The guy who asked Zelensky if he owned a suit, Brian Glenn, is a reporter for the pro-Trump media network Real America’s Voice and also Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend. He got one of the rare Oval Office interviewer spots only after the White House blocked the Associated Press.

Musk and Trump's attacks on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau are illegal and corrupt. They want to gut a watchdog that helps protect regular people against the worst corporate abuses. I'm joining House Dems to fight their unlawful attacks on CFPB in court: www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Trump and Vance's behavior is disgraceful and dangerous. They're helping our enemies, hurting our friends, and weakening our security. Putin’s bloody, unjustified invasion has left hundreds of thousands dead and is killing more every say. This is a shameful moment in our history.

An average person who did something as incompetent as “accidentally cancelling Ebola prevention” wouldn’t be applauded, they’d be fired. And they didn’t restore it, Elon Musk was lying, the Ebola prevention work still isn’t happening.

Musk: I should say we will make mistakes. We won't be perfect. But when we make a mistake we'll fix it quickly. So for example with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled briefly was Ebola prevention.

No one had died of measles in America for ten years, until yesterday. That 2015 death in WA was preceded by a 12y period of no US deaths. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt... HHS Secretary RFK Jr. says it’s “not unusual.” apnews.com/article/meas... It is unusual. www.cdc.gov/measles/data...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services is
"watching" the outbreak, which he described as
"not unusual" during a Wednesday meeting of President Donald Trump's cabinet members.
The health secretary did not provide specifics on how or if the federal agency is assisting on the ground.

Congressman @beyer.house.gov on Jeff Bezos and the Washington Post:

Rep. Beyer quote tweeting Jeff Bezos' announcement of editorial changes at the Washington Post:

"I grew up with the Washington Post. As a new Congressman ten years ago I made sure we got the print edition in my office, and I read it cover to cover.

I have learned so much about issues affecting my constituents, our region, the nation, and the world from the Post, and communicated important information through its pages"

Continued: "As someone who values the essential role the Washington Post plays in our region, Jeff Bezos’ interference with the Post’s mission grieves me. It undercuts good reporters who work there, and jeopardizes the faith of his readers.

When he bought the paper in 2013, Jeff Bezos said, “the values of the Post do not need changing. The duty of the paper is to the readers, not the owners.”

As a reader, I wish he would remember and reflect on those words, which remain true today."

She represents over 6,000 federal workers, not including active duty military, federal contractors, and postal employees. All of her constituents deserve better from their Congresswoman than lies about their work and character.

Huge, huge news. There are a lot more than six fired federal employees whose worker rights were illegally violated by this administration, and many more reinstatements should hopefully be forthcoming. So many people are with you, federal workers—you are not alone. www.npr.org/2025/02/25/n...

Federal board orders government to reinstate six workers fired by Trump

The Merit Systems Protection Board, the quasi-judicial agency that hears appeals in federal employee labor disputes, has ordered a stay in the firing of six probationary employees.

House Republicans just passed this budget resolution by the thinnest of margins after first cancelling the vote, but every Democrat voted against it and the lines here are clear. We will fight their cuts to Medicaid and tax cuts for the rich tooth and nail.

The GOP budget resolution will be disastrous for the American economy. It will strip health care from millions, and make it harder for families to put food on the table. All for billionaires and corporations to get tax cuts they do not need, that our country cannot afford. youtu.be/vop8yHr3PE4
