(AP) — Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars. #OligarchEra 🇺🇸 apnews.com/article/musk...

This is why isolationist nationalism is inherently imperialist - because no country has all the resources it needs. Since an isolationist nationalist regime does not want to rely on allies and trade partners to get the resources it lacks, it feels compelled to try to secure them with conquest.

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

Federal programs that helps first responders and others sickened by toxic smoke and debris receive medical care and now it will be delayed. This is life and death. This angers me so much 🤬 They put their lives on the line that tragic day. #NeverForget

I CANNOT BELIEVE Musk had the nerve to post this, when Tesla never even paid ANY taxes last year, despite having an income of $2.3 BILLION dollars. You’re not subsidizing anyone, you greedy, ignorant bastard.

This is a video that every single American needs to see so send the link to aunt "Karen," uncle MAGA, cousin low-info voter & your non-voting nephews. "We are in the middle of a hostile government takeover."🎵🎶🎶 You will enjoy this humorous & informative clip! Please share. youtu.be/cw0F8G4-dMw?...

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

FFS! 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 are firing National Park Service EMTs There will be no one to attend to you if you get attacked by wildlife, fall while climbing/hiking, have a skiing incident, are drowning, break a leg/arm/your neck, etc Alex Wilds is one such federal employee. Read what he's saying

JFC indeed.

To hell with Trump and Musk. Our grandparents and great grandparents and half a billion Americans didn't die defeating fascism, just so that we could allow a felon-rapist mobster and an unelected racist billionaire bring it here without opposition. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/its-time-t...

We are being led by dangerously stupid people.

After years of proclaiming his innocence to the same podcast audience he defrauded, Steve Bannon rolls over in court like a true MAGA coward and pleads guilty www.mediaite.com/news/just-in... Though I suppose after Eric Adams smooched enough orange butt and got pardoned, it won't matter.

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed. Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly. Yet another reason he must be rejected.

Trump’s Actions Have Created a Constitutional Crisis Presidential defiance of law and judicial rulings is a Constitutional Crisis Call your MOC every day. Ask them if the Republican Party wants to destroy the Constitution? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/u...

Brilliant bringing out "Uncle Sam" to represent "Americans" clutching their pearls at home watching Kendrick Lamar! #SuperBowl

MAGA, it's February 9th. How's it going? Promises, promises.

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic. globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

In this week's Florida Man news... Russia, Russia, Russia (and Uzbekistan) voter registration fraud, neo-nazis, stand your ground hate crime, pedo police clerk, and more! Will current DOJ keep up the good work?

W.T.F...? 'correct for race'?? Do not trust statistics coming from this administration. They will not be correct. They will be misleading. They will be false. What happens when you can not trust your leadership?

I feel at some point the need to point out to my Perpetually Whiny Victim MAGA Snowflake friends that the libs had nothing to do with firing your racist DOGE guy. You hired him, you fired him, you are hiring him back. And crying about Dems during the whole thing.

UPDATE: My colleagues and I were locked out of the Dept. of Education and denied a meeting with Acting Secretary Carter.

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

ELON IS ALLOWED IN THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. NOT YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES OR STUDENTS & PARENTS. I WILL BE BACK.

Interesting enough, we used to have proxy voting so folks could vote while they’re sick or other reasons. House Republicans eliminated proxy voting last session. If you aren’t in the building, you can’t vote. So, if you’re in the hospital, your 750,000 constituents lose their voice on the issue.

The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

There are more people who want American democracy to survive than there are people who want to destroy it. Let's act accordingly.

I wonder why Musk is focused on the federal civilian workforce (4% of the budget) and not federal contractors, which account for 3x more annual spending and are more prone to waste, fraud, and abuse?

McGovern: People voted for lower egg prices, not for a Middle East Mar-a-lago. People did not vote to send their sons and daughters into the tunnels of Gaza so that Jared Kushner and Donald Trump can build Trump Tower Gaza.
