New from me: Michael Lewis provides a timely reminder that even the heroic federal employees who tried to block DOGE grifters could only do so much. If DOGE could not be stopped at the time, accountability must be on the agenda for the future. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/blockers-a...

I'm a big fan of the complaint she was "summoning witnesses with no notice on federal holidays." Well, yeah, that's what happens when you suddenly start destroying things on the weekend before a federal holiday. Maybe next time don't do that.

I want to try to underscore how big a deal it would be to take back Mahoning. This is the epicenter of Trump's transformation of the Rust Belt. The media has spent literally years turning it into a symbol of Trump's humbling of Dem elites over their failure to appeal to the working class.

Can the denial and wishful thinking about Trump and Russia finally stop now? But he’s trying for peace! (Telling Ukraine to surrender, trying to enrich his cronies) But he told others to sanction Russia! (Just a show—no follow up) But he’s sanctioning Russia! (No, Congress did and he removed it)
