It seems to me that if Musk has proof that millions of social security checks have gone out illegally to dead people, he should be presenting that evidence in front of a grand jury under oath tomorrow instead of shitposting it on social media. When can we do this under oath?

They killed off Consumer Financial Protection Bureau because it was too effective at protecting the public from unscrupulous, opportunistic conmen like Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

The position of the Trump Admin is that the only people on earth subject to repression by their own government sufficient to qualify for asylum in the US are White people in South Africa. I’m pretty sure they will open it up to Norway next week

Not a coincidence that the thing on the right happened right after the thing on the left came out.

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202. I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

#JDVance #MikeJohnson #ChuckSchumer #ChuckGrassley This is unacceptable!!! This man has no business at all at any government agency. He was not elected or nominated to any official position. He should be arrested for theft of personal data & apparently tax dollars!

Very important from @alisonmgill.bsky.social: All federal employees need to understand the grievance process if you’re placed on administrative leave other otherwise targeted by the administration. There is a limited window for you to act, so please read this great guidance about how to proceed.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk believe their power is unchecked and unaccountable to Congress and the courts. The scary thing is at this point I’m not sure they’re wrong.

For everyone who voted for Trump because “he’s not a politician”… I hope your next colonoscopy is done by a plumber.

I’m really shocked that when Trump threatened Putin with tariffs earlier this week and gave him a very stern warning on Truth Social that he didn’t stop the war immediately. I assume that Trump does have some other plan. Maybe Catturd can make a threatening meme for him to post.

If you are looking for the guardrails on MAGA extremism, it does not reside in government institutions or norms. It won't be found in legacy media newsrooms where both-sides journalism is the order of the day. Nor will you find courage in the boardrooms of large corporations as they bow to Trump.

Holy f*ck! Just days after his Nazi salute seen around the world, Elon Musk is speaking at an AfD rally about “German pride”, warning against “multicultural delusion”, and telling them not to feel guilty about the “sins of their great grandparents”.

The U.S. Air Force has removed a video about the Tuskegee Airmen from its basic training curriculum at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland following Trump’s executive order banning federal DEI initiatives. The Tuskegee Airmen were pioneering Black pilots renowned for their service during World War II.

Worth noting that McConnell refusing to whip votes to convict Trump at his impeachment trial (or vote himself to convict) is why we’re now in a position where Hegseth is the Defense Secretary. If McConnell is looking for the person at fault, he might want to consult a mirror.
