DOGE "is not an official federal executive department"
It's fake
A new department would have to be created by Congress
This is so basic. It's scary how many people don't get it

What a nasty human being she is. This is directed at her new co-worker in the House of Representatives, who is a trans woman and will need to use a restroom at work.
I hope Nancy Mace's constituents in and around Charleston, South Carolina flood her inbox demanding she stop behaving like a bigoted middle school mean girl mace.house.gov/contact

The "Tik Tok Ban" bill is not what you think.
While it does target TikTok, the bill sets up a whole new power for the President to ban many more platforms in the future.

Lead sponsor of the TikTok bill, Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) admits the real reason they're rushing to ban TikTok -- because it's "becoming the dominant news platform for Americans under 30" and the US government doesn't control it like other platforms

I hear you
I will read the TikTok ban bill
Episode will be out early next week

I have some bad news - buried in the appropriations bill being voted on this week is a terrible new gun policy rider that significantly rolls back the firearms background check system.

🚨 #BREAKING: Biden's NTSB Chair has just admitted to in a Senate hearing today the "controlled explosion" of the train in East Palestine, Ohio was UNNECESSARY
She says the chemical tank cars had already cooled and stabilized, meaning there was NO risk of an "uncontrolled explosion"
The explosion severely contaminated the waterways and showered the town with toxic materials—much of which is could potentially lead to widespread & long term health issues for residents
The government has been telling us for over a year now that they had no choice to but to blow up the train cars, or else they'd blow up anyway.
DID THEY LIE OR ARE THEY JUST TOTALLY INCOMPETENT?
SOMEONE MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!
