Posted By: ladydawgfan, 2/5/2025 9:48:14 PM
Congressional Democrats have begun scheming to use an upcoming government battle to force concessions from President Donald Trump. Though the next spending deadline is in mid-March, Congress has yet to agree on anything, let alone a deal to avert a crisis. “Democrats say they have little appetite to help Republicans, given Trump’s latest moves, and intend to use their leverage in the spending fight,” according to The Hill. Sen. Patty Murray, the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee, warned reporters earlier this week that “the level of trust is at the lowest I have ever seen it here in Congress,

For a solid week, blue states, labor unions, and non-profit organizations have descended on federal courts up and down the East Coast seeking to halt President Donald Trump’s agenda. And they have found receptive partners in a handful of federal judges willing to enter temporary restraining orders, or TROs, to immediately — and sometimes without any notice — prohibit the normal functioning of the executive branch.
To be clear, the TROs entered are not addressing specific disputes between Trump and the litigants, where the plaintiffs allege a particular action injures them in some concrete way. Rather, the country is seeing large coalitions of plaintiffs who oppose the president’s agenda filing lawsuits
Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency has Democrats furious and the Washington establishment a-boil — desperately trying to mire DOGE’s “break things and move fast” in lawfare and other counterpunching.
But the drive to uncover government waste and projects directly opposed by the public must not stop.
President Trump and his minion Musk need to keep the disruption growing, shining sunlight into dark fiscal corners.
Friday saw lefty “consumer advocacy” group Public Citizen team up with the University of California student government to sue to stop DOGE from getting Education Department data, citing supposed privacy concerns even though it’s working lawfully through the renamed US Digital Service.
Apparently, barging into areas you weren't invited has become a thing in Democrat Party circles these days as we now have our third incident in one week involving Democrat members of Congress going cray-cray over the government overhaul taking place and getting aggressive about it.
The latest involves, not surprisingly, Rep. Mad Maxine Waters (D-CA) and several of her colleagues trying to strong-arm a lone man, possibly a Dept. of Education staffer or maybe a security team member, who is preventing them from entering the building. It is unclear why Waters and the others are trying to storm the ED building: [Tweet]

A double down on DEI had the NFL previewing end zone slogans ahead of President Donald Trump’s unprecedented attendance that had one columnist crying foul.
“Trump soils everything.”
Sunday, tens of millions of people from around the world are expected to tune in to see if the Kansas City Chiefs will achieve a Super Bowl three-peat or if the Philadelphia Eagles will achieve their second championship. At the same time, those viewers will be made subject to a slew of woke content in contrast to the president’s attendance as league Commissioner Roger Goodell argued, “It does make the NFL better.”

Boston University assistant media technician Jared May took to the leftist echo chamber social media platform Bluesky to post a “Wanted Dead or Alive” image featuring the names and photos of Elon Musk’s DOGE employees. The University’s weak response was that “the views expressed do not reflect the values of Questrom School of Business.”
In his Bluesky post, May listed off the names of six individuals he said are “The men carrying out Musk’s coup,” and shared an image featuring their photos alongside the words, “Wanted for Treason — Dead or Alive.”
American taxpayers are no longer subsidizing foreign media once funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), prompting leftwing concern over the potential impact on global journalism and “democracy.”
President Donald Trump put a 90 day hold on all USAID’s foreign aid this week, which subsequently cut $268 million from media outlets in more than 30 countries, according to the agency’s 2025 foreign aid budget reported by Reporters Without Borders (RWB).
USAID’s 2023 fact sheet, taken offline due to the hold, boasted the agency supported 6,200 journalists, 707 news outlets, 279 media-sector civil society organizations, the Columbia Journalism Review reported.

Chaos After Republicans Block Elon Musk

The House Oversight Committee on Wednesday devolved into chaos after the Democrats, who are in the minority, failed to subpoena Elon Musk.
Democrat lawmakers lashed out at Elon Musk for shaking up Washington with his DOGE team.
The Trump Administration really poked the hornets nest after Musk’s DOGE workers accessed the Treasury Department’s payment systems.
The Democrat-media complex lashed out at the young Gen Z whiz kids cleaning up government waste.
The DOGE team also got to work cleaning out waste after Trump shut down the Democrats’ USAID money laundering slush fund.
On Wednesday, Republicans on the Oversight Committee blocked Democrats from issuing Elon Musk a subpoena for deposition.
Antisemitism may be one of the most, if not the civilized world's most ancient hatreds, and it resurfaces with baffling regularity. Most recently, hatred of the Jewish people is rearing its ugly head on American college campuses, where young skulls full of mush whose grandfathers may well have helped liberate German death camps are wearing kaffiyehs and screaming Hamas slogans.
At one school, the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in Manhattan, is being sued by Jewish students who were locked by security personnel into a school library to protect them from their fellow students, who had been whipped into an antisemitic rage, in October 2023.
Senate Judiciary Democrats want Kash Patel, President Trump’s FBI director nominee, to sit for a second hearing to explain “false statements” they allege he made during his confirmation hearing and answer questions about the recent firings at the agency.
“To ensure the Senate Judiciary Committee can fulfill its constitutional duty to provide advice and consent on the nomination of Kashyap Patel to be Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Mr. Patel must clarify apparent falsehoods in his testimony, under oath, during his confirmation hearing," the Democrats wrote to Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa). "It also is critical that Mr. Patel address a material item
During her appearance on CNN's "Laura Coates Live" earlier this week, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) went for a particularly unhinged take as she ranted about "white tears" and other racist remarks. Her comments have been showcased, criticized, and even became a trending topic over X.
After she ranted and raved against Elon Musk for some minutes with Coates, the conversation moved to discuss Darren Beattie, an acting undersecretary at the State Department whose social media posts have come under fire.
Crockett wouldn't even let Coates provide background to the situation as she ranted and raved about President Donald Trump, accusing him of being "a white supremacist"
A federal judge has indicated that she will issue an injunction forbidding members of the DOGE team, which is part of the Executive Office of the Presidency, from reviewing some financial records.
During the hearing, a lawyer from the Department of Justice disclosed that two "special government employees" associated with Musk, but employed by the Treasury Department, accessed sensitive records from the Bureau of the Fiscal Service based on "high level guidance" from the Department of Government Efficiency to prevent waste and fraud.
U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly gave the government and unions who brought the case until 6 p.m. ET to say whether they agree to the injunction,

