Trump was thrilled to announce tonight that he has terminated America’s most senior military officer — Gen. C.Q. Brown, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Trump failed to provide a reason as to why he abruptly fired Brown from his position. It is, in fact, the first time that the…

Don’t get it twisted - Musk sees YOU as the Waste, Fraud, and Abuse when it comes to government spending! For Musk - government spending should only benefit Him, and the wealthy and well connected. They aren’t Tesla ports so they have to go. This is garbage. Tell your reps this is illegal.

Did you know that 72 MILLION Americans rely on Medicaid for healthcare? The Trump Administration and MAGA Republicans in Congress want to take it away to give tax breaks to billionaires. Don't let them take away our healthcare. Let them know you didn’t vote for this shit.

People across the country are raising their voices to tell Congress a very simple message: Don’t cut my Medicaid! Medicaid is a lifesaver for millions of Floridians and you have my word that as your congressman I will fight to protect it day-in and day-out.

"Hochul is dithering about whether to use her powers. AOC, in contrast, exercised her 1st Amendment rights to inform her constituents about their 4th Amendment rights. In doing so, she showed that the administration is tyrannical. She also showed that it’s weak — if you’re willing to confront it."

1. Don’t buy into the messaging frame of “saving tax dollars”. Every cut or “savings” is used to pay for a tax cut for the wealthy and well-connected. 2. Musk decided that the American people’s lives are the “waste” in government giveaways to billionaires.

This is insane. Now Trump wants to seize the Postal Service, dismantle its independence, and throw mail delivery into chaos. This isn’t reform—it’s an incompetent, reckless power grab. We will use every tool at our disposal to fight back.

Trump's reaction to this is of course that it doesn't matter because he intends to rule as king until he dies and doesn't care what happens after that. Also big oil gives him money and he likes that.

Let me be clear - everything will continue to get more expensive the more we delay. And the reason why the Trump/Musk admin is delaying is because they want every last dollar they can get over to the oil Industry. bsky.app/profile/keit...

As the IRS fires 6,000 employees at the direction of the Trump administration (and in the middle of tax season), this is a blatant attack on the agency holding ultra-wealthy tax dodgers accountable and another sign that the billionaire class will go to any length to avoid paying their fair share.
