This is a joke and a waste of taxpayer dollars. Irvine has the first (and hopefully last) police Cybertruck in the U.S. Saw a guy on a video, I think TikTok, ripping parts off a Cybertruck with his bare hands and destroying the doors by slamming them. That car has no business in a police fleet.

“This Week in Democracy: Week 5 – The 'King' Purges His Generals” Read and share the latest from Zeteo's project to document the ongoing, week-by-week growth of authoritarianism in the Trump second term:

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

The House could vote next week on drastic cuts to Medicaid that would gut critical programs that protect the civil rights and dignity of millions of Americans — including people with disabilities. Contact your member of Congress: No cuts to Medicaid.

Trump's attacks on the USPS aren't new. For decades, the GOP has been trying to privatize the Post Office and other crucial public services — all to pad the profits of their wealthy corporate donors.

Per @adamschiff.com: “Donald Trump promised to let Elon Musk self-police his conflicts of interest. The result? Those investigating his companies have been fired. Cases against his companies have been dismissed. “The corrupt self-dealing is staggering.”

DOGE staffer Edward “Big Balls” Coristine is the grandson of Valery Martynov - a “former” KGB spy. That’s right, one of Elon Musk’s young cyber criminals — related to a former KGB spy, and who seemingly did not have to undergo a background check — now has unprecedented access to…

Remember I saw the image of a plant when I asked if Trump was a Russian asset. It took me a minute…I was show he was a Russian plant in the US. I have no doubt at all I clairvoyantly saw the truth.

Dan Caine, Trump’s new replacement for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reportedly told Trump, “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.” He also put on a MAGA hat, despite it violating military protocol.

This is not normal! As if federal employees didn’t already feel threatened enough—sure, let the brown shirts have guns; that’ll certainly boost compliance.

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

Odd how the turns have tabled… Trump reversed course and admitted that Russia did, in fact, invade Ukraine. International news sources and independent media have stepped up to keep Americans informed.

The thing about swastikas spray painted on the side of a cybertruck is there’s a 50/50 chance the owner did it.

Made it to Arlington, VA, for another #TeslaTakedown. Some wonderful soul brought a Ukrainian flag!

Forgot to post the second sign we took to the Tesla Takedown, courtesy of my younger child

When you fire the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs-who’s Black Replacing him with an unqualified white man Then ax the Chief of Naval Operations-who’s a woman-saying she’s a DEI hire After you fired a female Coast Guard Commandant Your racism and misogyny seem pretty clear apnews.com/article/trum...

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

This is such condescending BS.

UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices" muskwatch.com/subscribe

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

DOGE’s expenses have risen above 40 million, with weekly costs now exceeding 10 million. We will release an updated DOGE staff list soon.

BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

We have added @trumpgolftrack.com to Bluesky. Please pass it on!

Donald Trump is ending the national database of police misconduct

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.

Not only are the Congressman’s remarks not a threat but Martin was a defense attorney for people who actually did threaten government officials - the Jan 6th insurrectionists! - and works for a president who has made multiple violent threats (2nd Amendment people and Hillary, folks, remember that?)

The felon promised he wouldn’t touch Medicaid. He lied. 🤥 Now, his reckless cuts put millions at risk. **2 out of every 5 births** in this country are covered by Medicaid—this is about life, health, and families. We can’t afford these attacks. #DontCutMyMedicaid

“This is the move of a weak and insecure tyrant, not a strong Commander-in-Chief. Firing senior military leaders for political reasons is a reckless, dangerous step that will directly harm military readiness and stability.” votevets.org/press-releas...

WATCH: “When will you stand up to them and say that is enough?” WISCONSIN Republicans Grothman & Fitzgerald run into tough town hall crowds also 👇🏽👀

Call to Action: Protest against Trump and fascism. Los Angeles, California. February 22 at 12PM "Your voice matters" #3E #USProtest #ProtestCA #Feb22

Don't hold back now.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Please re-post as much as possible! We want to get thousands of people to March.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

BREAKING: The Associated Press sues three Trump administration officials over access to presidential events, citing the First Amendment.

U.S. stocks took a massive nosedive after reports showed worries about how Donald Trump’s policies will likely affect the economy

Call to Action: civil and human rights protest. Savannah, Georgia on February 22 at 4PM. “WE BEAT 'EM BEFORE. WE’ll BEAT ‘EM AGAIN” #3E #USProtest #ProtestGA #ProtestSavannah #Feb22

Something odd just happened—an article that had been widely published on media sites has suddenly disappeared without any retraction or explanation. Many may have come across it on Reddit.
