Elon doesn't seem to understand how the federal government works.

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…

Gen. C.Q. Brown was at the U.S.-Mexico border when he was fired. Gen. Brown was fired as he was evaluating the military’s role in supporting U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CPB). Fired as he was tending to one of Trump’s top priorities — border security.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

5 things I did last week Musk 1. Successfully asked you to rehire 300 nuclear & avian flu workers you “accidentally” fired 2. Pressed you to pay attention to rising household costs 3. Stood up for vets 4. Fought against your tax cuts for the rich 5. Stood with 🇺🇦 instead of🇷🇺

Rep Kevin Hern—scared to say anything against Trump. The obvious—if Zelenskyy were a dictator, Trump would love him like he loves Putin. Glad to see folks in Oklahoma calling him out. Even small town halls matter right now. Don’t let them off the hook. Keep calling, emailing, and confronting them.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

Got to say I LOVE the Trump Administration negotiating to get Rare Minerals from Ukraine, for 2 reasons: 1. It reduces our dependence on China for Lithium and Graphite (China provides near 70% of world supply) 2. More than 50% of those minerals are in Russian Annexed land.

I'm concerned President Trump's 25% tariff tax will hurt our farmers, ag industries, and our economy and cause prices to go up on everything from gas to groceries. We must work together to lower everyday, out-of-pocket costs for working families.

Trump’s betrayal of Americans: He promised not to cut Medicaid—now he’s backing a House plan that slashes $880 billion from it. All to fund $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich. He doesn’t care if families drown in debt, as long as he & his billionaire buddies get richer. Don’t Cut My Medicaid!

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Did you know that 72 MILLION Americans rely on Medicaid for healthcare? The Trump Administration and MAGA Republicans in Congress want to take it away to give tax breaks to billionaires. Don't let them take away our healthcare. Let them know you didn’t vote for this shit.

I'm joining Ovidia Molina & TX State Teachers Association today from 11AM–1PM at First United Methodist Education Building to fight for our public schools. While public schools struggle, Gov. Abbott refuses to increase funding or raise teacher pay. Instead, he fixates on pushing his voucher scheme.

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

A number of federal agencies, from HHS to the USDA, have laid off employees only to rescind those terminations days later. An expert says it "suggests something about mismanagement of government."
