It doesn't seem to matter now does it? There's zero concern regarding the law. It's all lawless.
They're daring someone, ANYONE, to stop them. They do not believe they can be stopped.
7.4.26. this is their end date and not just for DOGE but for democracy as we know it.
Democrats like Obama should be leading HUGE amphitheater events denouncing fascism and this corrupt administration. People are FIRED UP. Use the power of rallies for good and not just campaign funds. Let’s get to it!
I’m guessing you’re a troll to divide us and make this into a black/white thing. It’s not. Sit this one out then and see how much better your life is in four years as they want to roll back the clock.
And I'm guessing you're ignorant AF to think that BLACK PPL will put our lives on the line for you when MANY of you voted to usher this madness in. Nope, WE know we're the fkn targets, Einstein! 🤬🤬🤬
The problem right now is we are all siloed. Everyone is just complaining that everything is illegal and just lock them up. But a movement needs to build. With a big live event that brings people physically together, others will feel progress and emboldened to join the next time.
That's the job of the Democratic party.
It's their job to act on behalf of Americans getting screwed.
That's what they were hired to do for Christ's sake!
Musky for Gitmo, where all illegal immigrants are being sent.
He lied to the Immigration Department / ICE which calls for revocation of his citizenship.
It's the same thing as if he hid a domestic violence PPO from Immigration officials before being granted U.S. citizenship. Fraud.
Our Congress members are completely out of touch! Too many of them think they can just play business as usual! Voting for Trump‘s nominees with a yes, vote is a betrayal to all of us! You can’t make deals with these people! The only thing fascist understand is an immovable Force! We must lead!
Felon's Republicans know Democrats will eventually vote for the crooked cabinet, it's only a matter of time wearing down the when-they-go-low-we-go-high politicians even though they know that strategy is antiquated in the world of Musk Felon.
Some Dems already have voted for some of the worst of the worst which is disgusting! They think they’re making deals doing favours and they’ll get something back in return! The time for business as usual is over! We are at war now! And if they don’t know that, our coalitions will take the lead!
Their capitulation keeps them from having Felon primary them -- so they think.
Felon cannot be trusted.
He would send his wife down the River of No Return if there was a deal in it for him.
Seriously. No one elected him. He has zero authority to do anything without congressional approval. And yet everyone's acting like this shit has already happened and so they roll over and actually let it happen. Know your rights! You're not obligated to help them.
Echo that!
First thoughts I had earlier were of Felon ⁴⁷ in a sand pit, being diaper trained with bucket and spade building his Gaza sand castles. Mar-a-largo Montessori and Donnie Day-care.
Meanwhile back in the real world, the sneaky shits with money... 😱 💥
You know what would have been better than grandstanding? If fucking leftists had been more interested in keeping Trump out of office instead of "punishing Dems."
Orrrr….the guy who is hacking all our systems hacked the voting systems with the help of foreign nations that want to see our downfall. Elon and Trump pretty much admitted it. This blame game is so tiring. Let’s focus our attention on the goal to make this better.
You ever think that the problem lies with people like you.
If the Dems had listened to what people were concerned about then America would not be ending now. Take responsibility
Trust me, there is a lot of blame we have been sharing as Americans. But did you ever think that there was a concerted and coordinated effort for the past few decades to manipulate US citizens?
It is past time to act. No more legislation that will never get passed in a republican majority house & senate. No more talk to make us feel good.
Action is necessary.
They are breaking our laws and must be arrested.
Every media publication ought to publish a list of agency protections no longer available every time trump's brute squad crashes an agency's .gov website
And due it Everyday every hour
Like a Public Service Announcement
Wishful thinking. Sadly, the media has been a big part of normalizing all of this. We need a list of people pushing this shitty agenda. Hold them all accountable and not just focus on our Trojan horses Trump and Elon.
The longer those handful of reps wait, the bigger the target they make of themselves for harassment or worse. If they don’t come out at all at some point, you know at least some of them are blackmailed.
Four of Henry II’s knights did the deed. Good old 1170!
It was under Henry II that the stone London Bridge started to be built. That one lasted until the early 1800s. Charles Dickens was around when it was still in use. I think construction began in the 1180s?
Who is gonna stop them? Judge says stop they say “roflcopter” because they want to sound cool and keep going. Trump says I PARDON THEE and the cycle repeats
You're not wrong, just need to take pages out of Trump's playbook of delay delay delay, and run out the clock. Or wait until the Trump/Musk romance explodes and things REALLY get interesting
Remember, Musk doesn’t have the power to kill an agency. He only thinks he does. Contact your representatives and let them know how important CFPB is to you. Elizabeth Warren didn’t set it up so Musk could knock it down.
