The endgame here is getting the Supreme Court to declare that the entire civil service system is unconstitutional. Which is to say, this administration does not want us to be a modern, efficient, globally competitive nation-state.

Instead of responding only with thoughts and prayers, Australia will respond with laws and regulations. Because, unlike the United States, it values the lives of its citizens over any sick adulation of firearms.
The 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to immediate, sweeping, bipartisan gun law reforms.

The White House continues to make our work harder. They’ve:
✂️ Cut funding for transportation and education
👎 Effectively told families in poverty “you’re on your own”
❌ Presided over the longest government shutdown in history
🚨 Failed to act after Western Maryland was hit by a devastating storm.

Tomorrow, Republicans have a chance to vote to prevent 24 million Americans’ premiums from spiking.
If they really care about affordability, this is the single easiest and most important vote to support. Somehow, I doubt they’ll do it.

Q: If DOJ doesn't release the files it has by next Friday, is there anything Congress can do to compel that to happen?
MASSIE: It's a crime if they don't. This is a new law with criminal implications if they don't follow it.

It's been over three weeks and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

If telling troops they must disobey unlawful orders is sedition, you’re gonna have to hang all the military academy instructors, boot camp drill instructors and training manual authors, along with every member of congress that authorized the UCMJ by voting yes on the most recent NDAA.
