Are you bored tonight? Send your five accomplishments, maybe your shopping list, or your five thoughts on Elon from the past week to OPM at [email protected].

Our Supreme Connections database tracks who’s paid the Supreme Court justices, reimbursed their travel expenses or given them gifts. We just added Justice Samuel Alito’s 2023 filing and newly uncovered Justice Clarence Thomas filings from the 1990s.

BREAKING: White House confirms it has lost at least 12 cases, at least temporarily, since becoming president. Acting illegally and losing cases is a hallmark of Trump.

Brah... Very true

He stood over Trump while the president sat behind the Resolute Desk, “delivering a picture of presidential subservience the likes of which we have never seen—the most powerless image of a president of the United States ever created by a camera,” O’Donnell said.

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth. The divestment movement weakened apartheid South Africa. Let's do that again. slate.com/business/202...

The move puts the security and integrity of elections in the U.S. — especially at the state level, where local election officials rely on CISA resources to securely run elections — at risk. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“Why do I need NOAA? I’ve got a weather app.” Is equivalent to asking “Why do I need farms? I can go to the supermarket.” www.noaa.gov/about-our-ag...

Trump's billionaire donors already pay a lower effective tax rate than the rest of us. Now they want to take away our healthcare to fund their tax cuts? Fuck that BS! Hands off our Medicaid!

THIS IS PERFECT.

My latest: "Here Comes President Musk and His Incel Minions" Elon Musk, the richest racist on Earth, has enlisted teenage minions to do the bidding of the broligarchy and rob America with the blessing of the world's most powerful cuck, Donald Trump. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

Democrats need to stop playing by traditional protocols & gentlemanly rules of engagement MAGA are fighting like Viet Cong and Dems are George III's Red Coats lining up on a field of battle waiting for engagement It's time to #FuckShitUp Follow @indivisible.org's lead

And everyone who said it’s not about race. The fact that the very *first moves* of Trump/Musk were to dismantle racial integration efforts (yes this is what I will call DEI), and destroy USAID, an agency that helped victims of South African apartheid. This is White Supremacy 4.0 in action.

Here is a troll to be blocked Blocked @appalachiacosmo.bsky.social

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I am proud to have co-founded @democracyforward.bsky.social in 2017. I am even prouder to Chair its Board today as it leads the critical court fights to protect democracy. When we fight, we win! youtu.be/hQJQ5XQeESg

We need a group of lawyers who are willing to take every lawsuit from every fired federal employee to the max. Bury this admin in lawsuits

hello! just putting this here. please share in your signal groups and slacks. www.propublica.org/tips/#signal

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

This Fiona Apple narrated explainer PSA on how to film (and release footage from, not livestream) ICE arrests is exactly what we need from people with production skills right now and is worth about 3 million celebrity “imagine” covers in terms of survival utility

There is no American history without black history. Pass it
