Donald Trump promised to let Elon Musk self-police his conflicts of interest. The result? Those investigating his companies have been fired. Cases against his companies have been dismissed. The corrupt self-dealing is staggering.

Hearing that @indivisible.org and @moveon.org are pissing off house dems by mobilizing their constituents to call them too much is frankly the single best endorsement I've ever heard for a political action groups.

@aoc.bsky.social I support and appreciate you. Please tell me how giving campaign contributions right now helps Will the money be used to fight in court? Mobilize folks on the ground? The onslaught of Dem funding appeals feels off for this moment. I’d love to know

@maddow.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com so Trump will have to slowdown his wrecking ball when MAGA voters feel it. Not if elections end!! What are we doing to ensure elections happen? Given what has already happened, we cannot afford another failure of imagination!!

We are well past the point of being embroiled in a political crisis. We are facing a wholesale assault on human decency. To not rise to the fight is to be indecent ourselves.

The NYT asked me to write an op-ed on Musk and the Treasury and then took a pass. I hope it will still get read.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked. The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.” This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

it needs to be said that while democratic elected officials are trying to get into the USAID building which was shut down by musk, CNN and MSNBC are showing the entirety of a trump press conference.

Murphy: "Let's not pull any punches about why this is happening. Elon Musk makes billions off of his business with China. And China is cheering at this action today. There is no question that the billionaire class trying to take over our govt right now is doing it based on self-interest."

Over on the other site Elon Musk said that DOGE stopped $50M of condoms from being delivered to Gaza which Trump the repeated several times but it turns out that was the number for all contraceptive support from USAID everywhere on Earth, of which none went to Palestinians.

Jessica: He had a campaign rally in the middle of what should have been a somber occasion. And these DEI policies were put in place in 2013. He had every opportunity through his first administration to revoke them if he thought they were terrible, but he didn't.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Why is it when the Republicans do horrible, despicable, stupid things, Democrats beat up Democrats for “letting” them do it? Don’t you think they are counting on us to keep destroying our own image with voters? We make it so easy for them!! Sigh.

We need to go beyond calling on Dems to reject RFK and others (though I think Whitehouse may be on board--not sure abt Fetterman). We need to get better at assigning responsibility to Republicans when they confirm and the inevitable happens. You will be responsible for the dead children.

Donald Trump is the LEAST self-aware human being I’ve ever encounter. He JUST emptied the prisons of 1500 fucking criminals in the United States of America. You can’t fix stupid.