Sure, if you're the Vatican, or more specifically, the Vatican's big umbrella NGO of NGOs known as Caritas, whose U.S. arms include Catholic Charities and Catholic Relief Services.
According to the Associated Press:
VATICAN CITY -- The Vatican's charity said Monday that U.S. plans to gut USAID were “reckless” and could kill millions, while Pope Francis’ point man on development urged the Trump administration to remember Christian principles about caring for others.
Cardinal Michael Czerny, a Czech-born Canadian Jesuit, is one of the cardinals most closely associated with Francis’ pontificate and heads the Vatican office responsible for migrants, the environment, the church’s Caritas Internationalis charity and development.

A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the Trump Administration to restore the gender ideology webpages it deleted.
US District Judge John Bates of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, a George W. Bush appointee, ordered Trump to restore the pages by midnight tonight.

NASA is training humanity’s most powerful telescope on a “city-killing” asteroid to determine whether or not we need to brace for deep impact.
Dubbed 2024 YR4, the building-sized space rock reportedly has a 1-in-43 chance of slamming into Earth in 2032 — up from about 1%, the Independent reported.
The asteroid was discovered by NASA in December and is reportedly at the top of NASA’s watch list when it comes to hazards from beyond.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., faced widespread mockery after launching a tipline to "expose corruption, abuses of power, and threats to public safety." On Monday, Schumer shared a link calling on "whistleblowers" to report violations, arguing they "are a vital part of Congressional oversight to hold the administration accountable." The categories whistleblowers can report include "retaliation," "wasteful spending," "fraud," "criminal activity," and "other."
"Today, I’m calling on our brave public servants," the Senate Minority Leader wrote as he shared the tipline form on X.
It’s a Croc block!
Dozens of schools in at least 20 states across the U.S. have banned students from wearing Crocs to class.
School administrators claim students are more likely to struggle to walk when wearing the shoes — which could be deadly in an emergency. (Photo) “It’s actually a safety hazard,” Stoney Pritchett, principal of Bessemer City High School in Alabama, told TODAY. “Man, they can twist the knees, twist the ankles, things like that.”
A group is planning a nationwide economic blackout as a response to the rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives sparked by the federal government. Why It Matters When President Donald Trump reentered office last month, one of his first calls to action was to end several of the DEI initiatives in the federal government. He mandated in an executive order that funds could be frozen for companies that do not comply. He also outlawed any messaging that promotes inclusion-based language. The orders have caused PBS to close its DEI office, while major companies like Amazon, Target and Google
Democrats are prepared to shut down the federal government during next month’s spending fight after becoming enraged over the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) financial audit of government spending.
The Democrats’ tactic puts them into a precarious position of supporting waste, fraud, and abuse, three items DOGE is tasked with cutting.
“I cannot support efforts that will continue this lawlessness that we’re seeing when it comes to this administration’s actions,” Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “And for us to be able to support government funding in that way only for them to turn it around, to dismantle the government.
Tom Homan confirmed that a series of leaks related to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations may have originated within the FBI.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that a massive Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation set to take place in Los Angeles, targeting thousands of illegal immigrants with criminal records, was leaked to the far-left press.
According to the leaked documents, the raid—dubbed Operation Compliance—was designed to be one of the largest immigration enforcement efforts in recent years, targeting primarily individuals with outstanding deportation orders, criminal convictions, and known gang affiliations.
Former Democratic donor-tuned-MAGA supporter Lindy Li dropped more details about Joe Biden and her former party’s shenanigans during the 2024 election. Li has been eager to spill all the things about the delusions that engulfed the Democrats, to the point where some thought they could win Iowa. Over $2 billion was raised and blown on Kamala Harris’ shambolic campaign for the White House. After some expenditures were made public, some megadonors warned they’d never write a check again.
Ms. Li said that after Joe Biden’s disastrous CNN debate that June, Hunter Biden commandeered the White House and sat in on sensitive meetings without a security clearance.
“GMA” host George Stephanopoulos has been “miserable” after being forced to apologize following the President Trump fiasco — and staffers are already speculating about who might replace him, The Post has learned
Stephanopoulos has been rumored to be on his way out, according to multiple network sources, since ABC News parent Disney agreed to settle a defamation suit in December over the anchor insisting on-air that Trump was “found liable for rape” — instead of sexual abuse — in a lawsuit by journalist E. Jean Carroll.
As part of Disney’s deal with Trump, the former Democratic operative — who co-hosts “GMA” with Roberts and Michael Strahan —
