The shareholders at Tesla would probably like to ask a similar question: "Elon, what did you get done for us last week, other than further alienating our most likely customers with your obnoxious fascist stunts?

"In his first term, Trump failed to build a wall. He failed to marshal the resources from Congress, failed to gain a consensus of American opinion and failed at everything administrations do in a democracy to advance policy."

This is Musk's work and he should be explaining it to all of us. Or better yet, just shutting everything down and getting out of DC. What a wonderful silence that would bring.

Remember, Russell Vought said he wanted to "traumatize" federal civil servants.

If you're looking for a word to describe Donald Trump & Elon Musk, the Germans are seven decades ahead of you.

Oh, you wouldn't want to do something like that.

(AP) — Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars. #OligarchEra 🇺🇸 apnews.com/article/musk...

Says the guy who won't even respond to the mothers of his own children

Hey…Elon, if you’re monitoring this, FUCK YOU.

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

Why do trans people scare him so much?

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

KEEP PUSHING! If they won’t do a town hall DEMAND ONE

New @lhn.bsky.social story: DOGE’s cuts included the guy responsible for keeping veterans’ data safe online “I believe that his abrupt firing puts the security of veterans services at risk,” one person says

So many people will suffer and die because of what they are doing. It seems like that's their goal.

Temporary Protective Status allows immigrants fleeing violence and persecution to live and work in the U.S. without fear of deportation. Revoking TPS is not only cruel — it's unlawful.

Something that's maddening about the cases involving DOGE access to our most sensitive private data and the irreparable harm standard is that the ACCESS ITSELF is the irreparable harm, and some judges just aren't getting that. (Some are, e.g., storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...)

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

FOX NEWS: You are against people bringing in eggs that have not been-- I mean, we have the USDA for a reason. These could be contaminated and bring illnesses in. GALLEGO: Absolutely. This is why we shouldn't be firing USDA inspectors that are actually doing oversight over avian flu

Yes @adamserwer.bsky.social gets it right. But for all these reasons, it is necessarily an attack on the 14th Amendment. We have to start talking about it in constitutional terms. Because that is what they are resisting.

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...

Some parks are partially or fully closed due to lack of staffing.

A Congolese humanitarian worker at Doctors without Borders has been killed at a hospital in eastern DRC, where refugees sought shelter from Rwandan rebels M23. On that single day, Feb 20, 11 civilians were being treated for gunshot wounds at the clinic. @msfincanada.bsky.social

Keep speaking out!

THIS THIS THIS

Had to take some self care time. But never forget, Elon Musk and his teen tyrants are terrorists!

Decades of sacrifice and work by generations of men and women across the globe up in smoke. Truly tragic. Tens of millions of American voters squandered the legacy of their parents and grandparents for the thrill of racism and “owning the libs.”

I wrote about how particularly ridiculous it is that Senate Democrats, led by Dick Durbin, think the priority should be repealing Section 230 and undermining the very open internet we need more than ever right now. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/21/w...

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

Authoritarian leader cult alert

What a fucked-up framing from the #BrokenPost. Trump is surrendering Ukraine and the West to Putin but here the burden is on Zelensky to "salvage his relationship." Can Zelensky salvage his relationship with Trump and save Ukraine? wapo.st/4it7ZS3

Remarkable: Trump's own pollster just found that in swing House districts, Dems lead by 5 points and voters want tax policy to prioritize working people, per Politico. Yet GOP is about to brutally slash the safety net and give the rich huge tax cuts! New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1918...

My heart goes to all the USAID workers and those they serve. Show @altusaid.bsky.social some love today. 💔 www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

A year ago this month, Trump said he would encourage Russia to attack NATO allies and "do whatever the hell they want" unless allies paid up. We thought it was so important, we ran it on the front page of the @mississippifreepress.org at a time when the New York Times and others didn't.

Elon Musk's private security detail has been deputized as Federal Marshalls and can carry firearms on Federal property. What could possibly go wrong? www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p...

If you support this, you’re an awful human being

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

Members of Congress thanks for showing up for the cameras, you told us to use the courts but courts won't save us unless YOU put the heat on. We've seen this movie before in places like, oh, Cambodia. Let them do this to us and they will come for YOU @housedemocrats.bsky.social @dscc.bsky.social

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

Trump just made a civilian the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Chairman is legally required to be an active-duty military officer. Trump is scared of our officers, knowing full well they will absolutely deny an illegal order!