Just pointing out the fact that even though Elonia (nor Fat Nixon) doesn’t have the authority to kill these agencies, he in fact is successfully doing so. Congress shows up and is stymied because the doors are locked.
Not cheering them on in the least. Just stating the facts as they are. 🫤
Everybody thinks that usaid was only for outside the country but on the news today it said it's going to affect thousands of farmers and cost $52,000 jobs. Where do they think the food was coming from to ship overseas America.
I disagree. The idea was to flood the zone with half-baked EOs knowing full and well that many of them would get challenged in court. Refusing to comply with the court would cause them to absolutely lose. They want to drag it out, leaving the outcome in suspense.
I’m in full doomer mode too but at least facets of our court system work for now, and cons will have to reckon with the fact that they’re abolishing the entire us system if they let trump ignore the constitution
I will keep contacting my reps. I’m discouraged because I have Tillis & Budd in the Senate and Tim Moore in the House. Everything falls on deaf ears. Still I persist.
It doesn't matter what he "believes". He knows he doesn't have that kind of REAL power, but who needs real power when his perceived power is greater. It all lies in who else believes he can do that, and of course, who actually cares.
You're right. His perceived power has already enabled him to install hackers, force federal employees to resign or be fired, and be the decision maker for a placeholder president who apparently is paying back the debt he owes to Elon for buying and/or rigging the election.
And I understand they're going to do court fights... HOWEVER... If they don't pay attentiom to those court orders... 🤷♂️ I mean why worry about some court order from some judge that he didn't put on place. This is where we are.
the only way would be to quarantine every computer they hacked and get forensic accountants and programmers to literally go over the code line by line and remove all their changes.
Whatever is torn down, when the smoke clears, and the last one willing to stand for right overcomes the darkness of this moment -We will rebuild all you have torn down.
The only thing you have done is given us reason to make everything better than what it was before you came.
He's such a little child. From the name DOGE to these little heee heee look at me I'm cool nerdish (sorry my fellow nerds who ain't drug addiction asses)
He's the type of person who tries way too hard to fit in and be liked, and people just laugh at him.
He’s absolutely NOT what the majority of the neurodivergent, nerd, and geek communities are (which is often a Venn diagram resembling a scallop-edged dish, perhaps; not a circle, quite). ♾️ ❤️ 🤓
I am so sick of reading abt “another f’d up thing” trump has done. What the hell is everyone in the federal government doing? Why is everyone just posting abt blatant illegal acts? How is any is this helpful? Dud we suddenly become immobile morons overnight?
There are sites citing all the legal action being taken.They have done so much in two weeks & while Congress was adjourned on purpose, to overwhelm, as part of Project 2025. They are following a playbook. Call your elected officials & educate yourself. Time for each of us to take action. It’s on us.
Put together a list of names that you can copy on all BlueSky posts & add to your notes. Then tag (paste) them in your posts, otherwise we are just talking to ourselves. Make sure your posts are reaching the right people. Here are some of mine…

What exactly do you think besides the lawsuits and the protests, can be done.
If too much is done they're going to kill a bunch of civilians and blame it on civil disobedience and who's going to do anything about it
"What the hell is everyone in the federal government doing?" This IS your gov't in action and is what was voted for - it is what "not being into politics" is. We watched this happen and 1/4 of USians decided it wasn't a great idea. The federal govenment is operating exactly as it is supposed to.
Because our forefathers never planned for this type of scenario. Where one party would dominate all 3 branches of government. Trump is a lawless AH and he is survived in life by litigating cases. He doesn’t believe the law applies to him and pretty much I’d say he is right.
Republicans won't say anything. Even if they think he's horrible, he's doing everything they want. They talk about the Constitution but they know he's broken the law by doing certain things, and they just shrug it off.
The gop themselves have been breaking the laws since at least Nixon. They’ve just gotten better at it, they’ve learned from their mistakes so to speak. They’ll only call trump or musk out if their own life depends on it. But it is kind of like the pot calling the kettle black.
There used to be a moderate Speaker of the House that used to keep our Texas governor in check, but he's gone now. He used to be against a lot of bills they are passing now and didn't want to go too far right. Even voted for Biden. I wish there was more like that. 😞
That's Bastille Day in France, marking a pivotal moment in the French Revolution and symbolizing the people's uprising against the oppressive monarchy; essentially, it's a call to remember the fight against tyranny and oppression.
