removal of Musk's goons from GSA and Treasury's payment system and appointment of an independent prosecutor that Trump can't fire to investigate what happened should be the table stakes for any Dem votes on the budget or debt ceiling. Should get more than that, but that's a bare minimum.
House Democrats "need to stand united against Elon Musk” and refuse to help the GOP pass budget bills until “Musk is held accountable for his crimes,” Casar told Jezebel. “Democrats actually have a lot of power to start righting the ship.”

This is so deeply, deeply, deeply fucked up.
“The trial was shutting down. A silicone ring inserted into her vagina, needed to be removed right away. … The stop-work order was so immediate and sweeping that the research staff would be violating it if they helped the women remove the rings.”

Dozens of Clinical Trials Have Been Frozen in Response to Trump’s USAID Order (Gift Article)
The stop-work order on U.S.A.I.D.-funded research has left thousands of people with experimental drugs and devices in their bodies, with no access to monitoring or care.

Trust me on this one: construction will come to a halt if Missouri deports undocumented labor. Meat packing plants will shutter. Concrete work will cease. Roofs will not be replaced. Hotels will run short-staffed. Landscaping and mowing services will go under.
We need undocumented labor.
