This made me so angry I have to not actually say what it made me think.

If you don’t think we’re in a constitutional crisis— I can’t help you— but if you do and you think governors should just politely sit after the president berates a governor and proclaims he is federal law. Man, I don’t know.

In Roswell, Georgia, an overflow crowd packed into a town hall forum for GOP Rep. Rich McCormick, barraging him with pointed questions about DOGE. One accused McCormick of 'doing us a disservice' for supporting DOGE. This is a district Trump just carried by 22 points. www.ajc.com/politics/mcc...

Governor Mills doesn’t suffer fools lightly, and it appears she has even less tolerance for bullies. (And as a former attorney general, she knows what she’s talking about.)

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

At 4 a.m. our Republican colleagues voted against Warren/Kelly/King amendments that would have stopped further tax cuts for people making over $10 million; then $100 million; and then $500 million. No it isn’t a dream. 😴 They just did it.

Turns out Musk and DOGE are wildly unpopular. Even Republicans are concerned that this unelected, foreign billionaire has too much influence on the White House. reut.rs/41t8XYQ

Always a head-scratcher when someone says they think Trump has any “business acumen”… And to use that as a basis to vote him into office a second time is like sticking your finger into the socket…a second time.

We cannot confuse our allies for our adversaries. We must be clear-eyed about this. We must stand with the people of Ukraine against the barbarism of Vladimir Putin.

“At present, every hacker in the world knows there are a small number of people new to federal service who hold the keys to access all US government payments, contracts, civil servant personal info, and more ... DOGE is one romance scam away from a national security emergency.”

This is, in no uncertain terms, a rout. The New York Times published an unfortunate op-ed trying to legally justify Trump administration's #Birthright citizenship order. Here, five leading scholars show, with analytic precision, how that op-ed was "fundamentally flawed and irresponsible."⬇️

On Tuesday, Senate Democrats will investigate the Trump-Musk attack on American consumers. I'm inviting Elon Musk. He owes the American people answers on why he’s trying to shut down the financial cop on the beat that prevents big corporations from cheating Americans.

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Understand USDA is now fast tracking to rehire front line employees working on bird flu outbreaks. They were “accidentally” fired by the administration. Translation: Nice job Musk! You and your friends will still get your tax breaks, but higher egg prices for everyone else.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are messing with your Medicare benefits. Democrats passed a law to finally let Medicare negotiate with Big Pharma for lower prices. Now Trump and Musk laid off the negotiators. That means higher drug costs for you. Nothing efficient about that.

Elon is unpopular. Billionaire oligarchs are unpopular. Letting tech bros have all your gov't data is unpopular. Slashing cancer research is unpopular. Laying off veterans is unpopular. Cutting the FAA is unpopular. Dismantling nat' parks is unpopular. Seems like a good time to take a stand.

Exhibit #5,000,000 that none of this has anything to do with efficiency. It's just incredibly basic white Christofascism. Anti-science, anti-life. Profoundly sadistic. The people who claim they are going to protect your money would spend any amount of money to cause you even a little more pain.

New: At least 8 lawsuits are trying to block DOGE from accessing sensitive govt data, from tax returns to student-loan records. All of them rely in part on the Privacy Act of 1974. But what is this law — and can it stop Elon Musk? My @wired.com story: www.wired.com/story/privac...

He's not just hearing about it. He's lying. He always says this, but it doesn't work when you're the POTUS. He's apparently forgotten that the POTUS isn't supposed to be unaware of major actions being taken in his name. However you view his claim -- a lie, the truth, or confusion -- it's damning.

Donald Trump is selling out our seniors to Elon Musk. He is handing over control to sensitive Social Security information to an UNELECTED billionaire. Is Trump too weak to tell Musk no? Is he using Musk to cut Social Security so he doesn't have to take the blame? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...

What would Republicans say if a wealthy Democratic donor came in and started cutting cancer research and mucking around in people's data? They certainly wouldn’t call it a “coup” if the courts enforced the law and stopped it. They know better.

Elon Musk fired a disabled Veteran with 3 tours of duty from his job serving other Veterans at the VA. Elon’s companies get billions from defense contracts. He’s happy to profit off our servicemembers - but when he can no longer make money off them, he kicks them to the curb.