Musk, an immigrant with very little/no experience in the government institutions, magically finds inefficiencies within a 2 week period. It takes experts months to determine wasteful spending/projects after thorough investigations. Make no mistake about it. Musk isn't after wasteful government.
He is going after those who had investigated him or is questioning his criminal intentions. It has been shown that he was an illegal immigrant at one point. Now, he is showing that he IS a criminal with a disdain for American democracy. Bankrupt/boycott his companies and products. Problem solved.
McCarthyism at its best. Please spread the message and reach out to your representatives. That to speak out against the President and not have similar views is not dissent and should not be punishable by Capitol punishment per the executive order signed by Trump. That is anti- American.
It's condenses the 900pg document that Putin had his hands on. Trump is following it to the T including the privatization of a quality education a sub class of public education this is centered around the Bible.
He is approaching it the way a Silicon Valley start-up would: break shit fast, then rebuild it better. Works great with code, but lousy with real people in harms way. Besides, the tech bros -- Thiel, Andreesen, etc -- WANT democracy to break, they've openly said so. It's their end game.
The lawlessness from this criminal Administration is only getting started. The confirmation of Russ Vought is only going to expedite it and increase it exponentially.
But WHO will stop him? Will the military step up? I’m stupid Gen X and watched too many Red Dawn movies 😫 Everyone fights and dies anyway. 😫 Who is coming to help us? Or what do I do to help us? Just HELP!!!
Stop talking and take action
Do a BLM thing, flood the streets in protests and bring America to a stand still.
Then defund by cancelling all his government contracts
Put them in prison this time without trial and throw the keys away
Or deport Musk back to SA
Interrupting the Super Bowl with a clear and concise message forcefully awakening all the "I don't follow politics" zombies in this country would be much more effective.
Authorized by an act of Congress (2010's Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act). Only an act of Congress can dismantle it. How many illegal actions does a naturalized citizen like Musk have to commit before moves are taken to strip his citizenship under Project 2025 guidelines?
He is probably immune from prosecution under the SCOTUS ruling that the president cannot be prosecuted for what he does in an official manner. Oh right. He is NOT the president. 47 has others take the fail for misdeeds just in case.
If the Muskrat keeps standing in front of the media spotlight Dear Leader craves so desperately he just might, especially since DL doesn't need his money anymore.
This is wild. I guess Capital One is off the hook for stealing billions from its customers, and the lawsuit just goes away. There will private entities that exploit/railroad consumers with little to no consequence 😶
It's a bit of a mirage that 58k cause he's got the xshitter algorithms cranked to boost his reach to as many users as possible especially to his core base of magats, the rest is his bots.
In his first administration, Trump was livid when postcards started arriving at the White House addressed to "President Bannon." I hope no one does the same with postcards addressed to "President Musk."
I have been saying for weeks that we need to praise Elon and call him real president the better looking the smartest of the two etc …..
It’s the best way to get rid of Musk! Trump will get rid off him quick!
I was talking to a friend about all the mega racist on X. She said it would be an idea to have a bunch of people all sign up at the same time & flood Musks with demands to get out of our government tweets. What are your thoughts
Not sure about the democrats but I think republicans in Congress like what Musk is doing, & are happy to have him doing the dirty work. They stay silent, their hands stay clean & he slashes spending they loathe like education & consumer protection.
I've never seen a president go to war on the citizens.
Anyway all these "slashes" are ways to cover up tracts to money streams they have had or will gain. Recently the USAID was investigating musk for his misuse of funds received for starlink coverage for Ukraine. There will be no spending saved.
Slashing house maintenance spending by burning down the house, that is what he is doing. And those idiots ignore they will have no house under which to live after that. But let's own the libs!
Do you think Musk realizes what he's being set up for? He's committing felony after felony, assuming that Trump will pardon him. Except, when the "breakup" comes and Trump kicks him to the curb, it may be without a pardon.
I love that. Trump will tie down our "loose ends", making it easier to deal with him. He's the kind of dude that will do just about whatever as long as he thinks it's HIS idea, and we can pander to his narcissism. Now is not time for grey rocking, but manipulation. Thanks, Time magazine!
I’m sure at least one of his bodyguards will be thinking of doing it. It only takes someone to send a bonus into their account and there’s the potential of it happening.
