The power of the purse is Congress’s strongest check on the president. If a president can both spend money Congress refused to give him and refuse to spend money Congress ordered him to spend, Congress no longer has the spending power.
Why You Must Care About the Ballroom

Obama: "I accused this admin based on the facts that they were engaging in unprecedented levels of corruption. They didn't say anything about that. The president wasn't even mad about the Saddam Hussein comparison. That part didn't bother him. But he was very upset about the Cheesecake Factory."
Obama: "This is what I mean when I say these are not serious people. They don't have solutions to actual problems, so they'd rather have the media, and you talking about the Cheesecake Factory."
U.S. District Judge David Carter: "Eroded trust in our democracy is irreparable. Once a vote is segregated, lasting harm has occurred. If the Executive can discount votes and threaten an ongoing election due to unproven allegations, then our democracy is in danger."
Democracy Docket@democracydocket.com · 16h ago🚨BREAKING: In a win for voters, a federal judge rejected the Trump administration's bid to force California to set aside ballots from 20k people it alleges may be noncitizens. The ruling preserves the status quo as voting has been well underway in the Golden State.
Obama: "The president is not only interested in home decorations. He is very much focused on enriching himself, and his family, and his cronies…And not a single Republican in Congress has done anything to hold him to account."
Sen. Ossoff: "They promised to drain the swamp. Instead, it's the most corrupt administration of all time, and everybody knows it…They lied to us into war and spent most of the last year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile.”
"One of the main goals of medicine is to help people who can’t fight off infections on their own. The alternative is to let them try....But that also means allowing some of them to suffer and die." From the recent archives:

“I don't know that he's going to handle the midterms well. And if they go the direction seems like they're going, he's going to get what Obama said years ago, a shellacking. I think this will be a shellacking to an even higher degree, because folks are tired of the chaos, cruelty and corruption.”
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 3d ago🚨 Gov. Josh Shapiro rips into JD Vance in a new interview. “The only smart thing it seems like [Trump] did was not endorsing Vance. That guy is just a profoundly and PATHETICALLY WEAK human being who wants to preach morality every day.”
"The same people who insist on policing public bathrooms to protect little girls from sexual predators are also smearing an actual child rape survivor." And not just that. The latest edition of Receipts from @crampell.bsky.social:

As turnout in Texas nears 3 million votes, Hispanic turnout is now exceeding presidential levels. More Hispanics have voted than did at this point in the 2024 presidential election. What's driving this huge increase? Young voters.
This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.
GM has made major layoffs throughout 2026. But its net profits for Q3 2026 rose 151% compared to a year ago. Its CEO was paid $30M in 2025 (333x more than the median employee). And GM is planning $20 billion in stock buybacks — the largest in US automaker history. Corporate greed in a nutshell.
