Confirming, as was obvious from context already, that this wasn’t a one-off. They are routinely using Signal to evade statutory record retention requirements.

SpaceX? Rockets exploding. X? Falling to cyberattacks. Tesla? Stock down 50% since Trump’s inauguration. And MAGA’s plan? Hand him the government. Because nothing says stable leadership like a guy who can’t even keep his own companies from crashing—literally.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979. Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth. Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

Curious how people who complained about a two party system not giving us enough choice now feel about the country being run by a single man. #nokings #democracy

We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

People need to understand that we are in an entirely new paradigm. It is now Russia the US against Ukraine and Europe. This is not a shift in US policy, it is a transformation of what kind of country the United States is in the world

While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent. SAY NO TO OLIGARCHY.

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I am the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

Our parks are in chaos. We’ve seen firsthand how Trump’s hiring freeze, the rescinding of hundreds of job offers, and the layoff of 5% of NPS staff have left us overwhelmed and short-handed.

NEW: Dozens of USAID employees sue Elon Musk and his faux-agency, DOGE, for an unconstitutional "government takeover." They allege DOGE’s actions violate the Appointment Clause and the separation of powers principles of the U.S. Constitution.

Here it is—I knew Elon Musk would eventually target Social Security and Medicare. He dismissively labels them as “federal entitlement programs,” ignoring the fact that this is our money, paid into over the course of our lifetimes. www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-ma...

The world’s richest person, without any actual authority, is infiltrating entire govt agencies and gaining access to sensitive info. And it's being done in an effort to slash federal spending in the name of "efficiency" so America’s wealthy can get another huge tax cut.

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority. Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness. Call your rep now (202) 224-3121

After the reckless & irresponsible press conference, it’s worth examining Trump’s history of deeply offensively ablelist comments.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

The president can veto or support legislation. He can make recommendations to Congress. But he doesn't have the unilateral right to change laws. Trump has very little respect for the rule of law & our Constitution. He is moving us toward authoritarianism. We must stop him.

Trump just paused all federal grants and loans. In his memo, he claimed to be “ending wokeness.” “Wokeness” to him is attacking community health centers, Medicaid, disaster relief, child care programs, nutrition assistance programs like SNAP, WIC, and school lunch programs. Unacceptable.
