So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

At the same point, Trump directly threatened to withhold federal funding because a Governor wouldn’t do exactly what he wanted.

Trump’s begun his weaponization of the DOJ to target his (or Elon’s) enemies. It’s only going to get worse now that Kash Patel is head of the FBI…and @democrats.org still only want to talk about the issues they’ll use in the next election instead of this constitutional crisis.

I wonder if Ed Martin's going to send him a letter asking him to explain what he means by this like he did to Robert Garcia? No, of course not.

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

Axios reported that Schumer’s budget strategy is proposing amendments so GOP decides between defying Trump or voting to defund the agencies/programs currently being dismantled. @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social see this as an issue to run on in the next election…

This also shows the disparity between Dem leadership (talking about last year’s issues) vs. the younger Dems, who recognize the most pressing issue facing us.

This is the cost of @democrats.org inaction. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @schumer.senate.gov, and many others post about grocery prices and other issues from last year. But THIS issue of hijacking and dismantling agencies should be what focus on. Everything else is trivial if we lose our govt.

Our national bird is now dying of a disease that the current Administration both refuses to acknowledge and is dismantling the agencies responsible for preventing the disease’s spread.
