Is Musk demanding the data held by the Social Security Administration in order to make it more efficient? Unlikely. Here's a better explanation: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

Just in case the pattern of corruption is not 100% clear, Musk is firing anyone who was "obstructing" his companies in any way. He has co-opted the government to enrich himself at your expense.

🚨 BREAKING: Ohio broke the law, illegally depriving 300,000 Ohioans of thousands of dollars (each) in federal unemployment benefits. $900M total. The dollars are still available. In a federal account. But Musk will no doubt be eyeing the funds for billionaire tax cuts. 1/

The reason there are a lot of court orders telling Trump he can't do things is because he's been doing a crazy huge amount of illegal shit in his first three weeks in office. This isn't rocket science. It's basic physics - action and reaction.

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

And let's be clear: We're invading Gaza. That's what Trump is proposing. If you're forcibly taking over territory and ethnic cleansing it of the people who live there, that's an invasion. That's declaring war.

In case you took a 20-minute nap and missed it, apparently America is now going to be invading and seizing Gaza and holding it permanently according to co-president Trump, which (someone check me on this) pretty sure is unilateral war and therefore a war crime

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

I support this. Elon Musk cannot dismantle USAID without an act of Congress. Democrats must use every lever at our disposal to block his illegal takeover and shutdown of an essential government agency.
