"...had just opened an investigation into a career employee they believed was improperly sharing information with Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team when President Donald Trump elevated the employee this week to acting commissioner" It's a crime organization, not an administration.

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

There's a Tesla dealership in Rocklin CA. Some concerned members of the community got together to speak out against Elon Musk dismantling our government. Rocklin is the Reddest city in Placer County. I was surprised that 80% of drivers who expressed an opinion were on our side.

In case anyone says “it’s just measles”.

These cuts will hurt the farmers, geocers, truckers, and the people who need a hand to feed themselves. The only people who will benefit from this bill are the billionaires like Elon Musk. Please call your representative and tell them to vote NO on this bill. (202) 224-3121

The United Healthcare CEO got a bonus for increasing denial rates. The denials led to some unnecessary deaths. He was rewarded for killing THOUSANDS of people. Yet Luigi is the one labeled a terrorist. Our healthcare system is broken.

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

I can’t wait to copy this brilliant man’s jersey!

I wore our nation's uniform proudly. But I doubt I'd be able to do the same today. Trump is trying to shake down Zelensky and Ukraine like a common mob boss. I'm with Zelensky and Ukraine 🇺🇦 on this one.

"I challenge Zelensky to hold an election and refute this. He will not.” -Elon Musk Well, I challenge Elon Musk to stop being an asshole. He will not.

Trump's actions have created an environment where this has happened, and will continue to happen.

Every Republican needs to watch thus. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2fhArcs/

“This means that children are expected to show up in court, as of tomorrow, on their own, with no legal counsel, and try to defend themselves from deportation in an adversarial system,” We still have "lost kids" from Trump's first term. He needs to rot in hell.

🔥🔥🔥 Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe was arrested for civil disobedience after speaking against a MAGA display that the city council of Huntington Beach agreed to put up at the public library…..that’s what’s up….every word👇

NEW: Trump’s USDA admits it "accidentally" fired "several" agency employees working on the federal response to the H5N1 avian flu outbreak—and is now scrambling to undo the damage.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

"more people voted for someone not named Trump for president than voted for Trump in 2024" The mandate was for NOT TRUMP. Never let them claim otherwise.

"[Musk] claimed it’s illegal to name people who are working for him." Journalists need to be publishing the names, titles, and area of responsibility of all of Musks team. After all, "no one has been more transparent." 🙄

Billionaire co-founder of AirBnB Joe Gebbia has joined Elon Musk’s DOGE team, so let’s spread awareness and make sure nobody books a goddamn thing through AirBnB ever again, shall we?

"It tracks each federal agency's number of words of regulations as a metric of inefficiency." Seriously?!?! Regulations are needed to keep bad actors like Elon Musk from killing Americans with dangerous products or processes.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

Here's a video from yesterday's protest rally at the Capitol.

@benandjerrys.bsky.social is in the thick of the fight. I support their efforts one pint at a time.

Some photos from today's rally in Sacramento. About 700 people were there commited to protecting our democracy.

Today is a good day to speak up.

Will DOGE be highlighting tax cheats like Trump and Musk? Our will they focus on the $10 someone failed to pay in 2020? They didn't need access to individual taxpayer information to make the IRS more efficient.

"Capito didn’t say she wanted the courts to settle the matter for lawmakers, but made clear she believes lawsuits will determine whether various funding freezes and recissions are allowed to go through." Trump is indicating that he won't abide by court rulings. More #FAFO

Celebrating Black History Month, more appropriately called American History.

Michael Steele telling it like it is 👇

"President Trump has long been a critic of the I.R.S., often complaining that it was overly aggressive in its audits of his finances." It's never been about efficiency. It's about covering up evidence of crimes.

Musk and his army of dipshits on Twitter keep pointing to Bill Clinton’s federal worker reduction in the 1990s to defend Trump. The difference? Congress passed a law that Clinton signed, he didn’t just get the nearest billionaire to illegally start dismantling the government based on his whims.

I will voicing my opposition to the lawlessness coming out to the White House tomorrow. This is not a time to sit idly by.

I swore this oath in 1985 and I still stand by it.

When you understand that Musk is shutting down agencies that regulate him, you begin to understand the scam.