Seems to me, keep the narrative changing with performative moves (the majority of Trump EOs will be blocked), until what’s actually happening or not happening becomes unclear. They can only do what they’re allowed to do, but if we lose track of what they’re doing…the rapidity wears down the system
Wow, I see a lot of people just giving up on this thread. It is not over. We have not lost. We will continue to fight in the courts and the dems can still stiff Johnson (sorry bad pun there) on the budget etc. You have to work all the levers and rolling over is not one of them.
Trump has all three branches of the federal government, and all federal law enforcement is under the exec branch. And since all state cases would ultimately end up at SCOTUS, that won't do us any good, either.
We should keep trying, of course, but our systems are useless to stop this.
They used to but people got upset. Heroin transported in the bodies of dead US soldiers and all that stuff, not to mention the possibility they may have been involved in wacking the Kennedys (no idea if that’s not BS tho).
not in the usa unless asked to kill citizens i can't see them doing much in defiance. if they get their way with restructuring of leadership in every branch with unqualified yes men then we are in for worse. they are going to trying to replace generals that won't bend the knee based on project2025
I wish it was me. I have strongly considered thinking about considering being a cop. Only because I’d be such a good one. But I’d probably die at the hands of a bad one. Its statistics (has to be )
If they defy a Federal court order, the US Marshals office in the enforcement branch. They get their orders from the State Department led by Pam Bondi.
We already know she will order the US Marshals to stand down if the courts issue an arrest warrant Trump does not approve.
No body is coming to save us gang, we have to save each other and ourselves. Call visit email and snail mail every Republican. I will start my campaign Monday to send as much email as I can and call them all again.
pretty ironic that the people that spent their entire lives preparing for a revolution against a tyrannical government are currently supporting the tyrannical authoritarian.
My stepfather was a Navy Seal in Vietnam and he is a democrat and a fierce supporter of democracy. One of my old friends husbands was a marine and fought in Iraq, he is a democrat and a fierce supporter of democracy. I bet there are more…
The judicial branch can make rulings but they don’t enforce. Military and police tend to be the uniformed maga. Not sure we will have any support. Update your visas.
He can't dissolve organizations, but he can put them all on leave or fire them so they are effectively useless. Like having a hospital without any doctors or nurses.
Yes, the same agency that had just recently announced a rule saying medical debt couldn't be reported on your credit report. Well guess where that rule is going to go. Right into the trash bin.
They were separated at birth. Neither of them has accomplished anything. They just used their daddy’s money to buy the work of others and put their name on it.
Looks to me like he IS congress now. He’s taken over their jobs. But seriously, he doesn’t have to be in congress to have republican candidates primaried, he has money and he promised to use it against them.
There are more of us than there is of them,I was on a people power meeting and 80% Americans did not vote for Trump. We just need to unite and get a leader. Hopefully very soon.
I mean as if it matters in any case now, they have no real need for congress going forward. No one is going to stop them regardless of rulings. It's now up to the military or CIA upholding the Constitution, or the people rebelling, that's it game over.
Agree, however, there are 3 special elections coming up, if Dems can win those seats congress will be functional again. Otherwise you’re right, no need for congress going forward
Their terrified they'll be primaried out of office in 2026. Well guess what ?? THEY'RE GOING TO BE EITHER WAY.
We must all pay attention and fight like hell to VOTE IN DEMS in every state
We must win back the majority of the House. OUR LIVES DEPEND ON YOU
Can we now say that the culture war, all along, was just a distraction from the class war, and the regular folks surrendered to the oligarchs almost without a fight?
It is time to lock him up.He is not working in the capacity of helping America.As far as I am concerned,he is the Gestapo. He has come into our government as a hostile takeover Lord. Stop him now.
I blame weak biden and weak 1st black president. They could have extended the court, they could have put him in prison, impeached a few of the justices, all kinds of actions. But noooooo lets play nice with evil POS.
Musk is a threat to our systems. Musk has our personal information including medical records. Musk has competitors sensitive data. He is committing criminal acts at Trump's direction. I did not vote for Musk nor crime.
He doesn’t have authority to close departments. Only Congress does. So he is just running his mouth. Why can’t he be sued for spreading false information like that ?
The people in charge of arresting and prosecuting him are trumps people. Pam Bondi. She won’t do it so now we have no one to make him follow any laws. He has become untouchable like Trump. I am hoping states go after him but then Trump will go after the states for it.
As we are finding out, legality has very little do with any of this. Meanwhile, an unelected retained addict with government contracts and subsidies is destroying the core of many vital agencies.
