🚨BREAKING: A lawyer active in lawsuits seeking to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory, and later represented the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of killing George Floyd, is the latest attorney to be hired by DOJ’s Voting Section. https://t.co/eJlU2JZObc

Trump’s budget director Russ Vought is the most dangerous person you’ve never heard of.

And he just proposed turning every federal grant into a loyalty test.

His plan would make funding for cancer research, housing, transportation, and public health depend on one thing: whether it “advances the President’s policy priorities.”

Not whether it works.

Not whether Congress authorized it.

Whether it pleases Trump.

This is the appropriations power. It belongs to Congress and to the people.
To my Republican colleagues: where are you?

Congress passed this funding. You voted for it.

Vought is telling you to your faces that your votes do not matter, that he and his enablers will override the law whenever it suits them. Every day you stay silent, you give away the institution you were elected to defend.

Grow a spine.

This is not about left or right.

It is about whether Congress still exists as a coequal branch, or whether we have quietly surrendered the purse to an unelected hack who holds the Constitution in contempt.

History will remember who stood up and who looked away.

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

Republicans want to hand ICE and Border Patrol another $70 BILLION.

The kicker? The agencies are already sitting on nearly $100 billion in unobligated funds—enough to fund them for the next four years.

Completely wrong.

Pretty soon everyone in Texas will be vegan because no one will be able to afford beef thanks to trump and Republicans.

You can’t troll someone who’s comfortable trolling himself.

Donald Trump had over 3,700 stock transactions since the war in Iran started, and he profited over 220 million dollars. Don't tell me how he "donates his presidential salary" ever again you stupid fucking MAGAs

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

Rep. Angie Craig: "Do you know how much money farmers lost last year?"

Brooke Rollins: *doesn't answer*

Craig: "It was $28 billion. You're the Secretary of Agriculture."

[Britni Danielle @BritniDWrites]

So Virginia can't use their new map, which was approved by voters. But Alabama can?

But sure, SCOTUS isn't "political"

How pissed do we think Elon is that all his promises are actually being fulfilled by a Socialist in NYC?

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Sen. @ReverendWarnock: The Iran war, which is costing tens of billions of dollars. Is that spending a good idea?

Trump's Treasury Secretary: When Obama was in office--

Warnock: Obama left office in 2016.

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

When he’s gone and this is all over, I don’t want to hear a single journalist talk about how terrible he was when they spent the entire fucking time normalizing everything he did

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

This is fascinating and worth your time. Jared Kushner is using his quasi government position to grease massive deals with Saudi money and backing from a shady Epstein-connected network.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Agriculture Sec @BrookeLRollins in November: "We have screwworm under control south of the border. Beef prices will come down by spring 2026"

Beef prices continue to rise, and screwworm is now in the US.

WARNOCK: Do you still driving deeper into debt to extend billionaire tax cuts was a good investment?

BESSENT: During the Biden admin--

WARNOCK: Look, Joe Biden has been out of office for two years. The fact you keep talking about him tells you everything.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Boyle: 71% of the American people disapprove on the president's handling of inflation.

Bessent: The American people were torched under the Biden administration.

Boyle: I wish I had a dollar for every time you or on someone on the Republican side brought up Biden's name. If I did, I might have as much money as you have

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

1/ I’ve always thought that knowing history will follow “The Roberts Court,” the Chief Justice would have at least some measure of concern for the reputation attached to his tenure. I no longer believe that.

Communism when it’s helping people, it’s not when it’s helping unprofitable coal plants

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

This is the latest Trump corruption to push back on.

He's gotten the attorney general to exempt him from the tax laws that govern everyone else—including other presidents.

Bill and I released 30+ years of tax returns and were audited a few times! https://t.co/6JiiVjIv3F
