I don’t know how many different ways to say that agency personnel don’t work for Elon. They don’t have to report to Elon. They report to their agency leadership, which reports to the President.

I want to salute the Governor of Maine Janet Mills who, in that room with a raging Trump and silent complicitors, stood her ground and said, “see you in court!” Maine residents, show your support for your Gov for standing up for your independence.

Elon Musk's X is about to become an Information Age version of state media, run by a regime-connected oligarch. As @brianbeutler.bsky.social argues, journalists have a professional ethical responsibility not to use it, not least to avoid authoritarian government monitoring of contact with sources.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

President Musk’s private goons are the only non-public safety officers allowed to carry weapons on federal grounds. The White House, Congress, Federal office buildings... He gets perks never allowed in the past in addition to profiting directly from what he changes #Voices4Victory #Musk

Think about this and please make sure to "repost" it so that everybody understands what's really going on. Don't just "like" it -- "repost" it -- this is important!

Hmm. Elon and Trump want Ukraine to have new elections bc for some reason they think they’ll get a different leader there. Now Trump’s out here not only threatening “lawsuit” but also suggesting this gov “will no longer work in politics.” What power does DJ have over Maine’s electorate?

If we can't sleep peacefully, they don't get to sleep peacefully. Don't call your republican reps because you think you can convince them. Call them because fuck them, they don't get a free pass on this shit.

ICYMI: I’m leading a constitutional amendment to undo Citizens United. After an election where a billionaire bought a seat as Shadow President, we must ensure our democracy is truly of, by, and for the people — not corporations and billionaire donors. truthout.org/articles/jay...

Newsmax asked me about Trump's new $5000 per person federal stimulus checks today which reminds me of how Hugo Chavez used Castro-guided socialism to turn Venezuela into an inflation ridden nightmare. How did they respond? With insults. WATCH: 1/2

Last night I attended the Save Our Services rally in New York City. Listen to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) fighting for people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” @aoc.bsky.social

The most inept, corrupt, and cruel administration in history loves to watch other people suffer. They get off on it, especially pukes like Stephen Miller. The Republican Party is evil and they must be stopped before it’s too late, but HOW are we going to do it? www.thebulwark.com/p/the-cruelt...

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

If you’re looking for villains in the erosion of democracy, remember that the corporate media spent weeks obsessing over Joe Biden’s choice of footwear, but when Donald Trump declared that he’s above the law they basically shrugged and moved on.

Former Vice President Mike Pence denounced Donald Trump over his biggest, most flagrant lie of late — the infuriating claim that Ukraine started the war with Russia. Pence reappeared to slam Trump’s Putin-inspired lie. Posting the indisputable truth on X, Pence emphasized his…

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?
