Can Kat Abughazaleh Help Democrats Grow a Spine?
She’s a lefty 26-year-old internet star. Her primary opponent is 80 and has held office since 1999. Inside a race for Congress that could help revive a doddering Democratic Party.

It seems concerning that once you commit to the position that crashing the market is your plan, you kind of have to keep doing it.

This administration will go to any length to ensure the American public has zero transparency. Now, senior Justice Department officials are invoking executive privilege to block a dismissed lawyer from testifying before Congress — all in an effort to intimidate whistleblowers and suppress the truth.

“High crimes” was a term of art referring broadly to abuse of power by people in high office. It obviously could not mean “federal statutory felonies” at the time the Constitution was ratified, when there weren’t any yet.
Just a legal historian here reminding everyone that “high crimes and misdemeanors” do not need to be felonies.
They can include political abuses and stupidity, like, hypothetically, destroying the economy and wiping out people’s savings in 3 days.

You might ask why an entire nation's worth of computer experts opted out of "let's rewrite the code that handles all of Social Security in a couple months" before now and merely asking the question makes you much smarter than any of the script kiddies calling themselves 'DOGE'.
SCOOP: DOGE wants to rebuild SSA's codebase in months, risking benefits and system collapse, sources tell me.
The plan is to migrate all systems off COBOL quickly which would likely require the use of generative AI.

DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase In Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse
Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

The constitution quite clearly gives Congress the power of the purse, a power the Executive branch is pretending it now has.
