This is some scary shit—and everyone needs to pay attention because it could affect any one of us. Rachel Maddow & NPR just blew the lid off Musk’s DOGE team. A whistleblower at the NLRB says they accessed data without authorization and breached security. The potential motive is pretty shocking. 🧵

It’s hard to pick the worst thing this administration has done but kidnapping immigrants and sending them to a foreign prison without due process is horrific and wrong

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

This era of mass grift—driven by one of the most corrupt administrations in American history—isn’t just a crisis. It’s a massive opportunity for the Democratic Party to lead an unapologetic, system-wide anti-corruption campaign.

He’s tanking the economy, destroying our standing in the world, depriving women and LGBTQ communities of their fundamental rights, attacking the environment, disappearing legal immigrants, gutting Veteran’s benefits and Social Security. And he’s making you pay for his golf trips while he’s at it.

Musk is rich because you gave him $38 billion in tax money to make that. He is happy to tell you what you don’t need. He’s also picking a side in foreign policy, and it’s not our side

Personally, I don’t want to spend the next years just resisting. Time to support courageous progressive leaders who will fight for change and rebuild better: End Citizens United Universal Healthcare Ban assault weapons Scotus term limits Support Green New Deal Raise minimum wage Abolish ICE Etc.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

@schumer.senate.gov I’m wondering if it’s a lack of courage or $$$ that is influencing your decision to support this disastrous CR Vote NO

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

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.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov, we, the American people, demand you stand with Senate Dems voting NO on the CR & Cloture. NO blank checks for Trump & Musk. NO gutting funds that help families eat while billionaires cheat the system. Stand up for us! Hold the damn line!

Measles outbreaks are back. Grocery and gas prices are up. Bird flu is spreading. All our allies hate us. Air travel is getting unsafe. The stock market is tanking. The government is about to shut down. And he’s only been President for six weeks. This is just the beginning.

It was never a better idea—Republicans have been masterful at convincing folks to vote against their own interests.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

Over the years, Musk and his businesses have received at least $38 billion in government contracts, loans, subsidies and tax credits, often at critical moments, a Washington Post analysis has found, helping seed the growth that has made him the world’s richest person.
