If they’re going to prosecute lying to Congress, maybe start with Patel and Zeldin, with a side of Bove.
Not a fan of Comey, but I do look forward to watching his lawyers shred the MAGA DOJ.
“In China, more electric cars will be sold in the last quarter of this year than the total number of all cars sold in the US.”
This is how China extends its advantage while Trump screws up U.S. auto production.
More reason to pass my bill requiring a security audit of the data systems infiltrated by the DOGE boys. What data did they access? What data did they take? What back doors did they leave?

Democrats think the American people deserve health care.
Republicans would rather shut down the government than lower health care costs.
Reposted bySenator Sheldon Whitehouse
Trump's Big Ugly Bill kicks 15 million people off their health care, and unless Congress acts, premiums will double for 20+ million Americans.
Democrats want to solve the GOP health care crisis & keep government open.
But Republicans won't even TALK about health care.
I’ve got some more:
“You are not an idiot.”
“Lie like no one’s watching.”
“You are not an idiot.”

Instead of negotiating, the Trump admin is trying a different strategy: threaten to do something they’re already doing.
While Republicans play games with federal workers’ lives, Democrats are fighting to restore health care for millions of Americans.
We are not the same.
And do tell what became of the money...

Donald Trump loves to talk tough, but when he has to actually lead, negotiate, or deliver—he runs away.
He runs. He hides. He ignores.
That’s not strength. That’s weakness.
This is going to be Donald Trump’s shutdown.
A $50,000 cash bribe. Jeffrey Epstein. Higher prices.
Republicans have the White House, the Senate, and the House. But the Trump Administration would like to change the conversation, so they court a government shutdown.
The endangerment finding is a 2009 scientific determination by EPA that greenhouse gases harm public health and welfare. It’s a cornerstone of US climate policy — so naturally, Trump wants to rescind it.
I led every single one of my Democratic colleagues in saying “hell no.”
Wondering what’s on our “totally unserious” “radical wish list”?
It’s affordable health care.
God forbid!!

Last week, Democrats voted for a bill that would keep the government open and restore health care funding for millions of Americans who rely on it.
Republicans blocked that bill and left town.
If the government shuts down, it's because they refused to negotiate.
We all know Trump is a criminal and a thug; the real sin here is the likely roll-over by Bondi and Blanche, who know better — or at least pretended to in their hearings.