You are right. Laws mean nothing at this point. It’s all about what they are doing to the government behind locked guarded doors. Collecting data , making lists , stealing money, all of it.
I keep my Titter account only to tell its advertising companies I’m not interested in seeing their ads. If everyone did this they’d stop their accounts
Because most of Trump's buddies got PPP loans. Heck, the GOP governor in my home state not only got PPP loans for his business, but those of his friends.
Yes, and thank God Donald Trump been citizen sent a plane to bring Nelson Mandela to the United States win our government wouldn’t do it, and nobody else would!
He didn’t need help getting to the US. He was struggling to charter a plane to fly around it. This was all before he became the President of South Africa
Just a business transaction which now gets spun to fool the idiots
The TRUE story would be that Mandela did a tour of several countries seeking support to continue sanctions against South Africa until such time as apartheid was dismantled
The team (of whom I personally knew two) that organised it rented a jet from trump to travel in the US. Not free or aiding him
Well, I can tell you right now you believe anything you want to believe that’s fine with me. I don’t care. I know what I know Joe Biden didn’t go to jail while visiting Nelson Mandela, which he cleaned on national television! Know what all
I don’t know I don’t remember I’m old and I’ve got a lot of history in my head spinning around, but I do know how to discern lies from truth believe that or not and I am learning to research a lot!
That isn’t remotely true. Facts are out there you know? Nor does it have anything to do with the topic. Our federal government is literally being hijacked by unvetted Hitler Youth who are stealing our data and picking the country apart for scraps and selling us all out, yet you post this?
I'm not convinced that most of what Elmo is doing was expected nor wanted by MAGAts. Much of what he's doing is going to hurt MAGAts as well as the rest of us.
It was all outlined in Project 2025 many months before the election. If they didn't know then it was because they chose not to believe it or were just deeply ignorant about the facts.
I'm in the UK and even I knew what the obvious consequences would be for the federal government if Trump won.
True that. I know many nice ppl who are trumpers. They're lifelong GOP, get "news" from Fox, are busy with kids, work, activities, etc. so are low-info voters who don't question Fox BS. My SIL is rabid trumper & loves what's happening now, believes lies are facts--no discussing stuff with him. 😖
trump was questioned about it either today or yesterday and he was flummoxed and definitely not happy. You know trump. No one is allowed to garner more attention than trump. I agree musk will probably be replaced at some point.
But after he's destroyed nearly all parts of our government and stolen data from the Treasury and other critical agencies. This he'll be able to use worldwide for his nefarious purposes.
I agree with you 100%! I don't think we're safe. I just meant that trump will find some way to make himself bigger/more important than musk. I'm scared to death. I'm newly retired with medicare and soc sec and have no idea what I'd do without those.
BTW, it's always uncomfortable "Liking" comments like yours. I click the Like icon just to let you know "I agree" or "I am sad about that" or some other acknowledgement. I wish they had icons like Facebook has to respond to a post/comment.
I retired in 2019. Like you, I'm scared to death. My anxiety levels are over the top, so I started taking my blood pressure today and WOW! 177/90! This is seriously bad, so I need to back way off from news--even Bluesky so limiting how much time I read posts here.
Is this why 78 million Americans voted for Trump? The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau has apparently made their lives complicated and miserable. Just let the billionaires ax it, and our lives will improve. About what you'd expect from rubes who have been so easily conned by Trump.
I have decreed I will let corporations run rough shot over you, charge exorbitant fees, offer no refunds and put profit above all else in the name of the oligarchy
Some of you will go bankrupt but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.
And if you bought one before this bs, put a for sale sign in the window and put tape/stickers over the logo. Mostly for your safety, it’s dangerous driving in Boston.
I hate that though. We knew he was nuts a few years ago but few expected he would go full on Nazi authoritarian. Plenty of my friends have them and are putting bumper stickers on them as they can’t dump them as prices have cratered
It’s a shitty situation for sure. I’m the granniest driver and that pisses off more drivers than the teslas do!
But I’m dying to see a Tesla with a trans flag sticker over the logos.🏳️⚧️
Deference given 2privileged ppl is acceptance of lawlessness & criminality.Why isn't there a law enforcement solution 2these illegal acts?Who knew tht all sme ppl hve 2do is ignore the Law & it goes away?! If lawlessness trickles down 2everyday ppl anarchy will end the American experiment. ⚖️🤨
"The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is an independent agency of the United States government responsible for consumer protection in the financial sector." They planned this well in advance. What I don't get is why isn't anyone stopping this?
