🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

💯 true

Right now our country is facing serious outbreaks of bird flu, tuberculosis, and measles, and a surge in flu cases—and how do Trump & Musk respond? By firing hundreds of CDC employees—the very people researching the spread of these diseases & how to keep people safe.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk going after the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau tells you everything you need to know about their priorities. Instead of lowering prices on "day one" as Trump said, he's raising costs on families by letting Wall Street cheat them.

"We have a cowardly Republican conference in the House...[and] the Senate...And that is part of why we're in the situation we're in...a stalemate just between the executive branch and the courts." - @marcelias.bsky.social Watch the full video:

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

JUST IN: Federal judges orders HHS, CDC, and FDA to restore “by no later than 11:59 pm” today their websites and datasets to pre-January 30th status. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Trump is attempting to cut funding for research to fight cancer, Alzheimer’s, and infectious diseases. As the home of the Mayo Clinic, we know that medical research saves lives. Minnesota Republicans should stand up for the health and wellbeing of our state. abcnews.go.com/Health/billi...

🚨🚨🚨 NY 21 Special Election Information: Blake Gendebien is the Dem candidate running for the NY21 Congressional seat to replace Elise Stefanik. This is a solidly red area, but with education, unity and hard work anything is possible. Pls share and consider donating. blakegendebienforcongress.com

Chris Murphy: "I think this is the most serious constitutional crisis the country has faced, certainly since Watergate. The president is attempting to seize control of power, and for corrupt purposes ... he's trying to crush his opposition ... this is a red alert moment ... our democracy is at risk"

USAID: - started by JFK; helped America win the Cold War - helped topple apartheid in South Africa - investigated Starlink for ties to Putin MUSK: - owns Starlink - is a white South African - talks with Putin regularly, since 2002 THAT is why Musk is attacking USAID - REVENGE

This really does explain a lot about Trump’s actions.

A statement from the Kennedy Center

Musk wants to take more of our money for himself and his projects. Trump will let him steal from Medicare and Medicaid to fund more tax cuts for the richest among us. Oligarchic kleptocratic rule: the rich get richer and everyone else does not matter.

Donald won the election, but at what cost?

You can watch Rachel's full interview with Senator Schatz here: youtu.be/0d6HrKIclLs @schatz.bsky.social

Hungarians who lived through Viktor Orbán’s 2010 authoritarian power grab warn Americans: Act now, before it’s too late.

If Elon Musk wants to cut government funding, he should give back all the billions in government subsidies (handouts!) he got for Tesla -- and the billions in government contracts he got for SpaceX. Every single penny. And he should sign a pledge never to take another penny.

@raskin.house.gov: "This is a coup, which is a seizure of state power by unelected actors... In addition to everything that Trump is doing to dismantle every part of gov’t that doesn't profit him personally, we have this additional problem of Elon Musk trying to consolidate state power under him."

NEW: An Arizona audit found data errors in the state's election system put over 218,000 voters' eligibility in jeopardy shortly before the 2024 elections. The issue, known to election officials since 2016, was only recently addressed.

You should print out your Social Security Statement. Elon and who knows how many countless others now have access to your private information, so it'd be wise to have a record of it.

Russian government leading the effort to get Tulsi Gabbard confirmed. "We've got your back, Tulsi", says Russian TV. Trump's nominee for top State Dept job is a Uighur genocide apologist who also thinks America should deliver Taiwan to China. China and Russia LOVE Trump term 2.

It’s hard to overhype how dangerous this moment is. This a naked attempt to seize government by the right wing billionaire class so they can steal from the American people.

Focus on the "why" when it comes to the closing of USAID. It's all about corruption. Trump gets to pretend he's saving money to justify his giant tax giveaway to his corporate friends. Musk takes control of foreign policy so he can do favors for China - where he makes his $$.

Why does China get lighter tariffs than Mexico or Canada? Why is USAID - the agency countering China's global influence - being shut down illegally? Follow the money. Musk and his SV bros will do anything - even pledging allegiance to socialism - to make $$ in China.
