What could Muskrat possibly need at this point?
Looks like Trump took too much in campaign contributions from Musk without realizing how lousy the payback would be. 😂
They won't. Stop relying on these people. The ones who are not just as corrupt and complicit are attempting to simply ride this out. They do not understand the gravity of the moment. The don't care about you. Neither Congress nor the courts will save you from any of this. Network. Organize. Prepare.
Hey now, they will have some very indignant speeches from Monday evening - Thursday afternoon before cutting a deal to make sure they get another long weekend.
This spawn of White Nationalist Apartheid Confederates needs to be made into an example for future PayPal Mafia thugs & their Philospher to never mess with our polity.
Too bad that Schumer & his old Dem Guard are too senile to do it since they can't see the writing on the wall to #PasstheDamnTorch to the next generation of Dems who actually care about the country
You can only filibuster legislation after Senate Majority Leader Thune(R) brings it to the floor. Notice that the writer does not include the SB# for specific legislation funding Musk. Without that SB#, the legislation is purely hypothetical.
The Dems SHOULD filibuster any legislation funding Musk. But until Thune brings it to the floor, the writer is essentially calling for Michael Scott to shout "I declare filibuster!" in the Senate.
And what are you doing? Talk talk talk, I dont see anyone taking action?
Where are the protests? Where are the molotovs? the Hunger strikers? The burn Teslas? At least make a Elon strawman and set it on fire.
You can stop with the fanfiction now. The democrats ain’t gonna do shit, they’re just as complicit in the rise of fascism by constantly shutting down socialist/communist ideas.
I am so disappointed in @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
@housedemocrats.bsky.social
Stop with the modern day Vichy regime. It's time to fight for democracy. There is no Kumbaya. Block all their initiatives. Have a strong media face- plead with @petebuttigieg.bsky.social to organize. DO SOMETHING
I have asked my Senators and Congressman multiple times if they will not vote for the March 14 budget if there is funding for SpaceX or any other Musk-owned business. I haven't heard a word from them! @warren.senate.gov @edmarkey.bsky.social @sethmoulton.bsky.social
“I’m calling for a complete shutdown of Elon Musk contracts with the government until we can figure out what the hell is going on.”
- Some Democrat congressperson with balls (I hope).
Democrats are a minority party now. IDK how they're going to be allowed to block anything the MAGA party is "undertaking." Reason has escaped the opposition.
Abraham Lincoln said that when political /legal avenues for redress fail, next is the people's undeniable revolutionary right to replace government. Guillotines are easily built and function well. #MoreLuigis and #MoreOswalds are part of the post-political process.
They should absolutely do everything they can but what if trump just writes executive orders for whatever contracts musk wants and just take the money out of the treasury with their backdoor and keep ignoring congress and the courts. Write a pardon or two if it gets that far.
While Democrats are making life more difficult for Elon Musk, please don’t forget the guy that hired him. I wake up every morning hoping that this is all a very bad dream. RETURN DECENCY AND COMPASSION TO THE WHITE HOUSE — BOOT THE DONALD.
Four Republican Senators need to change their party to Democrat now. This would be their opportunity to save the country, democracy and their honor. Looking at you @lisamurkowski.bsky.social , McConnell, Collins, @chuckgrassley.bsky.social
This is his third insurrection; you’d think that we would have learned by now that he would hack the election. How can these democrats ignore the evidence?
Either Trump will be removed swiftly, or we already lost the war to Russia, Iran, and China
The 1/4 of all Americans who are brainwashed by Trump, will be excited to hear that now that we lost the war to Russia, they can worship him too, like they worship Trump, their golden calf
It’s been a very slow, quiet, bloodless coup, that took eight years; and if we thought we were blindsided in 2016, wait until Europe is blindsided in 2025
SpaceX is already poking around the FAA "upgrading." No Senate vote required. I don't think they're relevant under the dictator. They need to first reclaim those powers.
You can't filibuster legislation that John Thune (R) hasn't introduced. Notice that the writer doesn't provide the SB # for any legislation granting Musk money. If the legislation existed, he would provide the SB #.
John Thune is the Senate Majority Leader. The Senate Majority Leader has absolute control over what legislation gets brought to the floor. If he doesn't want it introduced, it's dead.
Now, the Dems SHOULD filibuster any legislation to give Musk money. But until Thune brings that legislation, the writer is essentially telling the Senate Dems to pull a Michael Scott and shout "I declare filibuster!" on the Senate floor.
Assuming in 4 years a democrat wins the office, whoever this new president is needs to end all of Elon’s government contracts. We will see then if Elon Cuck is still doing the Nazi salute.
Musk’s companies have (had?) north of 60 federal investigations against them before the election. It wasn’t a problem then and it certainly isn’t now that he has exfiltrated as much data as possible from fed systems. You just look silly pretending at this point
The article makes no mention of reconciliation. Republicans in the Senate can just fold all the Musk company contracts into the reconciliation bill to get around the filibuster.
My democrat senators have both called for bipartisanship and said we might be approaching a constitutional crisis. Dems have had years to prep and the plan is apparently, by and large, rollover. We have the government we deserve.
The Democratic Party (esp leadership) are servants of the donor class. They don't GAF about us.
I can assure everyone reading, the Dems haven't done this because Dem donors don't like the idea. Their donors work with Musk's companies & they don't want any more disruption!
We need to burn it down
For starters, we could all make sure we have removed ourselves from every one of their newsletters/fundraising email or texting lists. Seriously. If we did this in numbers, they would notice.
Am I reading this correctly? Do you want to defund the Dems? The Republicans are the ones doing this. Do you cut funding to the only ones that can help? I really wish liberals would stop fighting with one another. This is why we lose elections in the first place.
It's not so much we want to defund the party, as we need to send a message that they need to stop serving the donor class & start serving the working class
There is something to letting our brothers and sisters in red state’s experience what they voted for so we have a larger majority rising up to stand back when they realize Trump has no interest in bettering there lives
But someone else might just step in to replace him. Asking the right questions is key to stopping their authoritarian agenda. How will they maintain power? What are their weak points? How do we wake up undecided voters? How will Big Tech & AI be used? Will the military follow? #WhoControlsTrump
Everyone should be asking @schumer.senate.gov but you'll need to wait until he mosies on into the office since he doesn't allow you to leave a voicemail. Quite the strategy to give your constituents, and the American people at large, 1950s-level communication options. Anyone know morse code?
Their complete incompetence is why they lost and will continue to lose. Why did Ruth Bader Biden create such a terrible standard of when to pass the torch…

