vought's view is that the president is an elected dictator and lo and behold he is seizing outright the power of the purse

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.

A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

Trump’s attacks on our freedoms keep growing, but so does our resistance. Join the No Kings Protest Oct 18, 12–2pm, 21st & Boulder. Safety first: stay with the crowd, film agitator encounters and don't engage, and keep it peaceful.

Stephen Miller wants to spend $27 billion to deport 1 million immigrants, who currently contribute $89 billion in taxes each year.

Do the math: that's $106 billion
net loss for America.

Tell us again how it's not about racism and xenophobia.

Thank you for providing a more thorough and complete portrait of Russ Vought that identifies the threat he poses to democratic governance glossed over by other profiles.

Vought is likely the most dangerous person in the regime. Miller is focused on his white supremacist agenda to purify the nation. Trump is greedily doing everything to monetize his office. While Vought is quietly, systematically replacing "We the people..." with a Christian oligarchy.

We need to talk about Russell Vought – But Properly

Why certain mainstream outlets insist on sanitizing Vought as a devout “small government” conservative – and what actually animates his war against pluralistic democracy.

Some thoughts from my new piece:

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

In other words, Bondi believes she has the authority to preemptively murder, without due process, anyone the regime decides to arbitrarily label antifa with only the flimsiest of circumstantial evidence. The crime of the "cartel" members has been to be on a boat in the Caribbean near Venezuela.

Jeffries: "The streets are hot right now on Capitol Hill because the Republicans are just falling apart. They cannot justify their position having shut the government down. They cannot justify their position in terms of hiding the Epstein files from the American people."
