Kirsten Gillibrand@kirstengillibrand.bsky.social · yesterday

This administration is dead set on destroying every program that makes life better for working families. Despicable. "The White House tried but failed to block funding for preschool for poor children. Instead, it will seek to strip away standards on health, literacy"

Todd Blanche's Midnight Confirmation Gambit Doesn't Actually Rewrite Trump's Deal

And the "concerned" senators and much of the media are falling for it.

The chilling thing about the Trump administration falsely accusing David Hearn is what it reveals: they have no hesitation targeting ordinary American citizens when it serves their agenda. It’s the same playbook they used with Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and countless others.

Great advice (as always)!

Liz Oyer: Trump is selling pardons to his rich friends and MAGA loyalists, letting dangerous criminals walk free without vetting because they had the right connections or cash. Real victims pay the price while Trump auctions off justice like a favor bank. This is corruption, plain and simple.

This recent damage to a national monument comes amid Trump’s sweeping renovation efforts around Washington, D.C. This isn’t the first time that federal contractors hired by the Trump administration have damaged a historic landmark. trib.al/H3XfEyL
