🇩🇪🇺🇸 The interference in the German elections by Elon Musk and Washington was "no less radical and outrageous than that of Moscow," — Merz.

I present to you the next deputy director of the FBI!

A heartfelt thank you to former Senators Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema for repeatedly blocking popular policies to preserve “norms” and protect “the rights of the minority” We couldn’t have gotten here without you

Tonight we proposed an amendment to ensure that the Republican budget doesn’t raise prescription drug costs for seniors on Medicare. And guess what? Republicans blocked it — just like they opposed us when we gave Medicare the power to lower drug prices.

It’s not a “savings” if you’re getting fewer services in exchange. I’m still paying the same taxes!

Congrats, America. We're now on Putin's side.

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

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.

Trump officials are reportedly pushing Romania to let Andrew Tate and his brother leave the country, amid human trafficking and sex crime cases. www.ft.com/content/3f95...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

If you’re not confirmed by the Senate then you have no business meddling in the lives of MILLIONS of Americans We are suing DOGE for violating the constitution & illegally seizing power I’ll discuss tonight @ 8PM ET on @insidewithpsaki.msnbc.com 👇 statedemocracydefenders.org/fund/new-law...

Just a reminder that Nazi Nerd Elon Musk long has been and still remains a proponent of the Great Replacement Theory that motivated white supremacist massacres in Pittsburgh (2018), El Paso (2019) and Buffalo (2022). www.newsweek.com/great-replac...

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

Area free speech absolutist says journalists he doesnt like should face a “long prison sentence”

Money talks

Today Hakeem Jeffries was asked on ABC what MOST concerns him most about 4 weeks of Trump? His answer: Prices are too high and Trump not addressing it. This is clearly focus group/consultant drafted BS. It's why we are having problems fighting back. We need VISCERAL! www.mediaite.com/tv/jon-karl-...

These are Fort Campbell-based 101st Airborne Division soldiers escorting the Little Rock Nine in 1957. Fort Campbell is erasing *its own* history.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Since leaving the South, my hillbilly roots grew stronger. Can't stand when people who've never lived there start their holier-than-thou bullshit. Y'all wouldn't last a day. Are voters disenfranchised, are people racist & homophobic? Yes, but that shit don't end at blue state borders.

Of course the Democrats will be going to Houston to find and interview voters who were laid off , to ask them what their expectations of the new administration were and how they feel they are doing at the moment. And posting here and everywhere. Right ?

Madness, insanity. www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/...

MCCONNELL: “.. I'm a survivor of childhood polio. In my lifetime, I've watched vaccines save millions of lives from devastating diseases across America and around the world. I will not condone the re-litigation of proven cures.” www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politic...

A billionaire who has attached himself to the federal government while sucking massive amounts of money from it thinks *other* people are “parasites”

In the three weeks Elon Musk has been in charge of unilaterally slashing government spending, the U.S. government has paid one of his companies, SpaceX, more than $43 million.

We can’t say this enough: When people in Trump‘s orbit deliberately lie about how our constitutional democracy works, they violate the oaths they take to uphold the law. & they violate the trust the American people place in them.

IDK if Bibi promised him this in exchange for letting him level what's left of Gaza, or if Trump is just channeling his inner mob boss. Maybe he's just delusional? But even saying this absolutely trashes our reputation in the world.

The same beltway reporters who wrote stories asking if Joe Biden talked about his dead son too much don’t seem to think Trump pardoning child porn guys is all that newsworthy.

Took them long enough. Sheesh. 😒 www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Cringing.

Elon Musk is not Caesar. He is not Galileo. He is not even Howard Hughes. He is merely a plutocrat with delusions of grandeur, and he should be made to understand, in no uncertain terms, that the republic that we all cherish was designed not to enthrone men like him, but to contain them.

I saw the Kanye ad yesterday (it aired in the Philly market, where we were) but didn't click on the link. Today I found out it went to a website selling swastika T-shirts. This was a Superbowl ad. And it was to a website selling swastika T-shirts. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

Just to say the quiet part out loud, the point of having unelected judges in a democracy is so that *whether* acts of state are “legitimate” can be decided by someone other than the people who are undertaking them. Vermeule knows this, of course. So does Vance.

This is important. Not because Miller will ever be consistent in his pleadings for presidential power but because it’s a public service to demonstrate to anyone who might entertain a shadow of a doubt that there’s no neutral principle here. He wants power for his guy, full stop.

thank you to Kendrick and the Eagles for making terrible people angry tonight

when yall see conservatives say “DEI” you can just replace it with the n-word to understand what they really mean

One of Musk's defining qualities is that he is a conspiracy theorist when it comes to government. He will see some ambiguous information or be presented with an easily debunked tale and he immediately believes the worst.

True.

Please remember something: if you had said a year ago that Trump would do even a fraction of these things, you would have been mocked, belittled, accused of “Trump derangement syndrome,” and dismissed by certain people. Identify those people and block and shun them.

Come on, Senator. Push through. That’s a Blackwater guy. He’s not going to shoot you; you’re not brown.

This is simply idiotic. These people will say anything with no sense of shame. That's what a cult does.

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt. Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

I wonder why Musk is focused on the federal civilian workforce (4% of the budget) and not federal contractors, which account for 3x more annual spending and are more prone to waste, fraud, and abuse?

Perhaps if he had not spent so much time playing video games so that he could be the #1 video game player he would know that the answer to this question is "All of them."

HRC's home email server seems adorable now.
