This is the most absurd and appalling document to issue from an official government body in the United States in modern American history.
We are losing our country. https://t.co/LgQdCiXvi3
The @AP has obtained the full list of 875 contracts to be cut at the @DeptVetAffairs, lauded by DOGE and now paused for more review. They include: Cancelling a contract that supports disability ratings assessments; a contract to answer 24,000 requests for military records to help veterans with proving their toxic exposure and other conditions were connected to their time in service; the engineering needed to integrate VHA, DOD, VA and other agency datasets to assist with medical histories; calibrating radiation detection equipment ... and many more. https://t.co/NCfCpZtq0I
Senate Republicans are trying to ram through the first part of their billionaire tax cut plan tonight. Dems are forcing amendment votes all night to put them on the record and grind down the process.
Doing an Instagram Live right now at @senchrismurphy to give an update.
🚨Despite damning revelations about Kash Patel’s financial ties to Kremlin-linked associates & the Chinese Communist Party, his nomination has cleared another hurdle. A final vote is expected this week.
Americans should be concerned about an unqualified, politically compromised operative like Patel leading our top law enforcement agency. Republican Senators like Lisa Murkowski (AK), Todd Young (IN), John Curtis (UT), Mike Rounds (SD) & Susan Collins (ME) are crucial in deciding the outcome.
The top is what it looked like a few hours ago - now someone has gone in and changed $8 million to $8 billion in the FPDS system. Also the dates are different. 2/
@gbufc78 @GovTimWalz This time is different, TexasGreg, because Trump’s HHS secretary is in TX - where the latest measles outbreak has infected 58 people (many children) - still railing against vaccines. 13 have been hospitalized. How many more?

New Trump executive order issued last night says the president "shall provide authoritative interpretations of law for the executive branch." https://t.co/RNtzE1CPPX
"The President and the Attorney General, subject to the President’s supervision and control, shall provide authoritative interpretations of law for the executive branch. The President and the Attorney General’s opinions on questions of law are controlling on all employees in the conduct of their official duties. No employee of the executive branch acting in their official capacity may advance an interpretation of the law as the position of the United States that contravenes the President or the Attorney General’s opinion on a matter of law, including but not limited to the issuance of regulations, guidance, and positions advanced in litigation, unless authorized to do so by the President or in writing by the Attorney General.”
NATIONAL ARCHIVES UNDER ASSAULT: The historical memory of our country is in danger…
The acting U.S. archivist and senior staff at the National Archives just resigned after Trump officials pushed to replace them with loyalists.
Not just the records you expect, the archives include slave records, immigration records, Japanese internment, camp , Native American treaties—all at risk. This isn’t just corruption—an attempt to rewrite history?
@SassiestMinx Ivanka stayed pretty far away during campaign, then made appearances at the convention, election night and inauguration. And boom - at his side at the Super Bowl. A fair weather daughter?
