The big reveal is that this - what you’re seeing right now - is in fact *exactly* how businesses are run; chaotically and at the whims of sociopaths who think they know everything, actually know nothing, and run away with a golden parachute to leave others to clean up their mess.
People constantly claim that the appeal of Republicans is that they are ‘successful’ businesspeople who will “run the country like a business”, but in reality they’re so incompetent at even the most basic tasks that they can’t even prepare a legally-mandated budget request on time.
MURRAY: It was due last week. By law.

PATEL: I understand.

MURRAY: You're not gonna follow the law? ... And you have no timeline?

PATEL: No

MURRAY: Hmm. We're not having a budget hearing without a budget request. So where is it?

Also let’s be clear about why they’re talking over Signal — they are attempting to skirt their obligations under the federal record preservation laws and ensure no records exists for public review.

It’s incredibly illegal, but what do they do that isn’t?

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.

No one knows why he was detained.
Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained
Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

Walz: Just like Elon Musk talks about entitlement programs. Those aren't entitlement programs. Those are the things keeping my mom alive. She paid into social security for 80 years. She should get that money back. And that's not what they believe

I’m sick to death of people saying we’re “descending” into fascism. The fascism is ALREADY here. THIS IS WHAT IF FEELS LIKE.
And if you’re not feeling it, it’s probably because you’re one of the “good Germans.”

The 'Threat to Democracy' Is Over
It's time to admit that the fascism we feared is already here.

Gillibrand's signature act as a senator was forcing Al Franken out, justifiably, for a pattern of harassment. To then overlook the clear, abundant, documented history of sexual harassment from Andrew Cuomo converts a hard line in the sand into so much meaningless mush. NYC deserves better, NYS too.
"It's up to New York voters, it's not up to me," Sen. Gillibrand told me re: Andrew Cuomo's bid for NYC mayor.

"He has a lot of talent as an executive, he's been a very strong governor ... but he has admitted and he has said he's made mistakes ... serious mistakes."

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

Hey, when random guys with no badges and no authority try to grab a protester and drag her away, that's when you put down the phone, get out of your seat, and fucking help her.
During a GOP town hall at Coeur d'Alene High School, Teresa Borrenpohl called out, “Is this a lecture or a town hall?” Witnesses said three unidentified men, who were not wearing badges or ID, then physically removed from her seat by order of the Idaho county sheriff.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.
