This is disgusting

It’s a coup.

Accurate

If you're feeling overwhelmed, I really hope this reaches you today.

Are you effing serious?

It’s already a coup. Will the 90M nonvoters show up to restore our democracy? How many of his 70M will come to their gd senses? youtu.be/wOaUuEzq6bY?...

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.

Three updates: 1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

Tis a coup....

I've said it before and I'll say it again until the day I die. READ BANNED BOOKS. Also, Dolly is a national treasure. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

YES!!!

Never thought I'd repost a Cheney post, but here we are in the upside down.

The Department of Education told schools to stop DEI efforts or risk losing federal dollars. The president of the Council for Higher Education Accreditation warns it won't be quick and easy.

As flu rages, the Trump administration has pulled the plug on a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention flu immunization campaign that targeted high-risk groups, including pregnant women.

This is so f*cked.

BREAKING: USAID contractors/aid recipients say Secretary Rubio and USAID leader Peter Marocco should be held in civil contempt for violating a court order to lift spending freeze.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Dark Pence is back.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Hundreds of artists signed a letter sent to the National Endowment for the Arts asking it to reverse policy changes made as a result of recent executive orders issued by President Trump.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

I will keep repeating - this is an actual travesty on a massive scale.

Elon Musk's role in the Trump administration is as a White House employee and senior adviser to the president, and is not an employee of the Department of Government Efficiency and has no decision-making authority, the White House said in a court filing reut.rs/431Y6WO

True words.

The CFPB has: -Returned $20B to victims of financial fraud -Cracked down on junk fees -Fought against politically-motivated debanking -Protected veterans from predatory lenders -Protected consumers' data from corporate abuse Oligarchs want to reverse all of this.

JFC indeed.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

He’s right again.

from “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler

Because of DOGE, countless Americans are going to die.

Donald Trump promised to lower costs, in his own words, “on day one.” Now, Trump and Elon Musk are gutting the consumer agency, which will increase costs on working people. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

If Elon Musk truly cares about being "maximally transparent," he should release the forms showing his financial interests. Americans deserve to know how Elon Musk will profit from his role in the Trump Administration. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

First they came for the migrants….

A SpaceX rocket exploded in January, leading to FAA safety violation fines. Elon Musk threatened to sue the agency. Shortly after, the FAA administrator resigned. The FAA's commercial spaceflight office could be next on the DOGE chopping block. See the problem? www.propublica.org/article/elon...

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

The US government began firing hundreds of people at multiple agencies as President Donald Trump and Elon Musk accelerate their purge of America's federal bureaucracy, union sources and employees familiar with the moves told Reuters reut.rs/40WjVVc

BIG NEWS: We're holding DOGE accountable. It's not "efficient" to allow Elon Musk's operatives to mess with the systems that send Social Security checks or pay for your mom’s doctor through Medicare. It's dangerous for the economy and a breach of privacy for millions of Americans.

Catastrophic.

Goodnight friends. We end today with this quote for ourselves and for our new secretary of HHS.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Disgusting.
