The Labor Department does not know how to help kids read. Nobody in HHS knows how to work with kids with disabilities. This isn't saving money—it's eviscerating the services students depend on.

If you believe Trump is sane, then Congress has the power to impeach. If you believe he's not sane, then we have the 25th Amendment. Either way - people in Congress and the Cabinet swore an oath. It's time to uphold it.

Trump and his voters have put us through so much pain and not one of his supporters has a higher paying job or cheaper healthcare or a better education for their children or new roads or sidewalks or hospitals... Nothing is better. Everything is demonstrably worse.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106. 12 days of work in 106 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Trump’s move to mobilize the National Guard against Americans in DC is another telltale sign of his authoritarian ambitions. But at some point signs of authoritarianism stop being signs and become symptoms of an autocratic regime. We’re far past that point now.
