Senator Chuck Schumer, glowing, front and center, above the fold, on the Associated Press homepage. Loving that media spotlight like a true Democrat. Is he going on TV?

Helpful animated graphics showing Doge's mistakes and lies.
"debuted a website last month... the list has undergone dizzying changes. New contracts have been added, others deleted. Values have been altered, and altered again...
more than 2,200 contracts listed — or 40% of the total — show a savings value of $0"

"Donald Trump will go down in history as the first American president to have willingly betrayed his own country in service to a foreign enemy. His acts of treason will be taught in history books for generations to come, and the name "Trump" will become synonymous with treachery."
-Jon Cooper
Trump's statement is absolutely fascist.
Trump wants to end the Freedom of the Press enshrined in the First Amendment of the US Constitution.
And the Republican party will let him.
Trump & the GOP are trying to turn the USA into an authoritarian state instead of a democratic republic.
Unless #WeThePeople stand up and #Resist, they will succeed.

TSA Says Its Credit Cards for Bomb-Sniffing Dogs Are Cut Off
https://www.404media.co/tsa-k9-bomb-sniffing-dogs-funding/
"The #TSA spokesperson didn’t clarify whether these were #Doge cuts... but Elon Musk’s dept has been busy making poorly-coded & insecure websites, dodging #FOIA, gutting national parks resources... demanding federal workers list their weeks out in bullet points, and generally sowing #chaos all over the federal #government with layoffs & budget cuts."
Boasting about instituting the biggest deregulation in history, Trump's #EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin says he's driving a dagger right through the heart of "the #ClimateChange religion."
That explains why he & the rest of the #GOP can't seem to admit they're participating in & promoting their own cult religion even as they worship at the #ChurchOfTrump.
They don't have a clue what #religion is.
They don't even have a clue what Christianity is.

All I can say is these mofos in the #GOP have no idea how much anger they will eventually face, no matter how much they want to run from it.
Of course, there were a lot of veterans present, but the rest of us were there too. Lots of military family members and also people generally protesting this administration's betrayal of the American people.
One of the speakers asked the veterans present to please look into joining local veterans' groups, "because our voices are heard better...

On Chuck Schumer’s cowardice in advancing the MAGA budget
I just sent the following to Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla (both D-CA Senate). Please consider contacting them as well.
"Chuck Schumer must be removed as the Senate Democratic Leader. We must have a leader with the strength and courage to stand up to Trump and the MAGA GOP. Schumer’s decision to support advancing the Trump budget is shameful and a disgrace to the Democratic party. Listen to AOC. She is the base and the future of the Democratic Party. It’s unfortunate that she’s not in the Senate.”
Just left this for #ChuckSchumer

"Chuck Schumer, like Smilin' #JoeBiden, is a senile old man who lacks the spine to defend American democracy in its most perilous hour
#DonaldTrump and #ElonMusk and #JDVance are traitors, determined to destroy America, and all Chuck #Schumer can do is worry about honoring the illusion of "comity with our colleagues across the aisle" -- the #RepublicanParty
Chuck and Smilin' Joe are too senile to notice that "their colleagues across the aisle" have been pissing on Chuck and Joe's feet for the last two decades, all-the-while the #GOP has been smiling in their faces
Now Chuck capitulates before Trump, Musk and the entire GOP by stepping back into the shadows and allowing the Senate to vote on cloture - this after many true Democrats have put themselves on the line by publicly refusing to cave in
Backstabber. Coward.
Try to think of your country, Chuck, rather than the distorted fantasy of your "legacy"
Your "legacy" is trash
As are you"

Trump administration opens investigations at more than 50 universities as part of its anti-DEI campaign
Apparently, universities can lose federal funding if they've had a diversity program.

Making DOGE Cuts Permanent Is Easier Said Than Done
Plus: #GOP town halls are scarce these days.
https://www.thebulwark.com/p/making-doge-cuts-permanent-congress-funding-shutdown
"The prospect of ending these far-reaching programs—like #PEPFAR and, on a much larger scale, the foreign aid administered by the #USAID—remains distant. Beyond that, #DOGE ’s haphazard cuts are difficult to codify because they have a weak legal foundation & are hard to explain, let alone justify (hence the repeat un-firings)."

Trump Suffers Huge Loss as Judge Overturns “Unlawful” Mass Firings
At Donald Trump’s behest, #DOGE had sought to gut the federal workforce.