Where are the lawsuits against this latest power grab? We need to fight every time another department that benefits the public is threatened with shut down.
There are tons of lawsuits but the courts take time and trump knows this. Plus they will slow it down with stupid continuances. So much damage can happen before it’s actually litigated. Or they’ll get trump judges who just throw it out and side with trump. It’s a nightmare.
I agree with you. And, just like they are flooding us with EOs and Muskrats we need to flood them with protests, lawsuits & civil disruptions.
-Protests like flash mobs.
-Bring back the sit-ins
-Overwhelm the phones of congress (D and R)
-Learn from the ‘60s protests
-record and stream everything
Agree. It’s all we’ve got. Have you heard of the nationwide strike they’re trying to put together? I feel it’s a pipe dream becuz this country has far too many people who won’t take the risk not showing up to work & missing pay. In Europe ie France it always works. But they are unified.
The fear is real. They have been playing the long game. I’m in Florida and all of the restrictions after BLM, I’m not even sure what protections peaceful protesters have anymore. Desatan has his own personal military. I’m solely supporting a family of four (1 in college.) I can’t risk lost pay.
This is no longer the time for lawsuits, but for mass civil disobedience.
People need to refuse to carry out these illegal orders -- whether those people are high or low in the chain of command/ chain of authority.
Otherwise, the coup will simply be over and done before the lawsuits are half over.
Imo, the WH occupant is a facade, yet willing participant. The rat is also a facade with his puppet strings pulled by moscow, and middle east. By accounts I've read the rat ain't all that smart as he usurps innovations none of which he's responsible for
The rat is strictly a puppet, the front man for the people who need to hear someone speak for them. By "people" I mean those that voted and will go down fighting for him. The rest of us see him for what he is and see/know there is much more going on in the background
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was authorized by Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in 2010 as a legislative response to the financial crisis of 2007–08 and the subsequent recession. It is an independent bureau within the Federal Reserve. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_Financial_Protection_Bureau
So let me get this right. The US is allowing an unelected, neurodivergent, nazi saluting, non-US citizen, with close ties to Putin and China, into the heart of Government along with a team of hackers who have no authority or security clearance. Did I miss anything?
Just keep piling on the hate for this guy. He is similar to trump. They're both little bois that crave love and attention, don't give it. Smack the god damned cookie out of their hands.
That is clearly their intention. They are wanting to make this a MAGA nation. No room or tolerance for anyone else. Good luck with that and it would serve them all well to look at how it ends historically for tyrants.
WE Must ask ElonNaziMusk is using his twitx to let Putin & chi know what he is doing to dismantle our US Constitutional Republic Democracy & Rule of Law, for their Tyranny to weaken America as we know it. It's War America! GOP are on the side of Murderous Dictators &Racist Fascist Blasphemous POS'S
Dems should be demanding answers from the Republican majority house as to why they are willingly cedeing their power to the executive. Put this on them. They know much of Trumps actions are unpopular (or soon will be when grandma doesn't get here SS check).
Don't understand how conservatives r comfortable with the way he's going abount this? U'd think even they would be suspicious of the lack of receipts, but then like Trump they only care about data points that work for them, not what's true, and they like the current narrative even if its bullshit...
So was firing Chopra the previous head of the CFPB who is supposed to serve for 5 years unless found guilty of violating laws or ethics. The intent is to have a non-political CFPB, but the dastardly Trump regime & his putridly partisan, boot-licking lackeys & mindless MAGAt cult members don’t care.
Its quite stunning, isn't it, when you see the lack of power general society has when one corrupt party takes hold of the White House, the Congress and the SCOTUS.
Proof that elections DO have consequences.
Because he neutered the entire judicial system, congress and federal law enforcement with putting loyalists in positions of power.
US Democracy is dead.
Destroying CFPB is a license to lenders to rape everyone, republicans, democrats and the 36% don't give a shitters. This is a blueprint for depression.
The same people against affordable healthcare, clean water and air, and safe plane travel. (GOP / Russia / the deregulation lobby / the transnational organized crime syndicate / Putin-Thiel-Musk-Saudis)
Because he's the one who wants to defraud people with no oversight. Because there's a Morin in the oval office who was bought and paid for, which has never understood government isn't a business, is a SERVICE for the good of the people. Take your pick.
The most disgusting thing is howvMusk enjoys shoving his lawless behavior in our faces. This guy needs to be put under cutizebs arrest. Creepy thin skinned junkie.
