If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Yes, booing the U.S. national anthem is disrespectful to Americans—but you know what’s worse? The U.S. president repeatedly and publicly telling the world that Canada has no right to exist and should be part of the U.S.🇺🇸🇨🇦

Not enough law firms is the answer. My law firm, @eliaslawgroup.bsky.social, will fight for democracy and would never work for Musk or any of the entities he controls. Big law, who is with us?

Our son is president of a commercial construction company. His idea for handling the whole DEI insanity is to change his internal committee acronym to DBA—Don’t be an Asshole. I think it could catch on ☺️

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

1/6 The GOP didn’t win in 2024 by getting more votes. They won by disqualifying more votes. Millions of Democratic ballots were purged, tossed, or blocked before they were even counted. The numbers are staggering. Let’s on the real threat. 🧵 #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

Today from Timothy Snyder, author of On Tyranny: snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-...

The GOP has been conning us since the Reagan era. Most rank & file Republicans have been brainwashed into believing that social programs are breaking this country rather than the enormous loss of tax revenue given to the ultra wealthy & big corps in the form of tax breaks #Voices4Victory #TaxTheRich

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.

Who is standing up to the power grab? Where should we be putting our money? ACLU? Amnesty International? We’re getting crickets from congressional leadership and we’re too far out from the next elections for political donations to help…

I don’t want to be an alarmist but this is insanely dangerous. Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire with no oversight, has gained access to the federal government’s payment system And all of our data. What is he planning to do with it?

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
