@SecretaryWright This is sad.

YESTERDAY: The Trump administration bragged that the PJM power grid was relying on fossil fuels instead of renewables. "Keeping our air conditioners blasting."

TODAY: The Trump administration alerts PJM to cut electricity use as outages, overloaded transmission lines, and extreme heat push the system toward blackouts. PJM escalates emergency actions as a result.

DOGE deletes itself on July 4th. It will be remembered as a hugely destructive failure.

Musk promised $2 trillion in savings.

What we got, by DOGE’s own unverified math, was $215 billion. Even that number was never proven.

The costs were atrocious. Nearly 140,000 federal workers pushed out. Veterans waiting longer for care. USAID dismantled while people died overseas as a direct result. 20-year-olds with Red Bulls and no college degrees rummaging through Americans’ most sensitive data.

Musk, the world’s richest man, a federal contractor with billions in government business, auditing the government that pays him, accountable to no voter anywhere. 

Even Musk now says he wouldn’t do it again. The guy who ran it calls it a mistake.

Government reform was there for the taking. Both parties know federal technology is outdated. Both parties know waste exists. Fixing it required serious people working with career civil servants who know where the problems actually are. Instead we got a chainsaw, a photo op, and years of lost expertise we now have to rebuild.

Now Trump’s budget director says there will be no final accounting or receipts. They promised transparency and they’re closing up shop in the dark.
They’re counting on us all to forget.

[Donald Trump Portfolio Tracker @TrumpsPortfolio]

The president's son got FREE stock in a gun company one month after his dad won.

Then his dad's government proposed shipping guns to your doorstep like DoorDash.

Then mailing handguns through the post office.

Then cut the suppressor tax to $0.

Then legalized rapid-fire triggers.

Then killed the pistol brace rule — 7 MILLION guns back on the market.

34 deregulations. One spring. One executive order. One father.

And the SEC chair who approved the company's listing? He was at Don Jr.'s $500,000 private club 5 days after taking the job.

The company's own SEC filing calls Don Jr. an asset. They put the conflict of interest IN THE PROSPECTUS.

$PEW is the stock. Read more in bio.

🚨HOLY SHIT: Former Trump White House lawyer Ty Cobb calls Trump earning over $1 billion from crypto ventures “the greatest onslaught of corruption in the history of mankind.”

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Donald Trump is declining across every front, but the power he still wields is real, and dangerous. We must remain vigilant.

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

Holy shit.

This is Fox reporting on the “Trump family: biggest grift of all time.”

For once, they accidentally wandered into the truth.

Chuck Grassley voted last July to strip $1.1 billion -- with a B -- from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, dismantling locally owned and public radio stations nationwide https://t.co/tPK9BGVsJL

Fun Fact:
The six individuals were diesel mechanics and they were convicted under the clean-air act for tampering with and/or disabling emission controls on commercial diesel trucks. These were commercial vehicles.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

I’ll keep calling it out: giant corporations are manipulating the market to jack up prices.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

Did you know the department of energy deleted almost 6000 web pages on energy saving, all because they matched the advice Mamdani was giving in NYC?

It’s the world’s dumbest cult.

[Scott Dworkin @funder]

Rep. Jared Huffman led the House investigation that caught it: Trump hijacked America's 250th birthday "to sell access, hide his donors, and rewrite history."

Worth noting:

Ken Paxton is spending the 250th anniversary of our nation in a foreign country with his mistress.

James Talarico is spending the 250th anniversary of our nation in Texas, celebrating with those he will serve in the Senate.

Who represents American values?

[InfoGram @_InfoGram_]

🇺🇸 Donald Trump is going to lift the ban on mailing handguns directly to homes. That helps GrabAGun, the online gun store his son has a stake in. He’d rake in billions.

In any functioning democracy, this would be called massive corruption and He would have faced at least 2 years in jail.

This is the fellow who was railing yesterday against communism.

If our opponents can’t vote, we can’t lose…

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

Jack Smith had a SOLID case against trump, including witnesses who were trump's supporters, high ranking officials who campaigned and voted for him.

Hard to believe that fucker got away with January 6th, and pardoned 1,500 cop-beating thugs.

Disgusting.

BREAKING: Both Governors JB Pritzker and Katie Hobbs are removing any tax incentives in existence for data centers from their states. Data centers will have to pay their fair share in Illinois and Arizona. Let’s go.
