Musk is either totally ignorant or very high. Something is wrong, he's not even able to effectively put together a sentence. This man has no business messing around at the top levels of our governmental agencies.

I think people are going to have to rise up. Having a billionaire come in and say he's going to dismantle and basically steal all of the money that hundreds of millions of Americans have put into this system is unthinkable.

They are literally destroying the country.

I'm really glad the people showed up and ambushed vance,seems appropriate.

VA fires 1,400 more staffers in second round of workforce reductions www.militarytimes.com/veterans/202...

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

Boycotts are taking hold. Protests are on the rise. Federal courts are hitting back. The Trump-Musk-Vance regime's popularity is plunging and DOGE is losing credibility. In these dark times, it's important to recognize that people are fighting back. Join them.

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

Be like mark

Gotta reply this guy.

Elon Musk collects $8 million per day from taxpayers. If DOGE wants to save money, they can start by canceling welfare checks to the richest man in the world.

Reminder: The guy splurging your tax dollars on Super Bowl tickets and NASCAR victory laps doesn’t care how much your groceries cost.

When did firing people like nuclear scientists and air traffic controllers seem like a better idea than simply taxing the rich?

About those checks Elon is promising...Bloomberg News calculates that based on DOGE's $9 billion in savings, each American would receive a check for a total of $11

We all should be calling all senators to demand this be done. There are a million reasons why what musk and his band of child hackers are doing is wrong but there can be no argument that he is way too conflicted to continue receiving government contracts.

Won't get any disagreement from me.

Until there is a standard where people / organizations can be held to account (financially at least) for spreading lies and misinformation this kind of lies will continue. The dissemination of these lies is what got us where we are today. No elon, not truth just another lie.

I would suggest that your calls today address the subject of musk and his "people" accessing private records and demand that it stop.

Can't find the humor anymore, it is just too horrifying to watch our democracy slipping away

Let's face it, the media, the "Fourth Estate" has let this country down. They were more concerned with sensationalizing the news than doing any real reporting. I seriously doubt most would be willing to give up access for principals. They have proven that already.

I did not know this. Really changes things. I support Ukraine 100% and have from day 1 but if this fact were better known I think that support for Ukraine would still be at the same level it was when Russia first invaded. Good job main stream media, good job...

This is exactly what they are doing and we need to let know that they are not fooling us.

Another issue for calls to reps. I call my reps (dems) just occasionally to say thank you and keep it up but try to call two reps a day that are republican. I pick a topic of the day & point out to them that I don't need to be in their district to donate money or time to back a primary opponent.

For those of us making daily calls (and I hope that is everyone) I think we should add the WH to the list and let it be known both the payments to musk and trumps weekly jaunts are wasteful and an abuse of the system.

😢

Sure hope he's right....
