COLLINS: The Dept of Energy just canceled $1b for a hydrogen hub that covers Montana. Is that taking away good-paying jobs?

SHEEHY: Of course it is. We want govt to be open

C: But the Energy Secretary says he would've pulled that funding even if govt was open

S: ... Well, that's unfortunate

If you are not going, you give them your seal of approval. Not different as if you would not vote at all or vote for him again

(WSJ) At issue here is more the question: what on earth will Trump, et al decide to put into the Trump "Library"? Maybe fabrications, lies, lots of gold, stolen confidential papers from the government? Doubt this would be a hot spot for tourists.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

You can’t re-socialize them.

What are we going to do? It’s the next generation of arrested rapist/pedophile Republicans

A whole generation of children are already destined to be the victims.

JD Vance can dismiss the Young Republicans as a college group chat.

But let's be clear: the group chat includes a State Senator, a Trump Admin official, and multiple Republican staffers — and some of the worst comments came from folks associated with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Lawler.

One of the biggest lies I've ever heard from Republican's is:

"Just pass this stopgap and we'll deal with the rest later."
They have lied every single time.

Less than 11 months ago, we had a Democratic President who passed many sensible policies - including gun violence prevention measures to protect Americans. I miss those days. 💔

Here’s your reminder that one of DHS’s main jobs is disaster response, not cutting promos about terrorizing immigrants. Thousands have been displaced. Where’s Trump? Where’s Kristi Noem? Where’s FEMA?

The Young Republicans worship the same ideologies as the old Republicans. We should only be surprised that this leaked, not that it was happening in the first place.
