This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't. They chose instead to provide cover by calling it "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm." Now the sieg heil salute has been normalized. The ADL literally had ONE JOB.

Let's be clear: CQ Brown was fired because Trump and Hegseth couldn't see past his skin color. General Brown has 40 years of distinguished service. Trump and Hegseth just want yes men who look like them. This is destabilizing for our nation.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Believe people when they tell you who they are. Democratic governors need to get tight with their state's National Guard leaders, the party needs to form a shadow government and people need to get mentally prepared. We all sound like lunatic preppers, but Trump isn't joking.

Teamsters represent 2,000 federal workers and tens of thousands of public sector workers whose jobs depend on federal money. Sean O'Brien isn't just a class traitor, he's a traitor to his own members. He should not be welcome in any labor space.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

On climate protest, a superb point from @richarddenniss.bsky.social. If protest wasn't effective, govts wouldn't try to ban it. And as much as politicians like to talk about parliamentary logjams, as soon as fossil capital is threatened, they mobilise with extraordinary rapidity and efficacy.

Reminder -- the USPS is still delivering free tests, at least for now. If you haven't claimed yours in a while, you're probably eligible again. I just put in an order for our household: special.usps.com/testkits

Should a "kid" be given admin privileges to the Treasury payment system? Does a long history of promoting racism and eugenics show someone to be a "bad dude"? Everybody knows the answer to both, as does Vance. Hence his post: it's vice signaling, a core tenet of MAGA.

The funds have already been obligated — and Trump’s attempt to block the dollars gives blue states standing to file _another_ suit against the administration’s extralegal rampage.

Op-Ed: Travis Kelce decided to reinforce the status quo by saying it will be an “honor” to have Donald Trump watch him play in the Super Bowl. But now is not the time to show respect to the office of the President of the United States as he does not seem to respect many of the citizens he governs. ⤵️

I am no American exceptionalist but there’s something about having an agency trying to do good in the world outside of our borders and the thought of thousands of people devoting their lives to that cause…and now it’s just over. We’re abandoning communities, people, our morals. It’s just so, so sad.

What’s happening right now is unprecedented, dangerous, and ultimately so far beyond anything approaching acceptable that there’s only one real option for congressional Democrats. Not a single vote for anything. Nothing. No more uc’s. No more votes for noms. Nothing. This has to stop.
