And fully half of it is a humiliating error where they mistake the value of a contract by 1000x confusing 8 million with 8 BILLION

BREAKING: All seven of Elon Musk’s companies — X, xAI, Neuralink, Starlink, the Boring Company, Tesla and SpaceX —have netted a combined $20 billion in US government contracts and subsidies, according to the Financial Times. Does MAGA care to comment?

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

What do you think? Why isn't Congress investigating Musk's companies that get $8 million per day in funding, while at the same time they are trying to cut Social Security funding from average Americans who receive only $65 per day? #DemVoice1 #DemsUnited #ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue

An Economic Blackout is happening on Friday, February 28th - SPREAD THE WORD! #DemVoice1 #LiveBlue #ResistanceUnited #Voices4Victory #OneVoice

Today, Elon Musk called Social Security “the largest fraud in history.” The world's richest man is coming to steal your Social Security. I PAID INTO SOCIAL SECURITY FOR 65 YEARS! THE MONEY IS MINE. KEEP YOUR DAMN HANDS OFF OUR SOCIAL SECURITY!!!!

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

The CFPB has fought for and delivered for student loan borrowers. Without the CFPB, financial predators will get free rein. This should concern us all. @TheSBPC protectborrowers.org/elon-and-dog...

CFPB - closed USAID - closed Medicaid - under attack NIH cancer funding - frozen Department of Education - under attack But do you know who just got a NEW government contract for $38,858,978 literally today? SpaceX — owned by Elon Musk

It’s a fucking coup

I miss my parents every day, but I am so thankful they are not here to see what is happening to our nation, They were longtime members of our local Democratic Party. 😞💙🇺🇸

WATCH as Senator Hirono shows how gutting Medicaid is all part of Project 2025... #HandsOffOurMedicaid

**FACT:** Republicans want to slash $2.3 TRILLION from Medicaid. ❌ It won’t fight inflation. ❌ It won’t lower costs. ❌ It WILL rip healthcare from kids, seniors & working families. This isn’t fiscal responsibility—it’s **theft.** 📢 **Speak out!** #HandsOffOurMedicaid

So my daughter, who is an epidemiologist with an NIH grant is editing her research to fit the new requirements. It sounds something like this: kids should brush their teeth and go to the doctor.🤦‍♀️ welcome to the dumbing down of America🤬

Trump during the election: No new wars! Trump after inauguration: We’re going to send the U.S. military in to conquer Gaza, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, and the Panama Canal!

As a retired employee, I find this very disturbing. So many great women pioneered American cryptology. Ann Caracristi, Polly Budenbach, Sally Botsai, Dorothy Blum, Maureen Baginski, Elizabeth Friedman to name a few. Great women who will not be forgotten.

Senate Democrats are considering voting NO or delaying every Trump nominee as retaliation for his overreach on ending USAID. Smash the RT if you SUPPORT this plan. ZERO votes from Democrats!!

UPDATE: 8 Dems voted today to confirm yet another Trump nominee during Musk's coup: Bennett (CO), Gallego (AZ), Hassan (NH), Heinrich (NM), Hickenlooper (CO), King (ME), Lujan (NM), Shaheen (NH). If you're a constituent, don't just call - write an op-ed, protest their office, make clear you care.

Russia is thrilled with Musk and DOGE’s illegal activities.

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love. I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”

Good morning and WTAF?! That our institutions allowed nameless “men in black” to take over our most sensitive payment systems because an unelected South African billionaire said JUMP is the greatest dereliction of duty bullshit ever in this country! 👇🏽 WHERE ARE THE DEMOCRATS?? 🚨FIVE-ALARM FIRE!🚨

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Spread this far an wise these are Elon’s tech guys aiding Elon…who is NOT an elected official. Deport his traitorous ass!!!

It is astonishing that mainstream media is covering this like it is a shruggie vibe 🤷‍♂️

Dear Leaders of the Free World, Fight him at every turn. Make his life miserable. Expose his ignorance and sociopathy. Oppose and condemn and marginalize him. The decent people of this nation are not with him. We stand with you. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-world...

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

Trump³⁴ says he is enacting a #TrumpTax (aka #TrumpTariffs) to stop drug trafficking Really?

Starting tomorrow, get vaccinated. Everything you can. The CDC took down their list. Use this. www.immunize.org/vaccines/vis...

Canada’s response to U.S. tariffs. Justin Trudeau's best speech. Canada will place 25% tariffs on $155 billion in US imports in retaliation for Trump tariffs. That is an addition to a nationwide boycott on all US products across Canada. #cdnpoli #tariffwar

Media purges have started. If you’re keeping score at home yes, we’re on pace with 1933 level shit and speed

This is how autocrats throughout history have endangered the people they govern by erasing factual information vital to health and well being www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

It's a tragedy.

Trump's Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy voted against FAA funding in 2019 during his time in Congress. His vote to defund the air safety agency raises questions about his current role overseeing transportation safety.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett continues to be on 🔥 #ResistTrump

Didn't we hear that media was protected from this crap just today? Authoritarian bs is coming for us all www.theverge.com/news/603532/...
