Wouldn’t presume to comment on his advice to Democrats, but I think this is the essential truth of our time:

“Mr. Trump’s appeal isn’t rooted in policy; it’s rooted in style. “

WELKER: When did President Trump exactly make the decision to strike?

JD VANCE: I don't know that any of us knew exactly when the president made the decision except for the president himself

Lutnick: "It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here. We let the auto plants go overseas."

Dear journalists: stop giving this administration the benefit of the doubt. Stop using old editorial standards and practices and norms. Assume that everything they say from the get-go is a lie because it always, always, is.

If you have zero education, but learn how to ask AI models the right questions , in many jobs you will be able to outperform someone with an advanced degree, but who is unwilling to use Large Language Models.

Dem minority leader,folks. Right here.
Chris Murphy: This is an exceptional moment that demands exceptional action. They are breaking norms every single day. If we aren’t saying, “If you’ve thrown out the norms, then we’re throwing out the norms as well,” then our democracy is going to die. At some point you have to fight fire with fire.

Getting rid of the American workers who take care of American veterans is wrong.

Veterans will not take this sitting down - we can make this the newest example of Trump being forced to back down from a bad move.
Trump administration plans to cut 80,000 employees from Veterans Affairs, according to internal memo
The Department of Veterans Affairs is planning an “aggressive” reorganization that includes cutting 80,000 jobs from the sprawling agency.

BREAKING: USAID contractors/aid recipients say Secretary Rubio and USAID leader Peter Marocco should be held in civil contempt for violating a court order to lift spending freeze.

Hey, maybe we could do the same?
I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

Hey Media,
Stop posting snarky retorts to reports on destructive actions by this administration. Start doing your job. The crisis is here. Report deeply and communicate clearly and frequently. Pretend your Woodward or Bernstein, but for the love of God, start doing your job. It's go time.

Make the Trump Administration, Elon Musk, and his “DOGE” bros prove that they are in compliance with the existing federal court orders.

Put some teeth on these court orders.

We’re dithering and losing sight of a huge issue:

OUR PRESIDENT, WHO IS A CONVICTED CRIMINAL, IS COMPILING A LIST OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT THAT PROSECUTED THE PEOPLE WHO ABETTED HIS CRIMES
WHERE WE'RE AT: DOJ is conferring with lawyers for FBI agents about a potential agreement to prohibit *public* disclosure of the list of FBI officials who worked on Jan. 6 cases.

The employees want an enforceable court order ASAP on this. Court is back in at noon.

Pay attention. It *is* a very stupid story but with ominous undertones.
This very stupid story feels important to me. The fact that lots of government workers pay for subscription news sites, and that this is a work expense, was not secret. The spending was public (on USASpending.gov).

What changed? Elon's reply guys raised a ruckus and he RT'd them.
