“Brown said each of the centers has been visited in the past six months, but none of those unannounced visits turned up evidence of fraud. She said the department has not yet found problems that warrant pausing payments to any of the centers.”

Elon Musk is preparing to dump hundreds of millions into anti-trans propaganda. It may not help Republicans win, but it will terrorize the vulnerable. Democrats cannot let these attacks go unanswered this time.

I lost my job and had to give up my health insurance when the premiums exceeded $40,000. But at least I know some of those uppity student loan borrowers will have their wages garnished starting next month.

it requires an absolutely staggering lack of self awareness for chatterton to complain that he has lost elite opportunities because he has anti-woke views.

It's not the politicians job to inform you and make you FEEL like you WANT to vote. Its your civic duty to know how your government works, stay informed of who represents you and what they are doing. And then to vote in every election local state and federal

the tea party was really a seminal shift in how the median congressperson behaved in person
you stopped needing to be a successful schmoozer and started needing to be a totally unreasonable lunatic to win your primaries, and social media has only accelerated this

My theory that as members of congress are increasingly batshit it will increasingly select for even more batshit people who can tolerate the job is doing pretty well
Congressional retirements at a historic pace in both chambers. Per @ballotpedia.org , 50 Members have now announced. ballotpedia.org/List_of_U.S.... I gather it’s a miserable era to be in Congress for many incumbents.

I am deadly serious when I say that any liberal Project 2028 people should be taking names of the civil servants who go way past their authority to do stuff like this.
That is very much not me saying that normal employees following bad orders should be fired. But there’s a line. This crosses it.

Don't know the final results here but looking like maybe a 15 pt swing toward the Dems from 2024. You absolutely can't extrapolate a special election to a midterm. But that kind of flip in a special is a Defcon 1, we're all going to die type warning for the House GOP.
