Don't take your eyes off the Repubs.
Republicans have signaled their intent to break all budget rules in the Senate by inventing their own cost estimates on the spot. This would be many steps towards nuking the filibuster - and you may as well repeal the entire Congressional Budget Act at that point. Thread explaining it would work

This is what competitive authoritarianism looks like. "giving political appointees a direct line to tax investigations for the first time since Richard M. Nixon was president."
👀 NEW at the IRS: The Trump admin is gaining power over criminal tax investigations -- the first time that's happened since Nixon. Trump installed an Hunter Biden "whistleblower" as deputy of the criminal division. Gary Shapley has told confidants he expects to soon be in charge.

The House voted to censure Rep. Al Green—a man who has spent his career fighting for justice and the people he serves. Why? Because he caused good trouble. We will stand up to anyone—even the President of the United States.
Last night I stood up for those who need Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Democrats will never abandon the fight to make sure every American has a safe, healthy, and financially secure life. #ISaidWhatISaid
Just the medicine for what ails me!
Last night Trump made damaging admissions in our Appointments Clause case vs Musk & DOGE He directly contradicted DOJ’s representations that Musk was not in charge of DOGE We just filed with the court to take judicial notice— more proof that Musk’s appointment is violating the Constitution!

Amazing! How easily Trump wiped his ass with Supreme Court Justice John Roberts. I thought Nixon was bottom of the ethical barrel, but Roberts just plumbed the depths to unfathomable new depths.
Chief Justice #JohnRoberts has declared #DonaldTrump above the law & the United States a #monarchy in which the president has absolute power unlimited even by the Constitution: kudos to the three liberals for dissenting from this destruction of #democracy... apnews.com/live/supreme...
May the name John Roberts be ever associated with infamy.

Zelenskyy got flagellated for Putin's pleasure. TASS was supposed to prove it until it got found out and left. How much more proof do Republicans need to concede they voted the wrong guy in? BTW, won't be long before TASS appears on the approved press corps list.
What really seemed to get under Trump’s skin were Zelensky’s harsh words about Putin. Trump, who had nothing but good things to say about Putin, seemed offended on his behalf and scolded Zelensky for hostility toward the man who had invaded his country. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/u...
Funny how only the females are being tested. You know, because there could NEVER be any females that would want to become males. How many tracks does Paxton's brain run on? Only one apparently.

Scoop: I obtained audio of the impromptu meeting MSNBC chief Rebecca Kutler held Sunday morning with Joy Reid's staff. Kutler sought to address employee concerns, but the conversation quickly grew tense and emotional. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/rebecca-ku...

So if my human resource office tells me to roll over and die I'm EXPECTED to?

Isn't there a single Republican legislator who by now is feeling the tiniest tinge that maybe voting the party line for U.S. President maybe wasn't the greatest idea?
"Republican Senators have in recent days made the case to Cabinet secretaries and other Trump officials... trying to finagle exceptions to Trump’s executive orders or cuts made by Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service that freeze hundreds of billions of dollars..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Ukraine is about to be carved up and served between the United States and Russia.
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy hit back at President Trump's accusation that Ukraine started its war with Russia, saying that the American president is trapped in a “disinformation bubble” and adding that his country was not for sale.

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...
