Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Before you get too excited because there are some Republicans going after Hegseth, remember, this allows them to look “reasonable” and not have to attack Trump

Calling something that definitely isn’t a hoax a hoax is helpful because it shows none of the other stuff they called a hoax was a hoax either

This is a major major major scandal and must be treated as such

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Elon Musk made his $38 billion fortune off of government contracts and then used his billions to help elect Trump. Now, he's looking for a return on investment on the backs of American families.

He's a walking case study of why we need to overturn Citizens United.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Watch this clip, folks 👇 Does Bannon sound like he's joking about Trump becoming dictator for life? Because he isn't.
Bannon: "The future of MAGA is Donald Trump! We want Trump in '28. That's what they can't stand. A man like Trump comes along only once or twice in the country's history. We want Trump! We want Trump!"

A reminder I will be providing at least once a month for all of the remaining years of my life:

Months before the 2024 election, the Department of Justice announced that there were at least six hundred Russian assets inside the United States and that some...were SITTING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.

Trump wants you to forget that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator during his first week in office.

Don’t forget.

This is why you fight these cowards.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
