Apparently: @GregAbbott_TX, @danpatrick, @tedcruz, @DrBuckinghamTX, @Burrows4TX, @JohnCornyn, @KenPaxtonTX a good with a wall through Big Bend. None of them have lifted a finger to stop it or said a word to formally protest it.

[Jonathan Wall @jonathanrwall]

The unsung heroes at the Masters? That would be the Augusta National grounds crew.

@TaylorMadeGolf’s Season Opener balls give a hat tip to those who keep the course looking pristine.

If you want to win a dozen, simply RT and follow along. I’ll pick two winners on Friday.

[Nick Kapur @nick_kapur]

Trump is shutting down the nation's premier honeybee research lab even as a massive bee die-off unfolds.

As usual, it is illegal to do this without approval from Congress, but Trump is doing it anyway.

[Texas Hemp Business Council @TexasHempBiz]

THBC has filed a lawsuit to challenge rules that threaten compliant businesses and overstep legal authority.

These rules don’t just tighten regulation–they rewrite the law.

This is about more than hemp. It’s about accountability, fair regulation & protecting Texas business.

[Senator Ben Ray Luján @SenatorLujan]

Trump released his budget last Friday, hoping no one would pay attention…but I did. To pay for his illegal war, here’s where he wants to steal the money from. This is just ridiculous.

[National Parks Conservation Association @NPCA]

The president’s 2027 budget proposal makes sweeping cuts across the Park Service budget, including a $736 million reduction (over 25%) to park operations, likely eliminating thousands more park staff after a year of severe losses.

The death of discipline, duty and the chain of command.

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

Great news, USAF pilots! You can now do special favors for AOC, Adam Schiff, Joe Biden or lefty Hollywood celebrities and Pete won't do anything about it! Obviously there's *no way* he would lift this suspension just because he likes Kid Rock, so this must be new Pentagon policy!

[JDRandom - RandomWhiteGuy @TheReelRandom]

This is why you don’t put unqualified fools in charge of the world’s most expensive demolitions crew.

He might just undermine the entire chain of command in one social media post.

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

What an absolute piece of trash. Hegseth is a criminal. — Hegseth exonerates helicopter crews over Kid Rock flyby, nullifying Army probe https://t.co/qasWaqm3v1

[Natural Resources Democrats @NRDems]

There are 50 Rice's whales left alive on Earth. They live nowhere else but the Gulf of Mexico. The admin’s own scientists said *last year* oil & gas drilling would drive the species to extinction.

Today, Trump's cabinet removed every protection standing between the oil industry and these animals’ deaths.

[Rookie City Det. Sergeant @RookieCityCop]

This has set a precedence that military members can disregard standards and protocols as long as it gets likes and views on social media.

This is an unqualified man undermining the chain of command beneath him.

[Eric Schmitt @EricSchmittNYT]

In an extraordinary move, Hegseth reverses Apache helicopter crew suspension before Army even investigates the incident, undercutting the service's authority and underscoring his contempt for legal guardrails in the military w/@ESCochrane

[Paul Rieckhoff🇺🇸🇺🇦 @PaulRieckhoff]

“No punishment. No investigation.”

No accountability for doing whatever you want with an attack helicopter that belongs to the US government.

As long as it aligns with the extreme and partisan politics of Trump and Hegseth.

Maybe Hegseth signed off on it.

But if they did a flyby at Tom Morello’s house, they’d be in Leavenworth.

The dangerous politicization of our military continues to expand.🚨🇺🇸

[Lawrence O'Donnell @Lawrence]

The world knows America’s Secretary of Defense has time for this law breaking during wartime because he’s an utter buffoon who doesn’t know what military discipline is.

[Moe Davis (U.S. Air Force, Retired) @ColMoeDavis]

Total lack of discipline, total breakdown in leadership
