Elon Musk is paid TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to be the CEO of Tesla. What did Elon get done last week for Tesla?

BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

One of the most humanistic things I’ve read posted on here.

The Trump administration was pressuring Ukraine to withdraw an annual resolution condemning Russia's war, and wanted to replace it with a toned-down U.S. statement. Ukraine refused to withdraw its resolution. - Washington Post. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

Rep McCormick (Roswell—safe red) can’t gaslight his constituents—but they need to wake up. He won’t do a damn thing to stop Trump. A woman asks about Trump declaring himself “king” & what he will do to stop him. His smugness is off the charts. This is the guy who said hungry kids should get jobs.

Kash Patel’s reign as FBI director is off to a great start.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

“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.”

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Trump just fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force General C.Q. Brown, and pushed out five other admirals and generals, including the first woman to lead the Navy. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

End putin. End trump.

We need his face to go viral. Do your thing Internet!

Republicans are much better at selling tyranny than we are at selling freedom.

Poland purchased Starlink, which it transferred to Ukraine. We pay & will pay a subscription fee for satellite Internet for Ukraine. I can’t imagine how someone could decide to terminate a commercial agreement for a service to which Poland is a party,” wrote Hawkowski. ukr-info.com/poltika/6482...

I spoke at the Boone County Democrats Chili Supper Thursday night…look at this crowd, friends.

This gets my vote for tweet/post of the year. This is a RED ALERT post. This is exactly why he’s doing it.

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

As Maya Angelou has so eloquently stated: "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. This is who they are. Believe them.

Trump wants to destroy America. He WANTS riots. He doesn’t care about one thing except stealing this country, its real estate, military, & treasury. HE’S DOING IT. He’s not uncomfortable about any of it. He will love his military shooting at us as we protest.But nothing will stop me from revolting.

Extortion.

Send Dems into rural America to talk about what Trump is doing. The Republicans are too scared and won’t show their faces…in the vacuum of messaging, there is power. Tell the folks who is hurting them. Point to the GOP. Be the foil to the shit that’s happening. Be the party of the people.

Staffing shortages at the hospital on Navy Base Kitsap in Washington have forced officials to move over 700 patients off base for medical care.

Folks are asking, “what should I do in this moment?” One of the most passionate, progressive voices in Congress for 30 years, Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden answers that question. Here’s our conversation, inside a replica of the Senate chamber at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute: youtu.be/n_nQ-Moa9fI?...
