Today, I filed an amendment to the House Republicans’ continuing resolution that clarifies it DOES NOT give the President authority to reduce funding for Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid.

Surely nobody will take issue with this.

NEW: In October, we published secret recordings of Russell Vought discussing plans to eviscerate entire agencies and decimate the morale of federal workers if Trump won a second term.

It's hard to imagine a more prescient piece of journalism, our editor-in-chief @sengelberg.bsky.social writes.
The October Story That Outlined Exactly What the Trump Administration Would Do to the Federal Bureaucracy
Historians have hindsight when they look into the past; journalists have the facts on the ground and context to help them look ahead. That means we can sometimes be surprised by how prescient a story ...

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.

100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

Elon fired him. Share his story.

I’ve been targeted for death in a bomb threat received at the Principles First Summit where I spoke today. To be clear, I’ve been threatened by far more capable people during my career. It won’t stop my advocacy for democracy and the Constitution: x.com/Acosta/statu...

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt to reporter: "I commit to telling the truth from this podium every single day.”

This is a lie.

Schatz: The drumbeat below all of this has to be that the policy of the Trump Administration is to rip regular people off. They’re transferring wealth from regular working people, the elderly, students, the disabled and shoving it to the wealthiest individuals that have ever walked this planet.

At 12 YEARS OLD, Harry #A5667056 arrived in Baldwin Park CA as a stray on December 2. With just one social media post which generated no shares, this poor senior is completely invisible. He's already spent 6 weeks there, without assistance he won't leave alive.

Definitely sounds like the kind of even tempered person who should be entrusted with the powers of the FBI
Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias.

He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social.

What really struck me in that moment was that it wasn’t just Ben in the room with President Biden. It was all of you. The Meidas Mighty. Ben may have been speaking, but it was your values, hard work, and tireless advocacy that were at the heart of that conversation. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

#ElonMusk is a slimy, racist coward—he hides behind the billions he collected (using OUR tax dollars to propel him), and attacks one of the few senators who fights tooth and nail to protect #Americans.
