Here’s how the process is supposed to work:

At any given moment, Trump may be lying or he may be hallucinating. But he’s clearly calling the shots. The task for the rest of the apparatus of government is to get to work turning that lie or hallucination into reality. www.thebulwark.com/p/is-he-lyin...

This is a lie... First of all town halls aren't being held in "arenas" they are being held in churches, schools and community centers. Second, 90% of the time you have to be a resident who lives in the district to register to attend with a valid address.
Mike Johnson: "The problem is they're being ambushed by right now by in many cases paid protesters. You've got George Soros-funded groups. They are very well organized ... the actual constituents of these Republican members can't actually make it into the arenas."

In case you missed it – Donald Trump and Elon Musk are getting ready to privatize the Postal Service.

Let's talk about what that would mean:

I don’t judge Mitch McConnell for his choice of political party.

I judge him for his greed, racism, and hunger for power.

I judge him for causing irreparable damage to the Supreme Court, and not voting to convict Donald Trump.

So will others. So will history.

✊🏻Marc is the one you never knew who has been defending voting rights—and winning—in every corner of the nation for all of us, long before you even knew it was an essential fight. Thank you, Marc!
I specialize in representing Democratic campaigns because I believe in the party. I litigate voting rights cases because the right to vote is the bedrock of our democracy. I speak out about free and fair elections because they are under threat. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

There is going to come a time in the very near future where the only way to resolve this is for every non-MAGA media company to band together and simply refuse to walk into the presser or attend the event. Because he wants the coverage more than anything else. Divided you fall.

How is it not in bold letters above the fold on the front page of every newspaper, the top story on every news media outlet that Elon Musk has full control of the U.S. Treasury Payment System?!?! News suppression is never okay.

No one elected Elon Musk.

As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences.

We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

FBI firings are a 5 alarm fire.

Firing the senior leadership, scores of senior agents and hundreds of line agents will make us less safe from criminals and external threats. This is a catastrophe of yet incalculable proportions. These attacks on law enforcement are a menace to the American people.

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

Folks, this is a very big deal to have political appointees in charge of every government check. Maybe Dems have more to say about this? Might be a good time to raise the roof.

Nobody is paying attention to things like this because the CDC no longer communicates. The current occupant of the White House broke government. He broke the ability to keep America safe. This is spreading, and this administration plans to pretend it doesn't exist.
