How Does Tyranny Begin? www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2U7NLA5/

Extreme MAGA Republicans want to cut Medicaid and Snap to give their billionaire and ultra-wealthy donors a $4.5 trillion tax cut. Make sure your members of Congress know to keep their grubby Hands Off My Medicaid! No one voted to have their healthcare taken away! Rise up we are the #Opposition

New: "Marjorie Taylor Greene Bought Tesla Stock After Named As Chair Of DOGE Subcommittee" me, for @forbes.com

Elon Musk’s DOGE just posted classified U.S. intelligence data on its website, and officials are scrambling, HuffPost reports.

"It is a government of billionaires, by billionaires, for billionaires... I can't think of a parallel... DOJ, SEC, were investigating Musk companies, that all goes away now, and he makes money at the same time." I was on MSNBC with @joyannreid.bsky.social tonight, talking Elon Musk & corruption.

I’m shocked! Shocked, I say!😱 (😉)

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who will happily and enthusiastically be reminding trump voters of ALL his broken promises because he's too busy golfing, grifting, tweeting, and being an overall tyrannical shithead. My field of "I Told You So's" is full.

That's what I'M talking about!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👯‍♀️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏻🙌🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏻🔥🔥👯‍♀️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👯‍♀️🎊🔥

A lot of us are in shock over the Trump/Musk coup d'etat. @rbreich.bsky.social has some concrete suggestions for things to DO about it:

I’m sure folks have noticed by now that they usually say they’re trying to combat whatever it is they’re actually trying to implement.

Spread the message!

Good question…

The best evidence that buying the press pays off.

Blumenthal: "It would be one thing if we had some disinterested, impartial business person -- highly successful -- looking at ways to make our govt more efficient and save money. That's not what's happening here. Elon Musk is doing a power grab & information heist, the biggest in American history"

WOW! Listen to the words of U.S. District Judge John Coughenour (Appointed by Ronald Reagan) "Citizenship is a fundamental constitutional right. The constitution is not something with which the government may play policy games.”

Really scary!

Here’s a story with some numbers. The proposed cuts are unfathomable: a 60% reduction to NSF would be the end of American science as we know it.

There are whispers going around that the presidential budget request for various science agencies will be at the level that would completely destroy them and American science. I'm talking 30-50% cuts at NASA, NOAA, NSF. There's a long way between requests and actual budgets, but

FACTS: "There are proposals from Republicans to cut $2.3 trillion from Medicaid." THIS is what it would do: It would destroy Medicaid. It wouldn't fight inflation. It wouldn't bring anybody's prices down. It would just steal people's health care #HandsOffOurMedicaid #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1

NEW: Donald Trump officially signs order to raise prices on Americans with 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico and an additional 10% tariff on China. Retaliation is expected. The U.S. is now in a massive trade war.

"These days, when aspirational autocrats take office, they often act with lightning speed to entrench themselves in power while the political opposition struggles to comprehend the magnitude of what they are seeing."

Kansas is in the middle of an “unprecedented” tuberculosis outbreak - Wyandotte County is at the epicenter of the largest recorded tuberculosis outbreak in U.S. history apple.news/A2hV6Z1ZLRH2...

BREAKING —CDC officially ordered by Trump White House to cease working with the WHO effective immediately. This is the first time in almost 77 years since WHO’s founding after World War 2. This is a very dark day, and puts us all at risk (except billionaires).

#NIH accounts for 47 billion = 25% of US federal research funding, essential for their world-leading position in bio-medical research. Trump just shut it down. No foreign adversary in their wildest wet dream could achieve such a devastating act of traitorous sabotage with a stroke of a pen.
