@DefiantLs Republicans are the stupidest people of all time. They ignore what they saw with their eyes and will believe this lies instead because they are too stupid to see that they are the bad guys

@RepCarbajal Idiot. You will NEVER build your way to affordability. It’s nothing but a scam. Just look at Manhattan. High density, high rise housing,,,,and the most expensive in the country. Fools like you need to resign.

Housing costs are rising because we’re not building enough homes — and immigrant workers are an essential part of the construction workforce. Today I called for passing the bipartisan Dignity Act to fix our broken immigration system and fill the workforce gap that’s holding back housing construction. It’s a practical plan that protects immigrants and addresses the housing shortage. Let’s get it done. 🦺🔨

Yesterday Donald Trump tripled the size of his personal political army inside the government. Illegally. And almost no one noticed.
Here's what happened:
He signed an order converting ~8,000 of the most senior career officials in government into employees he can fire for any reason, or no reason at all.
These aren't rando's. They're the directors, chiefs of staff, and the people who write the rules or decide who gets federal money, i.e. the lieutenants right below his political appointees.
Until yesterday, they answered to the law. Now they answer to him.
A president normally gets ~4,000 political appointees. People he can bring into government and fire at will. I was one of them at DHS. You serve at his pleasure, full stop -- so if you're gonna speak truth to power, you're prepared to quit (or get fired if he doesn't like it).
The rest of the federal government is PROTECTED from firing if they tell the truth.
But Trump just stripped those protections. Adding 8,000 more people to his personal army. Overnight. Without asking Congress.
With the stroke of a pen, those people now serve at the pleasure of the president. They're "his" people, whether they like it or not.
And the chilling effect is real. An official who can be fired this afternoon for "subversion of presidential directives" (the order's own words) doesn't need to be hand-picked to know what's expected of him or her.
The threat does all the work.
By the way, this order is illegal. The law only lets Trump reclassify jobs when "necessary" in exceptional circumstances. And this blows an 8,000-person hole in the merit hiring / firing system created by Congress.
Without permission, Trump has created a whole new category of stormtroopers inside the Executive Branch.
If this doesn't get challenged in court, you're going to see the U.S. government become a very different place.

@SenAdamSchiff You’re a CENSURED LIAR. Nobody believes anything you say…..unless they’re a moronic brainwashed democrat

Once again, Hegseth refuses to advance several eminently qualified women and people of color in the military.
Instead, he is pushing a crony who has been passed over for promotion multiple times.
Our military and our national security suffer from his special brand of malign incompetence.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has blocked the promotion of eight Navy captains to be one-star admirals, including two female and two Black officers. 🔗 on.wsj.com/4nZD7MI
