This military purge is about Trump installing loyalists in every senior role, just as he filled his cabinet with sycophants and enablers willing to carry out his dangerous and illegal orders. This won’t end well for our country.

Elon Musk is not cutting government waste. The real plan is to destroy American democracy and replace it with a Right-wing autocracy. The reason the past month has felt like a hostile takeover of democracy is because that's what it is. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_...

Fellow veterans and anyone with a veteran in your life. Yesterday was the time to start paying attention to #Project2025 and the plans it has for our healthcare. I encourage you to read this and realize everything is on the chopping block. www.military.com/daily-news/o...

This is true and we really need to understand why. I'd like to see focus groups on this.

Musk, the memo warns, is moving rapidly to take control of the apparatus of US Government power on behalf of a core network of interests who subscribe to Yarvin’s ‘ Dark Enlightenment’ ideology.

The IRS fired 6,700 probationary employees, including over 5,000 auditors and collection staff, mainly due to concerns about government efficiency. This move comes after Republicans opposed a funding boost for the IRS that was meant to increase audits on the wealthy.

It has yet to be seen if Trump, Musk and their allies will obey court orders, but defiance would be unprecedented: Open presidential defiance of court orders has not been seen since 1865.

‼️$880 Billion. ‼️ That's how much Republicans want to cut from Medicaid to fund tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy. Economically vulnerable families will feel the brunt of these cuts while the highest earners benefit significantly. www.epi.org/blog/the-hou...

Wyden: "Nobody should lose sight of what happened this morning. Trump endorsed the House budget resolution. This resolution mandates that $880b in cuts come from the House Energy & Commerce Committee ... there is no plausible way to hit that target without hundreds of billions in cuts to Medicaid."

I have long believed that not enough has been written about how GOP members have felt physically intimidated by Trump supporters. It doesn’t excuse their cowardice, but it still deserves more attention.

I imagine there is fear of retaliation by the Trump administration. But if even our most respected leaders can’t speak up because of that fear, then autocracy has already arrived. open.substack.com/pub/davidpep...

Folks, I can’t stress this enough: Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit!

Dear third-party voters, you’ve been awfully quiet. What’s up? What’s the game plan for the next 3 years and 11 months? Asking for 75,017,626 friends who did the right thing because we wanted to avoid all of this shit!!!

America --This is an Alarm Call to Wake up!

Vanity Fair: In private, Republicans talk about their fear that Trump might incite his MAGA followers to commit political violence against them if they don’t rubber-stamp his actions “They’re scared shitless about death threats and Gestapo-like stuff,”a fmr member of Trump’s 1st administration said

THIS is how you communicate. Say it plain.

🚨🚨🚨#ArrestElon #Nazi Hello DOD? I don't understand why he's allowed such access blows my mind-like we're just giving Putin easier than he ever could have dreamed of. & there's a #Nazi breaking the laws tearing our gov't to shreds & why the hell are we not stopping him?¡ substack.com/@jimstewarts...

Is Musk demanding the data held by the Social Security Administration in order to make it more efficient? Unlikely. Here's a better explanation: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”

Can anyone even think of a legitimate reason for him to get this? Can anyone even proffer an argument that it won't lead to grave abuses and violations of privacy? wapo.st/3QizwcN

Hitler shut down Germany in 53 days. Musk and Trump are at 29. Where are our elected officials? Where the hell are our Armed Forces who took an oath to defend our Democracy? Is this how the U.S. ends?

This is what every American deserves to know right f*cking NOW!

I wonder if anyone will stop Musk and Trump. I cannot believe Americans will simply stand by and let our Democracy fall.
