judges ordered the admin to rehire who have not been. New laws don’t fix an enforcement problem.

SNAP benefits and back pay are already mandated by law. Trump is breaking the law. This is an enforcement issue. Dems gained nothing on these because it was already the law. And no one knows if the admin will obey the law. There are still Fed employees they fired earlier this year who /1

Tentative Senate deal reaffirms back pay, reverses RIFs for federal employees

to existing laws, nothing new or better. They have been illegally withholding SNAP, firing federal workers and threatening to not pay what workers are supposed to receive. How is that a win? And who is to say the administration won’t continue to break the law? federalnewsnetwork.com/congress/202...

Back pay for federal employees and a reversal of recent reductions-in-force are both included in the Senate’s initial agreement toward ending the shutdown.

Lawrence O’Donnell spewed absolute disinformation last night. There is no increase in SNAP benefits. They are resumed at current funding levels. And federal workers are supposed to receive back pay as a matter law. So what Dems got is another attempt to make the Trump administration act according /1

about Biden’s mental status? So we are to believe it makes sense to vote for Trump who rarely tells the truth? He’s trying to make Dane out to be something he is not so he can tell Dems to choose a business friendly candidate next time.

Brett’s not being intellectually forthright here. He doesn’t think Dane should be criticized because his vote for Trump was to help his bottom line and employees. Why doesn’t Brett tell us how Dane’s business was doing under Biden? And Dane couldn’t vote for Biden or Harris because they lied /1

Another great article (with gift link) on federal research funding which is at risk under Trump. Read and share so more understand how important this funding is for us.

Great article Ben. Thanks for sharing the gift link. I hope more people begin to understand the impact cutting federally funded research will have on the economy and our standard of living. Has anyone looked at what could happen to the economy if hit with the one two punch of cuts and tariffs?

President Trump 2.0 has openly committed more impeachable abuses of power than all prior presidents combined, including Trump 1.0. The question isn’t whether he should be impeached, convicted, and removed from office but whether Republicans have the guts to do their job. www.cnn.com/2025/04/25/p...

Does everyone know? It can be a risky assumption. Reporters opted not to cover a lot about Trump prior to and during his 1st admin because it wasn’t “news.” We found out after the election younger voters who too young to pay attention during his first term were not aware of important facts.

Donald Trump has pushed us to a new low. He has accomplished that by enriching himself, whether by pardoning a felon who, together with his wife, donated $1.8 mm to the Trump campaign; promoting Teslas on the White House driveway; or holding a private dinner for purchasers of his cryptocurrency.
