Elon Musk is easy for most Americans to hate because everyone has had a dickhead boss who is bad at his job and way in over his head.

The world’s strongest voice for Democracy

Jimmy J is extraordinarily misleading and stupid today. Who watches this shit?

Van Hollen: "There's no Article 4 in the Constitution that gives Elon Musk that authority, and the way he's been 'delegated' this authority is illegal, and the actions he's taking are illegal, and we need to shut down this illegal operation."

Jefferies’s reminds us daily just how worthless he is in the leadership category.

never seen such inefficiency and waste... these people are know nothings wasting taxpayer $: www.wsj.com/us-news/thou...

from today's post — thanks for reading! link to the whole ball of wax is here: bit.ly/3F0SrWS

I’m positive you all saw the video from Coeur d’Alene, where a woman was pulled out of her seat and arrested by men who claimed to be sheriff deputies, but were not in uniform. I need the men to do something: When you see a woman being abused, step in. Step up. Get in the way. Put your body to use.

BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

The level of stupidity to tell FBI, DOD, and CIA employees to reply to a janky email address from Elon's army of 21-year-old "HR" DOGE flunkies about "5 specific things you accomplished last week" is a national security nightmare. Republicans are fucking morons.

“Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. Government failure, stock market crash, and dictatorial alliances are not popular.” — Timothy Snyder

here's today's post: "elderly golfer shits the bed in batshit CPAC speech" — what the fuck is Donny blithering about now? thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

"Power of the purse" still lies with Congress despite DOGE actions www.investing.com/news/economy...

“Nothing matters other than the question of whether or not we let the billionaires destroy our democracy.” - Sen. Chris Murphy #Connecticut #Nutmegsky www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/u...

Not a great time for citizens who have chosen to serve their country by working in government, when the current leaders have nothing but contempt for your very existence. I have an idea, run for office against a Republican who is enabling it - which is all of them.

OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when.

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

For the first weeks, Americans seemed frozen, expecting institutions to do something. Americans were used to “checks and balances” and “guardrails” working. That didn’t happen. People realized that they had to take matters into their own hands. 👇

“No amount of diplomatic palaver can paper over Russia’s record of kidnapping Ukrainian children, executing POWs, and targeting civilians.” www.thebulwark.com/p/we-are-neg...

Rep Gerry Connolly (D-VA): “The capricious dismissal threatened in Mr. Musk’s post is illegal & cannot be tolerated..Musk’s post is an insult to federal workers & shows that he lacks a basic understanding that many federal workers will not be receiving this email in time to respond by the deadline”

The United States appears to be in violation of the Budapest Memorandum which disarmed Ukraine of nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees. The agreement signed by the US in 1994 specifically prohibits economic coercion against Ukraine.

Minnesota Senator Tina Smith bringing the thunder 🔥

The White House asking every federal employee to send an email summarizing what they did last week is something that FOIA lawyers dream about

😂😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

It's never good when the richest person in the world and the worst person in the world are the same person.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

They want us to be afraid. They want us to hesitate. They want us to fear their next move. Fuck that shit. We are just getting started fighting.

"Immigrants didn't steal my job. The president did."

“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.

YES! Wonderful news!

A nation thanks you for standing up and standing out. ❤️

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now. The White House is a full-time Kremlin propaganda operation..there's a real probability American troops are going to have fight abroad to protect the global world order & our allies & perhaps American sovereignty itself"

Now the thing is: Protests work. If just enough people care and show up, they work. The fascists like Trump and the nazis like Musk want you to believe it wouldn't. But it does. That's how Ghandi did it. That's how Mandela did it. That's how women did it for their right to vote.

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.

Illegally cutting cancer research and meals on wheels to pay for PR ads for themselves.

Driving an EV is almost 4x cheaper per mile than a gasoline engine vehicle. It costs around $1 in electricity to go 24 miles in an EV It costs about $3.65 to go the same 24 miles using a gasoline engine. electrek.co/2025/02/21/t...

Dan Caine, Trump’s new replacement for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reportedly told Trump, “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.” He also put on a MAGA hat, despite it violating military protocol.

Joni Ernst cast one of two pivotal votes to let this happen.

Thousands Show Up For Bernie Sanders Fight Oligarchy Rally www.politicususa.com/p/thousands-...

Send Dems into rural America to talk about what Trump is doing. The Republicans are too scared and won’t show their faces…in the vacuum of messaging, there is power. Tell the folks who is hurting them. Point to the GOP. Be the foil to the shit that’s happening. Be the party of the people.
