Bravo to Congressman Larson

Conneticut's Congressman John Larson tells it like it is during a session in Congress where Elon was supposed to show up to discuss his "plans" for Social Security but does not.

We all need a Representative like Mr. Larson.

From Democracy Docket - February 6, 2025

 Trump administration’s deferred resignation offer halted

• Just hours before federal workers had to decide on President Donald Trump’s administration’s “Fork in the Road” buyout offer, a Massachusetts federal judge temporarily halted the program until at least next Monday to hold another hearing.

DOGE blocked from accessing data in Labor and Treasury departments

• In a lawsuit challenging DOGE’s legal authority, the DOJ agreed today to restrict Elon Musk from accessing sensitive personal and financial Treasury data amid ongoing litigation. Two DOGE affiliates maintain “read-only” access to payment records.

  
  

• Also, the Department of Labor (DOL) agreed today to not share any records with DOGE before a hearing for a long-term block on DOGE's access takes place tomorrow. As of now, Musk’s faux agency has not been able to access DOL data.

Senate Democrats hold floor in all-night protest of Trump’s OMB nominee

• Democratic senators took to the floor of the U.S. Senate on Wednesday evening — through the night and well into Thursday morning — to vehemently voice their opposition to Russell Vought, Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Management and Budget.

Hearings coming up tomorrow

• A hearing held today in a federal Washington, D.C. court  — involving two cases filed by FBI agents seeking to block the DOJ from compiling a list of staff who worked on Trump's Jan. 6 and classified documents cases — will continue tomorrow at 11. a.m.

  
  

• A Massachusetts court will hear a lawsuit challenging Trump's birthright citizenship executive order. Democratic officials in 18 states argue that the order violates the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
