Selling your soul to Trump to come in third place. How embarrassing.

Wow.
Senator Thom Tillis@SenThomTillis
The careless decision to reduce our force posture in Europe, along with moves by Pete Hegseth and his political henchmen to force out some of our finest general officers is amateur hour at best and deadly at worst. Hegseth continues to surprise and disrespect our greatest allies and some of our best military professionals with impulsive decisions not grounded in reality or good judgment. If the rumors are true that Hegseth is trying to sideline General Chris Donahue, one of our nation’s finest warfighters, by downgrading U.S. Army Europe-Africa to a 3-star command, he is taking another step down a dangerous path. A step that is not in the best interests of our nation or our servicemembers. General Donahue has dedicated his entire career to upholding the high standards and warrior ethos that Hegseth claims he is restoring to our ranks. Gen. Donahue has led Soldiers at all levels in Airborne (including Ft. Bragg’s 82nd) and Mechanized units, the 75th Ranger Regiment, and our most prestigious special operation units. He deployed over 20 times in support of Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom, New Dawn, Inherent Resolve, Atlantic Resolve, Freedom’s Sentinel, European Assure, Deter and Reinforce, and in support of the Sudan crisis. Hegseth would do well to surround himself with more patriots like General Donahue and to get his henchmen, who are not qualified to carry Donahue's bag, out of the Pentagon. Keep your word, Mr. Secretary: choose meritocracy over your mediocre yes-men. notus.org/defense/pentag…

In new federal lawsuit, employees accuse Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins of "sending increasingly proselytizing communications to the entire USDA workforce, promoting her own preferred brand of Christian beliefs and theology to the captive audience of employees"
Per Federal News Network, USDA responded by saying "While we do not comment on pending litigation, we will keep the plaintiffs in our prayers during this process”

No American should be comfortable with the President of the United States accusing a reporter of treason for critical reporting.

Trump to NYT's David Sanger: "I had a total military victory. But the fake news, guys like you, write incorrectly. You're a fake guy. We had a total military victory. I actually think it's sort of treasonous what you write. You should be ashamed of yourself. I actually think it's treason."

Aimless driving still OK in Ohio, as long as you’re doing it at 55 in the fast lane.
Governor Mike DeWine@GovMikeDeWine
No, we did not ban aimless driving in Ohio. Drivers are free to drive aimlessly while enjoying #OhiotheHeartofitAll - as long as they aren't driving distracted or impaired. Whether you have a destination in mind or not, I also highly encourage everyone to always wear a seatbelt.

Weekend reading: Senate President Smith wants to keep his power position; election results combined with still-stewing feelings over the Raylee's Law vote mean troubled waters ahead

Let me get this straight. Trump sued his own IRS for $10 billion. His own Justice Department is now considering settling that case. And one of the terms on the table is that the IRS drops all audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses PERMANENTLY.
He’s using the full weight of the federal government to protect himself and his family from accountability and potentially pay himself BILLIONS of your tax dollars.

Xi: America is declining as a world power
Trump: HE MEANT UNDER SLEEPY JOE!!
No, you assclown - he meant because you’re intentionally isolating the US on the world stage and GIVING our influence away.

@RepRileyMoore Have you ever bothered to talk with any of the colleges in your district about this? I'm going to guess not.

Riley wants to take US-educated students and kick them out of the country rather than having them put their knowledge to work here. Kind of like West Virginia's brain drain problem, just on a larger scale and intentional.

💯 DHS has the ability to end this program now!

Budgets reflect policy priorities.
It makes no sense to cut U.S. Forest Service operations & research while spending nearly the same amount on a presidential ballroom.
Today, I told the USFS Director there is no justification for such a cut to caring for our nation’s forests.

HOLY CRAP: Never seen anything like this: "DOJ has proven unworthy of this trust at every point in this case. It has misrepresented and withheld information to both this court [and Judge O'Connor in Texas... Its representatives have, under oath, misrepresented salient facts."
Chris “Law Dork” Geidner@chrisgeidner
BREAKING: Judge McElroy quashes DOJ's Rhode Island Hospital subpoena in full, calling out DOJ's conduct as "misrepresent[ing] salient facts" under oath. "[T]he Court GRANTS both Motions to Quash and enjoins the DOJ from seeking or receiving any documents related to this now invalid subpoena."
