Th only person in Trump world having a worse day than the former NSA Mike Walz, is Elise Stefanik. After Trump promised Stefanik UN Ambassador he snatched it back. And now he’s giving that job to the disgraced — and fired — Mike Walz. Ouch.

Trump declares a "National Energy Emergency" on Day One, claiming lack of energy access—in same orders he also rolls back support for EVs. Nothing says #EnergyCrisis like making it harder to switch to clean energy EVs while opening up Alaska to oil drilling. The irony is thick. #ClimateCrisis

We’re getting a sneak peak of governing in the Trump/Musk era. Spoiler: it’s ugly. Johnson is presiding over a trainwreck. Musk killed the CR & now Trump’s demanding a debt ceiling hike? Stock market is tanking. Government will likely shut down. This isn’t governance—it’s chaos. Change my mind👇

🌟 Big news in the Senate: Biden’s final judicial confirmations could happen as soon as this afternoon. Serena Murillo and Benjamin Cheeks are up for district court seats in CA. If confirmed, Biden surpasses Trump’s record for Article III judges confirmed. 🏛️ This matters.

“Buttigieg was introduced by an emotional Rashida Tlaib... She talked of a beloved uncle…who was hit and killed at a notorious intersection in town. Buttigieg heard about it…Now, there’s a multimillion-dollar federal investment to make the street safer for pedestrians. In short, government matters.”

Best parallel I can think of is if we tried to invade Canada because we thought Vancouver was basically ours, the entire US military got tied up in the forest, then Blackwater turned on us and started heading towards DC overnight, except Blackwater was financed by Rachael Ray.
