Just found out, both the House and Senate will be on break on Friday and Monday for Presidents’ Day.
Called my reps and told them we’re in a constitutional crisis and that’s like taking a couple days off in the midst of Pearl Harbor.
Hey Congress, no breaks until DOGE is out.

A quick search of Cotton’s accounts show that the first time he posted a single word critical of USAID was 5 days ago, despite serving in the Senate for 10 years and the House before that.

To grab the limelight, Nancy Mace has targeted Sarah McBride, the nation’s first elected trans House member. The vitriol from Mace has been contemptible.
This is in sharp contrast with McBride, who has acted commendably and with grace. And ironically, McBride now has high national visibility.

Like many of you, I’ve spent the last few days taking stock. Very much unlike 2016, I feel neither despair nor paralysis. Instead, I shift between a clear-eyed detachment and a grim determination.

Trump handed massive tax cuts to the rich in 2017. Now he's planning even more cuts.
How are Trump and MAGA Republicans planning to pay for them?
By making it harder for millions of Americans to access Medicaid, food stamps, and other federal programs.
Trickle up economics.
