According to this report from @warren.senate.gov's office, Musk enriched himself by ~$769 MILLION PER DAY while leading DOGE. The projected deficit for Job Corps this year, cited as a reason to shut it down and kick students out on the street? $213M... what this monster makes in a couple of hours.

Sooooooo. Donald Trump gave Peter Thiel and Palantir a massive contract for mass surveillance of all of us with our data that Elon Musk stole with DOGE? And all those “big brother” screeching MAGA folks are rolling over and taking it? 🙄

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

You know, I probably have another 45/50ish or so years to live at best and I was almost scared I'd miss the climate apocalypse and being cooked alive in the comfort of my own home, so I am very relieved to hear we've decided to speedrun things.

25% tax on Apple products while singling out the CEO by name for retribution, 50% tax on European goods, expulsion of foreign students, bill passed with most debt in history, while hosting a dinner for people who gave you $300+ million. All in the last 24 hours. The Golden Age.

Hunter Biden was the Chairman of the Board for the World Food Programme USA, where he worked to feed the needy. Republicans are letting $100 million worth of food ROT in warehouses because they HATE the needy. But they convinced the public that Hunter was the problem...

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding. Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

I'm about halfway through Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's book about Biden's decision to run for reelection, and so far my takeaway is that no one who worked in the Biden White House or on his campaign should ever work in politics again, tbh

DEMOCRATS! Throwing Joe Biden under the bus won’t help you. •It won’t win over the base. •It won’t boost your approval. •It won’t bring back voters who sat out 2024. •It won’t fix 2026. It makes you look petty while Trump is burning it all down. REPAIR AND BUILD THE PARTY!

House Republicans want to name their tax bill: "Big, beautiful bill" There's nothing “beautiful” about the biggest cuts to Medicaid in American history, about cutting the largest anti-hunger program by $300B+, or about forcing kids to go hungry.

🧵1 A 12-year-old boy was left alone on a street corner after “ICE” agents arrested the adult he was with in Waltham, MA. They just drove away and left him. A child. On the sidewalk. Like trash. THIS is the face of our immigration system. Cruel. Inhumane. Indefensible. #OnYourSide @cbsnews.com

Convicted Felon Donald Trump fired the head of the Copyright Office, most likely because her office released a report that raised concerns about using copyrighted materials to train AI systems. And she's a woman. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #FuckTrump www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The “Make America an Authoritarian State” Trump regime is disappearing people to foreign gulags; arresting Judges and Mayors they disagree with; and floating the idea of suspending Habeas Corpus. This is a five alarm fire for our Constitutional Republic!

Buttigieg: Like I love A1 steak sauce, but A1 steak sauce is not one of the most important things confronting humanity right now. Artificial intelligence is. And somebody who doesn't understand that probably should not be leading an important federal agency.
