If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

Brianna Keilar: Do you think that calling Elon Musk a dick is effective messaging? Congressman Robert Garcia: Well, he is a dick.

As governor of Illinois, I’ve made it my mission to make our state the best to call home including for our LGBTQ+ community. No matter who you are or who you love, everyone deserves dignity and equality. Hate has no home here.

Hold the fuck on — the Department of Government Efficiency, the entity which claims its mission is to end “wasteful spending”, was given SEVEN MILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS to cover its “expenses” in the span of a single week?!?! Are you fucking kidding me?!?

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that. The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct. What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

if the president can say “i don’t like the department of energy,” and within a week it’s closed, then the constitution means nothing, and the president’s entire claim to power is the loyalty of the military. either he is constrained by the constitution or he’s a dictator, there isn’t a middle ground

Think firing the entire federal workforce will save America money? Federal civilian employees account for just 4% of the federal budget. Even if someone like Musk—or any president—fired all of us, it wouldn’t make much of a dent in government spending. Don’t fall for it.

TOMORROW: We’re rallying at the Treasury building with @moveon.org to stop Elon Musk’s hostile takeover and tell this unelected billionaire to get his hands off our money. We hope you can join us if you’re in the D.C. area.

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

The US is the biggest drug and weapons trafficker in North America. Canada and Mexico just managed to secure their borders and the US will pay for it. The US deficit is now through the roof and its enjoyment of cheap Canadian and Mexican oil has ended. The Trump led US just lost the trade war.

Kamala should never have taken the high road and conceded. Trump cheated in 2016 and didn’t get caught. Trump cheated in 2020 and got caught. No way he won in 2024. I don’t believe 10m registered Dems just stayed home. It was an inside job fascinated by Musk & Russia.

Hey “price of eggs” Trump voters, your rotting gourd god said that prices are going to go up for a “little while” thanks to his tariffs, and that it will cause some “pain”, but that it’s ok, because you “understand.” Do you understand that you voted for higher prices and pain?

We will see what happens but the whole “GOP voters will learn their lesson the hard way thing” is cutting against a media environment, including the right wing one, that primes its viewers to blame someone or some thing else

In two weeks Elon Musk infiltrated our Treasury Department computers. And three months ago when we suggested he interfered with our election, you shamed us for stoking conspiracy and told us to move on. All we had to do was a simple audit and we could have prevented all of us. What a waste...

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

There is no such fucking thing as being “too woman” to pilot a helicopter, “too gay” to land a plane or “too black” to be an air traffic controller. There is however, such a thing as being too hateful, too stupid & too sociopathic to be president. And we call that Donald Trump.
