SCOTUS said we'll determine when he breaks the law. 18 USC 1385, 6 USC 466 <crickets> Why is the focus not on SCOTUS abdicating the job they chose for themselves? Stop making this an academic exercise. @npr.org @cnn.com @msnbc.com @theguardian.com @briantylercohen.bsky.social @thebulwark.com

For the legal wonks: Is the Trump administration's blanket cancellation and reversal of government grants and appropriations at odds with section 4 of the 14th amendment? @scotus-blog.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social @joycewhitevance.bsky.social @kimwehle.bsky.social

@maddow.msnbc.com. Rep. Jamie Raskin has created a FOIA form to demand DOGE provide answers to if and how they have accessed a persons government-held data. What better way to stick it to the brogrammers than snail mail by the millions? jamieraskin.com/doge-privacy...

If @schumer.senate.gov is seeking to take Mitch McConnell's mantle of most reviled Senate Leader in congress, I can think of few better ways. So, good job? #putz

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

I said it once and I’ll say it again. I am a HELL NO on cloture and HELL NO on the Republican CR that provides Elon Musk a slush fund to support his illegal operations.

I will be voting no on the House Republican CR

Is it proper to call @schumer.senate.gov the Vichy Senator from New York? Asking for the people the DNC Leadership overlooked as important, were shocked when they lost their votes, and now are being ignored again on the possibility of "What if". #ComeDownFromYourDamnedTowerChuck

NEW — I'm told FDA supervisors called employees today to stress return to office dates in apparent effort to pressure them into taking deferred resignation deal & didn't mention deadline is no longer tonight (thanks to court order). Being done by phone to avoid paper trail for unions, source says.