You need to get tough!
We don’t have to exclusively rely on them, but it’d be stupid to not work to elevate, support and encourage the ones who are fighting this.

...I mean finding common ground to help the American people! Yeah, that's it.
"I bought this before I knew Elon was nuts!"
They'll do NOTHING.

Senate Democrats would rather have a nice nap.
Stop buying his internet (starlink)
Stop buying his stock
Stop using X
Claiming this would "breathe life into the Democratic Party"
"pushing for a legislative attack on Musk’s wealth such a powerful opportunity "
This is disgusting
There is no corruption or injustice here - just a call to attack a private citizen for political gain.
Either Trump will be removed swiftly, or we already lost the war to Russia, Iran, and China
It does help me!
Here's some safety tips!

They do.
Wether or not they use that power is anyone's guess. Bunch of kicked dogs bite harder
IT'S A COUP!!!
It seemed weird the article avoided mentioning that.

Fuck you if you don’t do this.
I dunno that sounds like a pretty ambitious outcome, maybe dream a little smaller
More extreme measures must be taken to ensure that no billionaires ever feel entitled to this level of control again.

He's after a crown 👑.
Not just the US, he wants to be the 1st world ruler.
They suck so bad. It's like they went, "Oh, well, trump won, so we better just let them do their thing" and went to take a nap.
No.
