It was never about saving money—or rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse. Musk bought himself a presidency, and in exchange, Trump handed him the keys to our government so he could tear down anything in his way, siphon off our data w/his hackers, and line his pockets w/more fat government contracts.

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

Something that Sarah Mcbride said about the asymmetry of the Parties being rooted in sexism stuck with me. Everyone treats the GOP like the family patriarch & the Democrats like mothers.

The White House, not even DHS, the White House itself apparently, is directly deciding which permanent residents should be detained and deported based on their political speech. If this doesn’t scare you about the state of our democracy and liberties, I don’t know what will.

Watching the media struggle with all this is maddening. There are 2 sides: our side is a Diverse population, who want Equal opportunity, Include everyone and make sure it’s Accessible to all. The other side are WHITE SUPREMACISTS and bragging about it.

Republicans ran into the room to SHEILD Elon Musk from having to come and speak to Congress. They want their billionaire takeover done behind closed doors. The people deserve transparency. No one elected Elon Musk.

Justice died this past July when the Supreme Court crowned Trump king. But even though we knew today would come, it still hurts. Let’s try to be a little kinder to one another.
