As if it’s up to America to decide the fate of democratic Ukraine by conducting negotiations with Russia without Ukraine. Yet another betrayal of democracy by this pro-Putin Trump regime.

Another way this feels similar to COVID — the disaster is already unfolding but the people in charge seem to think it’ll only impact “blue” areas.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

All top level Dems need to do a united presser every day and highlight every crime committed by a pardoned January 6er. Hang them all on Trump. They also have to highlight every nightmare story his DOGE cuts are creating. They have to personalize every narrative. Every day.

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted. Yet somehow Musk isn't.

One of the best lines during our recording today was our understanding that the only way to save America is to arrest Elon Musk and DOGE, but if we’re relying on US Marshals, the Secret Service, or the military to stop these private citizens taking over the government… we’ve kind of already lost.

We have leaders on our side debating the precise velocity at which we should be throwing trans people under the bus because of polls; meanwhile every day you get a headline like 'Trump is destroying the National Cancer Institute.' Just full steam ahead on the Kicking Puppies Agenda.

NEW — In an alarming email last night reviewed by me, Coast Guard members learned that 1,135 members' direct deposit account routing information was compromised due to a data breach from unauthorized access. It was only discovered because an officer “reported anomalous activity” on their account.

Thank you, DOGE, for clearly visualizing what incredible value the American people get from their national parks. 17,700 permanent employees making an average of $81,000 a year serving 325 million visitors annually. Is there a better value in the entire federal government?

NY State AG Letitia James ought to issue a warrant for Elon Musk and his incel clown posse for wire fraud and grand larceny. They took $80 million of federally allocated funds from a bank account that wasn't theirs. Indict them, issue warrants, and arrest them now. End this madness.

I've received a tip that access to NASA supercomputing services used for fundamental physics research has been disrupted. I was told in-process computation jobs were interrupted from January 22-29 and access hasn't been restored. If you're in this situation, message stevanzetti.12 on Signal.

Wall Street's touching the stove moment might end up being not tariffs or debt default, but rather DOGE techbros causing a bank run by carelessly demonstrating they can now yank funds out of commercial bank accounts on a whim. A very pure distilled demonstration of no rule of law, no capitalism.
