Not a lot, but it’s a start; the backlash is working apnews.com/article/trum...

Don’t forget to send your list to Elon! https://www.reddit.com/r/democrats/comments/1iw38by/dont_forget_to_send_your_list_to_elon/ https://www.reddit.com/r/democrats/comments/1iw38by/dont_forget_to_send_your_list_to_elon/

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

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...

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

Billionaire co-founder of AirBnB Joe Gebbia has joined Elon Musk’s DOGE team, so let’s spread awareness and make sure nobody books a goddamn thing through AirBnB ever again, shall we?

Here’s a story that Dems like @ocasio-cortez.house.gov @petebuttigieg.bsky.social @jasmineforus.bsky.social should be telling LOUDLY. People love the NPs & millions visit Yosemite each year. Even MAGA wants their summer vac to go smoothly, be safe, & free of chaos 😡

I think @petebuttigieg.bsky.social needs to hold a DAILY press conf about all of it. One person’s or community’s story EVERY DAY

This is shocking. Married women: this is a must read! We need to be aware of these alt tactics to make sure women lose their voice - and vote substack.com/@allisonhilt...

Great point.

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

More of this, America.

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Oops 😬

ICE using the SEO dark arts

Marko Elez, an Elon Musk staffer with access to the Treasury Department’s sensitive payments system, has quit after racist and pro-eugenics posts surfaced, including one stating, ‘Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool.’

Timeline cleanse: Pumpkin and black bean chili with chipotle and poblano peppers…. pickled red onions and chopped cilantro on top 😎

Trump during the election: No new wars! Trump after inauguration: We’re going to send the U.S. military in to conquer Gaza, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, and the Panama Canal!

Well played, President Claudia Sheinbaum, for committing troops already at the border since 2021, knowing perfectly well President Man Baby would have no idea and take it as a win.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

“We don’t have a 4th branch of government called Elon Musk.” Thank you @raskin.house.gov

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

It’s official: Elon Musk’s staffers have now illegally obtained classified information from the USAID office. Here’s a recap of what’s happening:

Pritzker: "He promised he was gonna lower costs & make us safer. He's done none of it. I realize he's only been in office 2 weeks, but it's gotten worse, not better. You think grocery prices have gone down? No, they've gone up bc of what he's threatening or what he's already put in place"

Some of the data that was purged yesterday is back, but not all of it. Still, the idea that this government can decide what data we see when it wants to based on a very narrow view of things should disturb us. Review what happened: open.substack.com/pub/insideme...

This is a big deal, y'all. Federal health websites are being stripped of content or removed in their entirety. Stick with this thread for a look at what's disappeared so far! 1/x

Oh. The LA Times is editing out negative parts of an article about RFK Jr. that say he's unfit for Secretary of Health and Human Services. If you haven't canceled your subscription already, you should.

This is how autocrats throughout history have endangered the people they govern by erasing factual information vital to health and well being www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...
