DCPS has 4 schools at Education Hill - a known traffic nightmare on a good day. This am, our bussed students arrived to our swing space at 11:30 am. Families sat on 26th Street for 2 HOURS.
We need more plowing ASAP!

I am a commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission. The president just illegally fired me. This is corruption plain and simple. My full statement:

Thank you America, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit. Thank you @POTUS, Congress, and the American people.
Ukraine needs just and lasting peace, and we are working exactly for that.

The world’s richest man who no one elected just walked into the US Treasury, stole your Social Security number, and Trump let him. You deserve to know why this is happening - call your member of Congress and Senators (202) 224-3121 and ask why.

“Laws passed by Congress” are the source of the funds to which you’re objecting.
Congress regularly uses the Spending Clause to encourage behavior it can’t compel—like building roads or providing healthcare to those who can’t afford it.
That’s not a scam; it’s the Constitution.

This is an excellent summary of Musk’s takeover of the Treasury from @NYMag’s @chasdanner, with quotes from WSJ, NYT, WaPo, and my op-ed from @MSNBC yesterday.
But this quote from @smotus is right on the money. This isn’t efficiency. It’s a coup.

It's been an honor serving as your @CFPB Director.
Every day, Americans from across the country shared their ideas and experiences with us. You helped us hold powerful companies & their executives accountable for breaking the law, and you made our work better.
Thank you. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

The AfD's mission is to rehabilitate the image of the Nazi movement.
One leader's license plate is an open tribute to Hitler.
A top AfD official said about migrants, "We can always shoot them later...or gas them."
Another described Judaism as the "inner enemy" in Germany.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin on Matt Gaetz: “We had all seen the videos he was showing on the House floor … of the girls that he had slept with. He’d brag about how he would crush ED medicine and chase it with an energy drink so he could go all night.”
Gaetz responds: “This is a lie”

If Trump wins, there will be efforts to blame Russian interference or the Harris campaign or Biden, etc. That's all fair. But we need to be clear eyed that a huge swath of America likes what Trump is selling. Transphobia. Mass deportation. That's what he ran on. And here we are.
