I can't get over the fact that they scheduled a televised Cabinet meeting, hyped it as a major event, planned it all out to show how active and in control Trump is ... and then he dozed off in the middle of it. Repeatedly.

44% of all American children benefit from Medicaid or SNAP. Republicans' budget guts both programs. Yes: the so-called "party of family values" is putting 34 MILLION kids' health care access and food security at risk.

“If I am understanding the numbers correctly, the latest version of their tax scam, the top 0.1 percent stand to gain $255,000 on average in 2027 alone,” McGovern said. “That is $700 a day every day.”

92% of non-disabled non-elderly adults are working, full-time students, or care-givers. Anyway the work requirement is only 110 billion of their 700 billion + cuts.

Jefferson Griffin tried to win an election by disenfranchising military voters serving overseas That’s awful Worse-his attempt was limited only to troops from Democratic counties That’s craven This is what the Republican Party has become A cabal of anarchists without any values-save one Power

Has anyone noticed that the Republican discourse about North Carolina’s storm recovery vanished after the election? Nothing. Not a peep from them. Probably because they don’t want you to know THEY LITERALLY DENIED FUNDING FOR NORTH CAROLINA THIS WEEK! Crazy how that works!

“This does not just affect North Carolina,” Riggs said. “This is like dropping a match in a really dry forest. And if we let this kind of anti-democratic effort take hold, we will not be able to contain it. So this is a fight for the very soul of democracy. Today’s decision was deeply misinformed.”

Wow. Rep. Jake Auchincloss minces no words about Signalgate on Piers Morgan: “Pete Hegseth is lying to the American people, lying to Congress, lying to the military.” “It’s incompetence incarnate…It’s embarrassing & it’s dangerous.” This is how it’s done.

Mark, a test of how deep the Article I crisis goes is whether every GOP Senator and Representative is prepared to wave off cabinet officials provably lying to their faces in Congressional hearings while under oath.

On Monday, Jeff Nesbit exposed the GOP's successful gaslighting playbook...hours later, Hegseth's Signal screwup proved his point. This historic national security failure should not be yesterday's news & there should be no second chances. Jen Rubin explains.

From inside the DoD: “Schumer's bungling over the past two months & creation of this lose-lose scenario is a complete dereliction of his duties. This was the sole moment where they had any real potential leverage to stand up and fight for the Constitution & they completely blew it from day 1.”
