From Trump: If you are a judge and try to block my actions, I will seek your impeachment.

From Elon Musk: If you are a federal employee, your job is not safe.

From Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth: If you work at the Pentagon and you are not a white, Christian man, you don’t belong.

At 4 a.m. our Republican colleagues voted against Warren/Kelly/King amendments that would have stopped further tax cuts for people making over $10 million; then $100 million; and then $500 million.

No it isn’t a dream. 😴
They just did it.

Americans must suffer That’s what Trump & Musk say. But who really suffers? Not billionaires, it's working families. Rep. Mike Flood (R-NE) backs policies that make life harder while the rich thrive. How much more struggle before leaders prioritize people over profits? Sound off. #EnoughIsEnough

But hey, Teamsters, you couldn’t bring yourselves to endorse Harris
This morning, we learned that President Trump fired Board Member Gwynne Wilcox, whose Senate-confirmed term runs until 2028.
