Vought was the one who illegally withheld military aide from Ukraine so Trump could extort them for lies about Hunter Biden. Project 2025 was his plan to use the whole federal government that way, and now he’ll implement it.
BREAKING: In a stunning announcement, Mike Johnson just made clear he might help Donald Trump approve nominees through recess appointments. Johnson and Trump seem bent on undermining the Senate.
His ignorance is astonishing. Putting an immediate cessation on ALL drug development and infectious diseases researfch invites billions of $s worth of lawsuits, as NIH would have to break contracts with 100s of research universities and scientists. And you can't SNAP make "chronic disease research" happen: there has to be a grants process.
What an idiotic blowhard.
The Trump administration plans to nominate Jay Bhattacharya to lead the NIH. Bhattacharya has spread disinformation on COVID, fought against lifesaving measures including vaccines, masks, and social distancing, and is backed by dark money groups pushing corporate interests.
BREAKING- Senate leader John Thune said today that there are not enough votes to pass a recess, which would have allowed Trump's appointments to take their post without a hearing.
So Gaetz, and the others will have to go in front of committees and be grilled.
Your thoughts?
Right wingers seem to have wild misconceptions about how prosecutions work. It can be the case that someone did a crime, but that it could not be charged because a key witness, just for example, framed someone else for sleeping with a child.
A single judge in Texas just blocked four million American workers from getting the overtime pay they earn.
This is exactly why our fight for workers isn’t over.
In the next two months, Senate Democrats can...
-Fill 47 judicial vacancies
-Ensure a Dem majority on the NLRB
-Appoint key regulators to the SEC and FDIC to protect the American people from financial fraud
-Reappoint FTC Chair Lina Khan
Democrats need to act. Now.
Awful: Senate investigations into Trump's solicitation of $1 billion from Big Oil and Jared Kushner's financial dealings with Saudis will now hit a wall with GOP control, Dems tell me. We're headed for unchecked elite corruption under Trump.

It would not be illegal to read the report on the House floor, although Johnson would try to stop it by saying it besmirches a member, take down the words and prevent him/her from speaking for the day. So get a tag team. They would likely all be censured, but so what?
