AOC: “Elon Musk is not going after efficiency — he is trying to gut everything good in 🇺🇸 for his own private profit… America is not for sale.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGXObpu...

WATCH: “When will you stand up to them and say that is enough?” WISCONSIN Republicans Grothman & Fitzgerald run into tough town hall crowds also 👇🏽👀

WATCH: “So far DOGE has saved enough to buy each of us 3 cups of coffee.” Economist Justin Wolfers on the *DOGE DIVIDEND* It’s all a trick. Their goal is tax cuts for the rich. And they never cared about the debt.

Everything they do is to enrich themselves and their friends. electrek.co/2025/02/21/t...

UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices" muskwatch.com/subscribe

The real “Gulf of America” is between the people who believe every word Musk & Trump are saying and the people who know how incredibly full of shit they are.

Ope.

Elon Musk's indiscriminate effort to fire critical federal employees isn't based on expertise or experience.   At a time when accidents in our skies have been increasing, they fired hundreds of FAA employees—folks that we need to keep Americans safe.

These cuts have been made without reason and will do nothing to keep Granite Staters and visitors safe or protect the forest that drives our tourism economy. I urge the Administration to rehire these essential employees. www.conwaydailysun.com/news/local/w...

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

Have you noticed the press is not calling this the Trump-Vance administration? Don’t let Vance escape your attention, even though he isn’t making headlines—he’s still dangerous.

Good Morning Everyone (ty @cwebbonline.com ) Please take a moment to listen Please take a moment and be like this great guy.... Please take a moment to remember Amanda Gorman said " IF ONLY WE ARE BRAVE ENOUGH TO SEE IT." "IF ONLY WE ARE BRAVE ENOUGH TO BE IT "

Oof! Brian hit the nail on the head!

😂😂

I am not interested in ageism; but perhaps it might help if the leadership of our country wasn’t just a bunch of old, cisgender, white millionaires.

Firing 7000 IRS agents will make it even easier for the rich to get away with skirting what they owe. But it's also a gift to the multi-billion dollar tax prep industry. Fewer IRS agents to help you file your taxes means more money in the pockets of companies like TurboTax.

The perfect obituary

I've been writing a series of essays for PBS on men whose style I admire. The latest is about James Baldwin, a man who knew how to sing through clothes. www.pbs.org/wnet/america...

it is really notable the extent to which state Dems have been significantly better than federal Dems at telling Trump to go fuck himself

It's pretty cool that Eater put together resources for restaurants about how to handle ICE raids

men who dressed like this from 2008 - 2012 had preppy menswear blogs

Connecticut Sen. Blumenthal demands the reinstatement of fired FAA safety workers #Connecticut #CT #Nutmegsky 👇👇👇 ctnewsjunkie.com/2025/02/21/b...

“They don’t have the right to health, but they have the right to access.” - Dr. Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

CFPB was created to stop big banks & lenders from ripping us off in the wake of the foreclosure crisis. Rent & home prices are unaffordable and skyrocketing. College costs are an all-time high. Junk fees are out of control. The worst possible moment to gut the watchdog protecting our pocketbooks.

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.

🎯

Sigh.

200 million dollars of waste.

1/ "The Trump administration has blocked key parts of the federal government’s apparatus for funding biomedical research, effectively halting progress on much of the country’s future work on illnesses like cancer and addiction despite a federal judge’s order to release grant money."

The Pentagon is now pausing their mass firing of civilian employees in order to evaluate potential impacts on military readiness. I’m just spitballing here, but maybe a readiness assessment should have been the first step. 🤦‍♂️

Oh holy fuck. (My apologies. But…!!!) STOP MAKING MY WORK RELEVANT H/T @hbraum.bsky.social

Bingo. Say this. Every day. Every hour. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

It’s nonsense—but deliberately. The terms are vague and meaningless so they can ban ANYTHING if they want to.
