This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon.

Sheesh. Bondi was a prosecutor for 18 years. I wondered how she would react when a witness was asked a yes or no answer if the
witness then started being defensive and filibustering with extraneous BS? Im sure she would have just sat back and let them talk incessantly. Sure she would have
Or how about this headline — “American citizen arrested without cause after exercising his Constitutional rights.” Very important that government propaganda not become the default framing.
Victims related to child-sex trafficking should hold up photos of themselves at the age that they were when they were assaulted. So the world would see the little CHILDREN they were then.

@khanna.house.gov will consider this when he brings out Epstein victims next week
Grijalva, who won a special election in Arizona in September, would be the deciding vote for a discharge petition that would force a floor vote on releasing the Epstein files.
@nbcnews.com@cbsnews.com@abcnews4.com@cnn.com 👇👇. This! The fact that you aren’t doing this when any gun event warrants non-stop on-air coverage is indicative how much you all are unwilling to actually be journalists. You are just press cosplayers wanting to preserve your access to power only.
I do not understand why television stations are not showing live coverage of how there is literally nothing happening in Portland and Chicago. I mean, Peter Jennings, Dan Rather, and Tom Brokaw would each be sitting on a set in those cities telling everyone the white house is lying.
Would be great to see today statements denouncing the invasion of Portland by:
- All Dem govs
- All Dems AGs
- Senate and House Dems
We have to denounce, attack, challenge immediately and defend the American people from this dangerous man.
“I’m really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell.”
To the people of the world who wonder if there are Americans who grasp how mad he is: There are. We can see it. We are working to mobilize our people to oppose him and his dangerous regime.
@democrats.senate.gov Yes, Sen Schumer… HOW? I’m sick to death of you guys acting as if we are in normal times and not fighting for our very lives and freedoms. GET WITH IT! We are at war with fascism. The GOP knows it. You are just being the Vichy. DO SOMETHING! 😡
Enough already. The White House via Stephen Miller says Democrats are an "domestic extremist organization" & JD Vance says he wants to crush the Dems. Trump says Dems are radical leftists and it was radical leftists who killed Kirk. How can you have bipartisan negotiations with people like that
Democratic elected officials, here's some unsolicited advice.
People are looking for leadership. Right now. This moment.
Someone, anyone, take the konch and forcefully respond to JD Vance and Stephen Miller's promise to declare war against America.
Speak up now. Press conference today.
@morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social You obviously didn’t really listen to the Mayor or Governor yesterday who said repeatedly that the federal government does partner with Chicago to address crime in many ways and multiple ways the President could increase that help and cooperation. Try keeping up.
Pete Hegseth shares a clip saying women shouldn’t have the right to vote, the 19th Amendment should be “repealed,” and women should “submit” to their husbands: “All of Christ for All of Life”
@senatedemocrats.bsky.social@housedemocrats.bsky.social I can’t believe after today’s abomination against Sen Padilla that some Senate Dems voted in favor of an administration bill. STOP acting like it’s politics as usual and get angry and go on offense. Damn. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
I’ve just posted this video message to members of the DC Bar, urging them to vote *AGAINST* AG Pam Bondi’s brother to be its next president. Please pass this on to anyone who is eligible to vote.

"I’d go further than Abrego Garcia’s lawyer. If this reckless and lawless action by the administration is allowed to stand, it’s not just the immigration laws that are meaningless; it’s the rule of law that is meaningless."

Since the DNI and the CIA Director have both testified that there was no classified information in the @theatlantic.com’s “Houti PC Small Group” thread, there is no reason for the magazine not to release the entire thing. I call upon it to do so.
No one ever said democracy and justice are easy. When you hear Fox News and Trump types exclaiming due process is too much of a bother, they’re saying democracy and justice are too much of a bother. Appalling.
Trump: "People are coming to me and talking about tariffs. And a lot of people are asking me if they could have exceptions." (this sort of patronage system is the point of Trump's tariffs)
I'm just genuinely shocked that so many people in positions of power -- people who could take a stand, make a difference, and be remembered for it -- have no interest in being on the right side of history.
This moment in our country's history is depressing, but it's also illuminating. We're finding out, in real time, whom among those in power will hedge their bets, trade complicity for personal preservation, and retreat into cowardice in the hopes they'll be spared.
And we will remember their names.
@senatedems25.bsky.social
She is EXACTLY correct. The Senators who voted for cloture betrayed those of us who are fighting as hard as we can to stop this would be king/dictator- without either the political power or bully pulpit all of those who voted for this have. SHAME ON YOU! I’M PISSED!
If I’m thinking thru the senate rules right (by no means certain), I think a single D senator can force the voting that’s starts tomorrow to last into the beginning of next week by refusing unanimous consent. That can slow things down and allow the backlash to expand.
I’m absolutely fucking LIVID at my senators right now.
I cannot believe how absolutely feckless they are.
Truly disgusted right now watching them capitulate to Trump and Musk’s vile administration and dangerous agenda.
No Dem Senator has to follow Schumer here. This is a weak stategic move driven by fear and learned helplessness. Don't follow him. He's leading the party into irrelevance and helping Trump and Musk in the process.
Call your Dem Senators and ask them not to join Schumer's surrender tomorrow.
Chuck Schumer needs to step down as leader. He clearly isn't lock in step with majority of democrats. This is bad. Im so angry with his caving. Listen shutdowns suck but this "CR" sucks even more and it's not even a clean funding bill. Pathetic.
Every retailer in America should display the original price of an item along with the new tariffed price.
Let it sink in for the slowest in the herd.
Tariffs are a tax.
You're paying for them.
Republicans control the White House, the House, AND the Senate.
If the government shuts down it’s on them and nobody else.
It’s not the jobs of Democrats to bail Republicans out for their inability to govern.
CHUCK SCHUMER HAS TO GO. He’s way past his best by date and I’m not talking about age, I’m talking about usefulness.
Senate Dems need to step up and have some courage.
If the Senate Democrats do this, yes, it’s a massive betrayal of their base and an unconscionable abdication of their duty.
Every single one of them who’s complicit in this scheme needs to be driven out of politics forever.
Democrats, Trump is increasingly unpopular and he will keep sinking as he destroys the economy. For the love of God, stand up and fight. Don't cave. Be an opposition party and reflect the anger of the majority. Win over people. It won't be as hard as you think. Stop being scared.
Senate Democrats,
At the end of today, you're either going to own the shutdown or you're going own Trump's agenda of chaos and destruction.
Choose wisely.
One interesting thing going on with Democrats: Those emerging as public-facing leaders--AOC, Frost, Crockett, Chris Murphy, Walz, Brian Schatz, others--are not ideologically uniform. What connects them is communication skill--you either have it or you don't--and a sense of urgency and stakes.
Senate Dems it is NOT true a shutdown will close the courts. You need to use your leverage NOW to rein in Musk. Don’t give your vote away especially on BS argument that you need to keep govt open to fund the courts
@senatedem.bsky.social If you don’t start to actually stand up with some clarity and passion to push back HARD against this fascist administration as it destroys our constitution and effective governing, history will record you as a big reason we lost our democracy.
Coons: "I'm gonna vote against what came over from the House Republicans to the Senate last night because I don't want to give my vote to support what Trump and Musk are doing."