Since when did fascists care what is and what isn't legal? They have the power to impose their will until someone steps up and stops them. Who is going to stop them and escort them out of the building in handcuffs? We need that or legal is just smoke.
Spoke with a postal worker and multiple neighbors today about Musk's lawlessness. Bragging he killed the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau — as with the rest of his destruction of the organs of government — isn't winning him friends; it's gaining him exponentially more enemies.
The Courts might uphold these agencies legitimacy, but the Courts have no enforcement entities available...Musk & Trump will laugh at any Court Orders (as well they should)...I say we start gunning the fuck up...
What is the role of the CFPB?
We protect consumers from unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices and take action against companies that break the law. We arm people with the information, steps, and tools that they need to make smart financial decisions.
He's proud of it to. He was born in South Africa. He only obtained US citizenship through his mother and also holds Canadian citizenship. He needs to get out of our country's affairs. I'm sick of these bored little rich boys with NO KNOWLEDGE wanting to play government. Go back to your ugly cars.
Frances had centuries of working-class solidarity though. We had it once for a while then it evaporated. Justice is going to be hard to find until we get some working-class solidarity back.
Just remember friends, guillotines get stuck if you use them too often without cleaning the gunk out of them. Make sure you have a proper guillotine-to-billionaire ratio! (for legality sake I have to disclaimer the last sentence as a joke, but how it's interpreted by others is beyond my control)
its 1934 now. They are literally going to go to the Supreme Court to reverse the 1964 NYT case that allows you to criticize the government and will make it possible for Trump to sue you for millions in defamation if you make a bad comment about him. we are fucked. so yeah. bring on the France energy
What triggers a Military response to deny the enemies within from destroying your country in such a lawless manner?
Jenga blocks teetering...
Time sensitivity has to be a major factor with it all.
No one even knows the status of your Data; that is, those who should know!!!
Ultimately though, this isn’t a winning message from Dems. A quick, succinct explanation of the impact of the spending/program coupled with a reference to the GOP approving the budget for the last 2 years is a better message. 1/2

They're daring someone, ANYONE, to stop them. They do not believe they can be stopped.
7.4.26. this is their end date and not just for DOGE but for democracy as we know it.
We'll be minding our Black business on this one.
It's time for YOU guys to figure it out 🤨💅🏾
We ALWAYS have been!
FOH, you entitled POS!
Time to arrest, jail, deport Musky.
Lawsuits are too passive.
Direct action is called for.
It's their job to act on behalf of Americans getting screwed.
That's what they were hired to do for Christ's sake!
He lied to the Immigration Department / ICE which calls for revocation of his citizenship.
It's the same thing as if he hid a domestic violence PPO from Immigration officials before being granted U.S. citizenship. Fraud.
Felon cannot be trusted.
He would send his wife down the River of No Return if there was a deal in it for him.
With what army?
Any actions will be outside the ‘law’…
Not against it
Just sayin
Where’s our Reacher, Shooter, Jason Bourne types ?
Get rid of him. Fast.
He already controls the money and holds the personal data on American citizens.
Trump is his useful idiot. He plays with the toys that Musk isn't interested in.
Here's the leader
First thoughts I had earlier were of Felon ⁴⁷ in a sand pit, being diaper trained with bucket and spade building his Gaza sand castles. Mar-a-largo Montessori and Donnie Day-care.
Meanwhile back in the real world, the sneaky shits with money... 😱 💥
We have to televise it too.
If the Dems had listened to what people were concerned about then America would not be ending now. Take responsibility
Action is necessary.
They are breaking our laws and must be arrested.
And due it Everyday every hour
Like a Public Service Announcement
And the republicans who have spines. Wait- Are there any?
They’re starting, let’s push them. ❤️
Right & wrong continue to be immutable principles that do not shift, and Law is not an arbiter of morality.
It was under Henry II that the stone London Bridge started to be built. That one lasted until the early 1800s. Charles Dickens was around when it was still in use. I think construction began in the 1180s?
(202) 224-3121
Let's get busy! ;)
Who is gonna stop them? Judge says stop they say “roflcopter” because they want to sound cool and keep going. Trump says I PARDON THEE and the cycle repeats
They need to transfer “Space Force” back to the Air Force next.
Not cheering them on in the least. Just stating the facts as they are. 🫤

Service members, students, everyday folks,
The CFPB shields them from financial hoaxes.
$21 billion back to you and me.
No wonder Musk wants it RIP.
The only thing you have done is given us reason to make everything better than what it was before you came.
Elon can pay his own way!
