Fun Fact: There’s a federal website that exists only because courts forced the White House to put it back online. Twice.
Yes, really.
The site is https://t.co/k8sErkzo9G. Congress passed a law requiring the Office of Management and Budget to publicly show how it controls federal spending within 2 days of making decisions. Translation: Congress approves the money, but OMB decides when agencies are allowed to use it. For decades, those decisions were completely secret.
Then it gets wild.
In March 2025, OMB Director Russell Vought just… took the site offline. His excuse? Transparency supposedly had a “chilling effect” on White House decision-making. GAO said that was illegal. Watchdog groups sued. A federal judge said OMB was relying on an “extravagant and unsupported theory of presidential power” and ordered the site restored. OMB appealed. A second court shut that down too.
The site came back in August 2025 — not because OMB wanted it to, but because courts made them.
Plot twist: even after restoring it, OMB started sneaking in secret footnotes pointing to hidden “spend plans” that weren’t publicly posted. In January 2026, another federal judge caught them again and ruled they were still violating the law.
Why this matters: this boring little database is how the public catches the White House illegally withholding money Congress already approved. In 2025 alone, OMB withheld over $410 billion. Without this site, Americans would have no visibility into executive branch defiance of Congress.
The irony? The site loads like it’s powered by a hamster on a treadmill. That’s not sabotage. That’s just federal IT. About 90% of government websites fail basic performance standards because they run on legacy systems from the early 2000s.
Bottom line: this plain, slow, ugly database required an act of Congress, multiple federal court orders, and ongoing legal supervision — all so Americans can see how their own money is actually being controlled.
Which tells you exactly why someone tried so hard to make it disappear.

@dr_demetre Thank you for your service and dedication to the health of our citizens. During these times, voices such as yours are much needed. Please don't fade away. Keep speaking out and educating us. Millions are listening. Best of luck to you.
We were just suspended without warning from threads and @instagram. We have no idea why.
If any of y’all are on those apps and want to let them know to fix that we would be appreciative.
You might’ve heard that Sen @BasedMikeLee is attempting to sell up to 3 million acres of public land and open the door for 250 million more to be sold off later.
What you might not know: This is not a one-off.
It’s a long game - and he’s been playing it for years. 🧵
@JDVance We all honor our our military and give thanks for their unwavering commitment to serving its people. You, on the other hand, attack it. WORST ADMINISTRATION EVER!
BREAKING: Texas Republicans just passed a major book banning bill.
They say it’s about protecting kids from “filth.”
But when I questioned the bill author, he admitted that it could ban classics like Romeo and Juliet, Catcher in the Rye, and Lonesome Dove.
The Texas Legislature has given oil and gas companies legal cover to sell wastewater to be treated and released into the state’s rivers, lakes and streams. House Bill 49 protects landowners and companies from liability should consequences arise after they sell or treat the liquid. https://t.co/whCzKCu9fB
The death of Christ was a reflection of the evilness (selfishness, greed, ego,vanity) that exist in the motives and action (hearts) of man. Great leaders, the few that are truly righteous, that walk according to love and dare to fight against the injustices that enslave “the
Texans are projected to have higher electric bills & lose over $100 billion in investment if the US Senate passes the House bill as is. The industry will survive but we'll experience reduced grid reliability and economic slowdown, esp. over next few years.

This is probably one of the best speeches in committee I have EVER heard.
We often hear passionate emotional speeches and I applaud that, but this is a forensic dismantling of a woman who arrogantly thinks she and the administration she belongs to are above the law. THEY ARE NOT.
Kristi Noem attended the hearing intent on being obstructive and dismissive and Chris Murphy gave her a masterclass in the constitutional responsibilities of government. I salute you sir.

Fentanyl test strips are among the cheapest and easiest ways to prevent overdoses, but multiple attempts to legalize them have failed in the Senate.
This year, legislation to legalize these test strips faces similar challenges. https://t.co/y9q6yBgWYH
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
While you were sleeping, House Republicans snuck a provision into their billionaire tax bill to sell off hundreds of thousands of acres of YOUR public lands.
Raise your voice. Public lands belong in public hands. #HaltTheHeist
