Regardless of how much coverage it gets, Trump aiming to install a military command that places loyalty to him above loyalty to the constitution needs to be a much bigger story.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Trump touts the “fairness” of his reciprocal tariff plan, but in reality the tax will hit low-income households the hardest and cost the average American household around $2,000.

“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. I’m sure he’ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.” ~ @michaeldweiss.bsky.social

The idea that Ukraine is going to hold an election when the country is an active war zone and 20 percent of it is under foreign occupation is beyond ludicrous

Trump & Musk claim they’re cutting waste, but their priorities tell a different story Jobs or money cut from feeding starving kids, fighting bird flu & protecting the nuclear arsenal—while Trump pushes for TWO new Air Force Ones when what we have now is just fine Fake populism at its finest

If Trump wants to see elections in Ukraine, all he has to do is use the power he keeps talking about to get the Russian invaders off Ukrainian soil. Then martial law in Ukraine ends, and elections will follow.

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

“Congress wants to cut government but not their own budgets. Elon Musk's 'Dept. of Government Efficiency' wants to slash spending—except on his own gov-funded ventures. If they’re serious about cuts, they should start with their own staff and perks. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/elon-musks...

Donald Trump has reportedly spent an estimated $10.7 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration. This is happening as Head Start programs have struggled to access previously approved federal funding due to the Trump admin's illegal impoundment. Hello?

Congress writes the laws. Courts interpret the laws. Executive enforces/enacts the laws. Shout it from the rooftops. This is how OUR government works. Executive Orders ARE NOT LAWS.

Trump wants Congress to pass the House GOP's version of a budget reconciliation bill that includes massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP to pay for tax cuts for the rich. The House is on recess, so now would be a great time to call your rep and share your thoughts. (202) 224-3121

@raskin.house.gov: "The most glaring conflict of interest of all is that Elon is a government contractor himself, who collects billions of dollars from the US government... And like all authoritarian and fascist movements around the world in history, corruption is at the heart of it."

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

First the Super Bowl. Now the Daytona 500. He's not a real president -- he just plays one on TV. And it's costing the American people TENS OF MILLIONS in extra, unnecessary, wasteful spending. Maybe THAT is what "DOGE" should be cutting?

Firing probationary employees is senseless. Probationaries are: -New to their position -Make lower salaries -Recruited to bring in new talent -Far LESS likely to be dogmatic They're being fired because they have fewer protections. Not because this will improve government efficiency or cut costs.

There’s an immigrant taking people’s jobs… his name is Elon Musk. He’s snatching farms, government jobs (even those in which they manage our national security), and definitely those whose jobs are to root out fraud (inspector generals),

Donald Trump fired the people who make sure you and your parents get the health care you need. The people who make sure medical devices are safe for you to use. The people who approve the lifesaving drugs you rely on. How does this help working people?

The sad fact is this lawless pronouncement by Trump is damn-near a quote from the democracy-busting presidential immunity ruling from a compromised Sup Ct. This is PRECISELY why Justice Sotomayor (joined by Justices Kagan & Ketanji Brown Jackson) said, “With fear for our democracy, I dissent.”

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes. The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen
