So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

“Obama thinks he’s king!” was a pretty powerful rallying cry in the Tea Party revolts of 2009-2010 and that was, you know, WITHOUT HIS WHITE HOUSE LITERALLY DEPICTING HIM AS A KING

“Elon Musk’s 28 False Claims Get 825.2 Million Views. From $50 million taxpayer dollars for condoms in Gaza to a 40% pay increase for Congress, Musk is correct that some of his claims are ‘incorrect’”

@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."

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up took $80 million from an NYC bank account!

With both RFK Jr and Gabbard confirmed, two people who rose to prominence spreading conspiracy theories about public health and national intelligence will now run the U.S. government agencies in charge of those areas. For someone studying these conspiracy theories for a decade... this is nauseating.

Every single time news media like @nytimes.com writes “Musk’s cost-cutting effort” or “cost-cutting team” they participate in shoring up a deadly lie. None of this is or has every been about cost cutting and it never will be.

I find this so ugly and pernicious. These two aren't pursuing principled, independent scholarship. They're racing to build intellectual scaffolding for Trump's lawless order by skimming the history books and cherry-picking quotes out of context. The most intellectually bankrupt form of originalism.

Elon Musk, encouraged by his mother and an army of his cultish fans, is threatening tonight to sue a Washington Post journalist for pointing out on live TV that neo-Nazis welcomed his salute on Inauguration Day. Can we finally put the ‘he’s a free speech absolutist!’ BS to bed?
