HMMM: So the administration reveals in a new court filing (ordered by Judge Bates) that Amy Gleason was actually hired by HHS as an "expert/consultant" on March 4, just a few days after the White House identified her as the administrator of DOGE.

An interesting theory on why Schumer supported the CR.
For sure. I know quite a few of his donors, professionally. It’s been a brutal week on Wall Street. If today they suffered another massive sell-off, the probability of a crash next week was exceedingly high. Still a real possibility. Yet, he chose them over us. Unreal.

Let’s face it, Schumer has been terrible even before this. It is time for new leadership. He isn’t the person for this moment in history, and the longer he clings to power the worse off we all are.

Mahmoud Khalil showcases an ugly thing about America: freedom of speech (and religion) poll very well in the abstract but if you probe with specific examples of things people don’t like the support falls through the floor. The default is “freedom for things I agree with, for the rest, the lash.”

THIS IS THE WAY.
The billionaire class wants us dumb, sick & poor.
That's why they're shuttering the Department of Education.
That's why they're gutting CFPB.
That's why they're slashing Medicaid.
Working people need to band together and stand up for our freedoms.

Here's a key reason Senate Dems shouldn't vote for the CR: Trump and Musk are the ones who are *already* shutting down the government. That's the frame the public will use to understand what's happening.

Insiders Loaded Up On Firm’s Stock—Right Before Don Jr. And Eric Trump’s Involvement Sent Shares Soaring
Experts say the trades likely don’t violate insider trading laws, but the timing raises concerns if the directors acted in the company’s best interests.
