Officials Are Fired at Traffic Safety Agency Investigating Musk’s Company www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/b...

It’s not just Space X. Musk was able to save Tesla because of a loan from the Dept of Energy. Here he is in 2013 filled with gratitude for the federal agency & the taxpayers who saved his business. From reporting by @puck.news. airmail.news/issues/2025-...

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

I want to amplify this. The most important problem for the health of American democracy is the weak state of the GOP (a “failed state” of party). A much much bigger problem than the state and strategies of the Democrats. It was bad in 2016 and it’s been going in the wrong direction since then.

Every Democrat should be telling this story.

NEW: Letter from 900+ former federal prosecutors warns of decisions at Justice Dept "Some of you have been ordered to make charging decisions based expressly on considerations other than the facts & the law, including to serve solely political purposes" www.thejusticeconnection.org/wp-content/u...

You’re own your own with food safety is not a good place to be.

The Post canceling Common Cause's "Fire Musk" ad saved the org $115,000 and handed them maybe more than that in free coverage. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/b...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

The Washington Post should not have to run this ad - if you believe the reporting of the Post's own employees, "fire Elon" should be the position of the editorial board.

In a nutshell....

“For those looking to join dots, there is fodder from Musk’s early life with a neo-Nazi grandfather who moved from Canada to South Africa because he liked the idea of apartheid through his high school education in a system infused with white supremacy ideology.” www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941

It’s not what Trump posted that tells you where this is going; it’s how his people are responding to it that really tells you where this is going.

Giving permission to the worst people to do bad things.
