Days into the job, Pulte ordered staff to identify roughly 400 employees to cut from our National Counterterrorism Center. That is the office our government built after 9/11 to track terrorist threats and share warnings across federal agencies before an attack can happen.

Trump handed Pulte control of our entire intelligence apparatus in the middle of a foreign war and directed him to start firing personnel, telling the Wall Street Journal he wanted Pulte to move without worrying about the “shackles” of congressional oversight.
Bill Pulte, a Trump loyalist with zero national security experience, is now Acting Director of National Intelligence.
And it is going about as badly as you would expect.

I believe Congress should set the interest rate on every federal student loan at zero. Higher education shouldn’t be a lifelong burden. It should be a real, viable path for any American working to build a better life.
But right now, 🧵👇

They found trillions for tax breaks for the wealthiest among us.
They couldn’t find a dime of relief for the 42 million Americans drowning in student debt.
Enough is enough.

So the Americans training to become our nurses, dentists, and doctors now face an impossible choice: Get preyed on by high-interest private lenders just to finish school, or don’t go at all.
And it gets worse still.
The administration is eliminating the Graduate PLUS loan program for new borrowers and slapping strict lifetime caps on what graduate students and parents can borrow.
Under RAP, most middle-class families will pay far more out of pocket, and they’ll grind through 30 years of payments before forgiveness instead of the old 20- or 25-year mark.
It gets worse.
For new loans, the government is wiping out nearly every flexible
repayment option.
Your choices are a rigid Standard Plan or the new Repayment Assistance Plan.
More than 7 million borrowers in the Biden administration’s SAVE plan are being kicked off, with just a 90-day window to pick a new plan.
Miss it, and the government automatically dumps you into a Standard Repayment Plan with monthly bills far higher than what you’re paying now.
That’s when the worst pieces of the Big Ugly Bill Republicans rammed through last summer finally kick in, and they make it dramatically harder for people with student debt to stay afloat.
Here’s what’s coming.
42 million Americans are buried under $1.87 TRILLION in student loan debt.
And on July 1, it’s about to get a lot worse.
I believe Congress should set the interest rate on every federal student loan at zero. Higher education shouldn’t be a lifelong burden. It should be a real, viable path for any American working to build a better life.

Deeply grateful to the hundreds of firefighters who battled the Mateo Fire through steep, rugged terrain at Camp Pendleton for the better part of a week and contained it fully with 0 injuries and no structural damage.
We’re so fortunate to have such dedicated heroes protecting our region.
This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.
Governments usually spend money to build things. This administration is spending billions to make sure some things never get built.

Billions in taxpayer money paid to private companies to cancel planned energy projects during a period of rising demand.
The administration has cited national security concerns while providing little public evidence to support them, and judges have said they were not convinced.
Strip away the politics and what remains is hard to defend.
