As a software engineer I can tell you: Musk's coders are _not_ improving systems at various govt agencies. Any such claims are lies to hide the real intent. The best engineers take weeks even to understand complex systems; months to plan how to upgrade them; and years to do so without disruption.

The Department of Energy on Friday tried to clarify why one of Elon Musk’s DOGE underlings was granted access to the department’s I.T. systems despite opposition from its general counsel and cybersecurity offices.

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority. Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness. Call your rep now (202) 224-3121

I am begging every Democratic committee, PAC, and candidate to get control of your damn email program right now and stop sending tone deaf fundraising emails that have nothing to do with what's happening. Stop listening to focus groups from a month ago. Stop the 2 approved talking points.

Newly, released a statement by Rep. Raskin and a fact sheet after the Trump Administration announced a broad scope freeze on all federal funding, "a brazen attack on millions of American families and a blatant episode of executive trespass on Congressional powers."

One thing I can promise is that if you are a federal employee who takes a bootleg "deferred resignation" offer written by some grimy little Elon Musk wannabe that is purportedly effective upon putting the magic word RESIGN in the subject of an email, you will never see a dime of that money

Sen Tim Kaine (D-VA) speech about Trump Admin. "buyout" idea for federal workers "He's tricked hundreds of people with that offer. If you accept that offer and resign, he'll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors. He doesn't have any authority to do this. Do not be fooled by this guy"

Guy tried to overthrow the government, committed a bunch of crimes, we didn’t do anything about it, he became president again, and suddenly everyone is shocked how he’s just flagrantly tearing down our basic institutions? He literally tried to overthrow the government!

Insanity: The deportation flights Trump used military jets for—that Mexico refused to accept—cost the U.S. up to $852,000 per flight to attempt to deport just 80 migrants at a time. To compare, flights directly chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement cost just $8,577.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research. I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

The Senate just received another report that Pete Hegseth is too drunk and abusive to be our Defense Secretary. This is not a one off. Report after report of alcohol, assault, harassment. This is a pattern of abuse. We need answers, not a rushed vote.

Looks like we weren’t the only ones who’d rather get a root canal than watch Trump lie about protecting the Constitution. His second inauguration tanked at just 24.59M viewers—less than Biden’s 33.76M in 2021 and even his own 30.64M in 2017. Team Trump will lie about this, so spread the word!

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.
