I really thought I gamed out what this was going to look like but I admittedly did not foresee “democrats help speed up the entire administration’s agenda and even vote to endorse it at times” as a core part of the first 44 days.

Why isn't everyone following Al Green's lead? The Democrats need to take notes from liberal voters and do actually meaningful disruption.

AOC for president. I don't see anyone else out there putting in the level of effort she is. She's also the most effective communicator we have in elected office.
🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument.
Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed.
3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened.
Erasure.

If you haven't called your banks to ask about what they're doing to protect you from the data breach that is Musk/DOGE, today should be a good day to do so and emphasize that without the CFPB you're really concerned about the future of VISA if they continue to partner with X as a money transfer tool

Slowing down from real time investigative work but one of my sources confirmed this @wired.com's report yesterday: "BFS is treating Marko's resignation as a cybersecurity breach. The cyber teams are working overtime to analyze the forensic artifacts Marko left behind and determine what he saw/did."
NEW: An internal email obtained by WIRED from a threat intelligence team monitoring US Treasury systems advised labeling DOGE operatives an "insider threat," adding that it recommended suspending their access "immediately."

When pointed out that she was egregiously breaking decorum, the chair ruled she was not.

a nice reminder to the press that there is nothing you can do to pacify these people or buy yourself leniency
this appears to be based entirely on subscriptions for Politico Pro that many govt agencies pay for. but it doesn't matter, this is now fact for roughly half the country for eternity and will be used to do whatever they want.