Slash his funding!
He's the type of person who tries way too hard to fit in and be liked, and people just laugh at him.

I'm also cause many people are saying many big adult people starting to really think he's a Groomer 100%

If too much is done they're going to kill a bunch of civilians and blame it on civil disobedience and who's going to do anything about it
It's condenses the 900pg document that Putin had his hands on. Trump is following it to the T including the privatization of a quality education a sub class of public education this is centered around the Bible.
Do a BLM thing, flood the streets in protests and bring America to a stand still.
Then defund by cancelling all his government contracts
Put them in prison this time without trial and throw the keys away
Or deport Musk back to SA
Action and talking go hand in hand
😂
But this administration doesn’t care about what is legal or illegal. They consider themselves above the law because they are here to abolish the law.
They even have their minions on TruthSocial, talking about crap like this:
(I know I shouldn't make light, but this is just where my brain has always gone every time I see that acronym.)
It’s the best way to get rid of Musk! Trump will get rid off him quick!

Anyway all these "slashes" are ways to cover up tracts to money streams they have had or will gain. Recently the USAID was investigating musk for his misuse of funds received for starlink coverage for Ukraine. There will be no spending saved.
They want to be elected, and the people who elected them want other people to suffer. THAT is the only motivating force behind them.
He’s flying way too close to the sun. The wax will melt and he’ll fall hard.
What is the endgame here??? Honestly can someone ask??
Basically we’re all in an abusive relationship and we need a breakup and a restraining order stat.
We should keep trying, of course, but our systems are useless to stop this.
We already know she will order the US Marshals to stand down if the courts issue an arrest warrant Trump does not approve.
This is what a coup is.
pretty ironic that the people that spent their entire lives preparing for a revolution against a tyrannical government are currently supporting the tyrannical authoritarian.

Chosen because its "subjects" stroke its Ego.
Too stupid to see what they really are planning for it once its value diminishes.
So in their war on wasteful spending, #DOGE have gone after USAID at 0.6% of the budget and CFPB which is 0.011% of the budget
This is obviously not about spending but political retribution on behalf of Russia and #crypto
Just a business transaction which now gets spun to fool the idiots
The team (of whom I personally knew two) that organised it rented a jet from trump to travel in the US. Not free or aiding him
That is totally a figment of someone’s imagination
No soup for you ❌🧑🍳

I'm in the UK and even I knew what the obvious consequences would be for the federal government if Trump won.

Trump stole the election. It's been proved.

I have decreed I will let corporations run rough shot over you, charge exorbitant fees, offer no refunds and put profit above all else in the name of the oligarchy
Some of you will go bankrupt but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.
Toodles
Elon
But I’m dying to see a Tesla with a trans flag sticker over the logos.🏳️⚧️
It’s a joke to him. Just funsies.
He’s literally laughing like this is a big joke.
I don’t honestly understand. This isn’t even hate it’s just sick sociopathy/psychopathy.
He has everyone in maga bullshitted into thinking he is a genius
Go back to Africa if they will allow you in, live off daddies gem stones again.
-Protests like flash mobs.
-Bring back the sit-ins
-Overwhelm the phones of congress (D and R)
-Learn from the ‘60s protests
-record and stream everything
People need to refuse to carry out these illegal orders -- whether those people are high or low in the chain of command/ chain of authority.
Otherwise, the coup will simply be over and done before the lawsuits are half over.
The time to save ourselves was 2016.
It was the SCOTUS, stupids.
How's that "Clinton and Trump are exactly the same" working out for you now, purists?
When does the second civil war start?
Proof that elections DO have consequences.
US Democracy is dead.

Drop Dead.

But have yet to see anybody do anything about it.
TICK FUCKING TOCK
Reminder: SCOTUS said so.
They DID rig it so Elonia could get more through his rocket business without delays.
Both $$$ hungry traitors.

We protect consumers from unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices and take action against companies that break the law. We arm people with the information, steps, and tools that they need to make smart financial decisions.
OF COURSE the NAZI Musk GOP got rid of this!
Swim in the acid baths of Hades
The big impact is how immediately scared the rich and powerful got. The spectacle of his perp walk alone validates how big that fear is.
Before Fox News dropped their talking points, there was also brief bipartisan unity between R and D folks.

We are taught this from grade school that we should be smug and superior bc OUR govt is fair….
Are they biding their time, waiting for the right moment to strike?
Which is what we need to do.
And yeah all the other stuff too. ❤️
