Asked what was next, #TomHoman said: "Another flight, another flight every day."

"We're not stopping. I don't care what the judges think," he added.

With the #Republican-controlled #Congress largely backing his agenda, federal judges have often been the only constraint on #Trump, putting many actions hold while they consider their legality. In several cases, the admin has refused to comply w/judicial orders.

Social Security Employees Warn of Damage From #DOGE

Current & former employees, both #Republican & #Democratic, are raising alarms about the damage cost-cutting efforts could do to the agency’s ability to serve the public.

"Many current & former Social Security officials fear the cuts could create gaping holes in the agency’s #infrastructure, destabilizing the program, which keeps millions of people out of #poverty"

"Necessary": Musk calls for judge who blocked Trump deportations to be impeached

The billionaire shared a post from a #Republican congressman seeking to impeach the Obama appointee
salon.com/2025/03/16/necessary

" #Musk shared Gill's post... announcing the planned #impeachment move, calling the action "necessary."

Musk's response comes shortly after a judge ordered the #Trump administration to reinstate scores of probationary workers fired using #DOGE 's blunt methods."

Today is a good day to spot unserious people.

Yesterday, demanding that #Democrats filibuster the #Republican #ContinuingResolution could be motivated by one of two opposite reasons: 1) pressure the party to unite behind a single tactic; 2) amplify division over the tactics.

Now that the filibuster didn't happen, ripping into Democrats who refused to do it can only be motivated by reason #2. These are not serious people.

Serious people are moving on to the next opportunity to unite us.

We're talking about the company controlled by a guy who sent money to Trump, changed the Washington Post into Republican propaganda.

You sure you want him to record what you say in private?

@bruno_j_navarro Just my thoughts on this but....there is no #republican party it is #trump #maga the #GOP is dead and gone as planned. I suggest journalists need to cease propping up the deleted party with statements that they still exist. They are nothing but his stalking horse and this should be clear in each and every article. Report the facts as they exist now, not in the past. The #GOP is a tool to end democracy per #project2025. All is going according to plan. #FreeAmerica

The time has come for Chuck #Schumer to go. His lack of resolve is going to enable Elon the #oligarch and the president that he purchased complete their takeover of the federal government. We need to let every #Democratic senator know that they should vote against this #Republican bill that cedes the powers of Congress to the executive branch.

@MissGayle

Yes. My father was a #conservative #Republican. He died while #Reagan was in the White House. My mother was a #Democrat. It was my dad who took me to political events when I was in high school.

He expected electeds to do their jobs. That is, represent the voters who put them there. This why I can legitimately name things Republicans supported that were actually good for people.

- Exploring cloud seeding to combat drought as an alternative to
rerouting or damming waterways.

- Ethanol in gasoline. The idea was it burned cleaner and would be a way to use agricultural overproduction as well as use waste from food crops.

- Universal Basic Income. Nixon supported UBI, but his crookedness tainted the idea.

In the late 1970s, the #FBI ran an operation called Abscam, targeting corruption. The Republican rep for my dad's district not only turned down the bribe, he reported it to the FBI.

These assclowns are not conservative. Move fast and break shit is the exact opposite of conserving. Redundancy is conservative; efficiency is not.

"Utah Sen. Daniel Thatcher is leaving the #Republican Party...

he’s grown increasingly frustrated with the Republican’s unwillingness to listen to constituents and bills that limit individual #freedoms...

recent legislation targeting ballot initiatives, public employee unions, #LGBTQ Utahns & #immigration.

“There is a growing disconnect between the #public we are supposed to represent and your representatives,” he said."
