Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

I am begging every Democratic committee, PAC, and candidate to get control of your damn email program right now and stop sending tone deaf fundraising emails that have nothing to do with what's happening. Stop listening to focus groups from a month ago. Stop the 2 approved talking points.

It’s really wild how much Trump doesn’t even understand basic economics and instead is just performatively signing EOs that are meaningless. He is a figurehead head of state while Elon Musk runs the government.

i love that in addition to everything else, elon musk is the dumbest asshole on the planet

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

Elon Musk is now bragging about getting rid of the team that put together the 'Direct File' tax filing system, which allows citizens to easily file their taxes for free. Direct File is a big target of the for-profit tax prep industry including corporations like Intuit and H&R Block.

Americans asked for lower grocery prices and we’re getting more lead in our water instead. How does water that gives us cancer “make America great”?

I just had to explain to a fellow Oklahoman that social security checks weren’t welfare. If their plan was to dumb down the state, they have succeeded. I guess some of them thought that when we said DJT was going to take it away, they thought it was the same as food stamps. 😳 #fdt #educationreform

Elon Musk said that he "deleted" the Direct File system from the IRS lets people file their taxes for free in certain states. Vile man.

Good morning! Still working on plans for today, still focused on OPM. Watch this space for updates. Immediate ask: Can folks go through yesterday’s feed and add alt-text where I left it out? Thank you!

Members of Congress going into the US Agency for International Development!

Suck it, Space Nazi. #NoOneVotedforMusk

NEW: Archived tweets for Gavin Kriger, Musk's 20-something DOGE employee wreaking havoc inside USAID, shows that Kriger has retweeted multiple neo-Nazis including Nick Fuentes, leader of the so-called Groyper movement, and another popular explicit Nazi account recently unmasked by @travisbrown.dev

This would be nuts even if they were gov’t employees with clearances: “Three of the sources said the DOGE personnel wanted to gain access to security systems and personnel files. Two of those sources said also they wanted access to classified information.” www.cnn.com/2025/02/02/p...

Anyone can strike! That means #fashiondesigners, #creatives, #freelancers, #musicians alike. Thank you @jenninejacob for helping spread this important message. 🫶

Open Season.

If TikTok goes down, Meta goes down with it. Delete all Meta apps.

If we have enough money to buy another country then we have enough money to ensure nobody is homeless or goes hungry.

Hundreds of Mexican firefighters have arrived in Southern California to help combat the wildfires. Thank you, Mexico🇺🇸🇲🇽

If TikTok gets banned delete all Meta apps: Facebook, Instagram, Threads Do Not engage with social media companies who want a full monopoly on our media. We will not be governed by billionaire oligarchs. Fuck you, Musk. Fuck you, Bezos. Fuck you, Zuckerberg.

Saying “I’ll stop drinking if you let me run the Pentagon” is maybe the most alcoholic thing anyone has ever said — and a clear red flag that this Hegseth dude needs rehab now!!! www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

We tried to tell them and here we are

So predictable: tax cuts for billionaire donors; benefit cuts for people on Social Security — how the billionaires loot our country (what, not rich enough already, fellas?).

No, it shouldn’t.

I am watching with grave concern over the actions of the South Korean president to declare martial law, all because the opposition has blocked his agenda and impeached his cabinet. Democracy is under assault across much of the world. We must be on highest guard here as well as Trump takes office.

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.
