Suggestion to Americans: If you used a current bank account with funds on a recent tax return, it may be wise to contact your bank and request a change. Account and routing numbers are accessible, and Elon Musk’s staff have access to this information. Stay safe and protect your assets.

Trump and the GOP are trying to repeal a Biden admin rule that requires lead water pipes to be replaced. Tens of millions of people, including children, would continue to have contaminated drinking water if the rules are revoked. So the GOP is the party of lead poisoning now?

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at USAID on leave after they refused to turn over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s government-inspection teams, a current and a former U.S. official told The Associated Press on Sunday.

So Musk, who’s not an elected anything, who runs a non-existent “agency” has accessed sensitive Treasury data including Social Security and Medicare customer payment systems and there’s no way to stop him? apnews.com/article/dona...

I found this on Twitter. I believe it’s being suppressed there

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

The Soviet-style purge is intensifying

To recap, Trump: -Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence -Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers -Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee -Blamed the DCA crash on DEI This is disastrous leadership.

A lot of tragedy is going to occur over the coming four years as Americans inevitably find out the hard way that governments, while imperfect, actually do many things that make their lives better and safer.

House GOP members are figuring out which of Trump's promised tax cuts to propose into law and how to pay for them. Among their targets: slashing benefits for single mothers and the poor who rely on government health care. By @robert-faturechi.bsky.social & @justinelliott.bsky.social

Heartbreaking 💔

"Trump has denied or downplayed links to Project 2025," said @molly.wiki, who exposed the memos' authors. "These documents show that implementation is well underway."

Not a great sign when Wired says it won't name at least two fo the people Musk has installed to run the Office of Personnel Management because they may be minors www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

The only thing more dangerous than a vengeful president is an opposition that’s too despondent to fight back. “There won’t be an election in 4 years.” Oh really? Please. You don’t know what will happen tomorrow.

Inspectors General are key public servants tasked with holding our government accountable. They’re independent, nonpartisan whose work is identifying fraud, waste, & importantly, abuse. Trump just fired them all. Make no mistake: he's purging those who will protect the rule of law.

If you threatened to deport a bishop because they advocated for mercy, you’re not a follower of Jesus Christ.

Supreme Court sides with House DFL in quorum case. #mnleg

Hundreds of refugees bound for Minnesota over the next few months are now stuck abroad, including two orphaned Karen children and a Somali family of five in Kenya.

Get ready. Trump is going to fire most of the VA workforce, 70% of which are Veterans, then to "fix" the problems he created, he's going to privatize the VA and send our veterans to expensive, shitty corporate health mills after he slashes health benefits so he and his buddies can get richer.
