It’s been a long first 30 days. And there’s been a lot of bad news lately. So how about some good news for a change? There’s a shift in public opinion over Trump’s aggressive moves. Check out the evidence in my piece today: https://buff.ly/4beyVCE

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

Ex NFL player @chriswarcraft.bsky.social protesting the inclusion of a MAGA acronym in the Huntington Beach library plaque at last night’s council meeting. He was arrested and cited.

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

Looks like we have even bigger issues. Yikes—the Trump administration is becoming a Russian sympathizer, spreading misinformation about Ukraine. Trump won’t even stand up to Putin, essentially telling him, “Do whatever the hell you want.”

The resistance will bring down Musk and Trump. Congress, wake up before your power is gone. The GOP begging Trump to release money to their states is pathetic—stand up to this tyranny. Congress controls the purse strings.

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

1. The Senate confirmed RFK Jr at the same time as a massive measles outbreak was sweeping through areas of Texas with low vaccination rates. RFK Jr visited Texas yesterday. Not to address the burgeoning crisis but to continue to push anti-vaccine messaging.

Musk wants to inspect our IRS data to catch everyday Americans committing tax fraud—an overreach of DOGE’s power. Personal tax data has nothing to do with government efficiency.

“U.S. Food and Drug Administration employees reviewing Elon Musk’s brain implant company Neuralink were fired over the weekend as part of a broader purge of the federal workforce”

“We’ve been working on a plan since April 2023 that would provide solar energy to hundreds of households in two low and moderate income Columbus neighborhoods,” says Mullett. “Unless the Trump administration makes a 180-degree turn on funding, that expectation will obviously not be met.” #GreenSky

Wonder if Elon could survive a week on the salary we make. While he burns through $8 million a day, the working class struggles—yet he paints us as the enemy.

Elon Musk's DOGE website promised "receipts" for the savings DOGE has secured "no later than Valentine's Day." The Saturday after Valentine's Day, there was a new message: "Receipts coming over the weekend!" The weekend is over. Still no receipts. muskwatch.com/subscribe

These are the ads about Elon Musk that the Washington Post refused to run. The paper offered NO EXPLANATION. This is the problem with outlets that are CONTROLLED BY BILLIONAIRES focused on ingratiating themselves with Trump. Support independent media: muskwatch.com/subscribe

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

Hard repost.

So fucked up.

“When the president does it, that means it’s not illegal” — Richard Nixon, 1977 “He who saves his country does not violate any law” — Donald Trump, 2025

If you thought it wasn’t possible—well, here we are. Musk pulled $80 million in funding authorized by Congress straight from NYC’s bank account. The federal government took the funds and called it a “clawback” of taxpayer money. A lot of others would simply call it stealing.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

Some federal employees who accepted Trump’s buyout offer are now being notified that their buyout has been denied, and they are being terminated instead.

Currently reading “Just Above My Head” will read this one next. Yesterday I drew him.

We are calling for a nationwide and international boycott of all Elon Musk-related products and services. Sell your Tesla shares, avoid buying Tesla vehicles, cancel Starlink, and delete your X accounts.

Trump hiring freeze creating chaos at Yosemite National Park

BREAKING On Monday, Popular Information broke the news that the NIH had frozen virtually all grant funding in violation of 2 federal court orders On Wednesday, NIH leadership distributed a memo, acknowledging that its funding freeze was illegal and directing staff to resume issuing grants.

1. Donald Trump promised that, as president, he would drastically lower Americans' energy bills. But hundreds of Alabama residents are receiving a $100 surcharge on their energy bills as a direct result of Trump's actions in the White House.

Paul Martin, the inspector general for the USAID, has been fired after resisting the administration. Just a day ago, his office released a report warning that staff reductions and spending freezes put hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars at risk of misuse and waste. This is the way.

IMO, the Trump administration unilaterally freezing all funding for cancer research, in violation of two federal court orders, is a big deal.

UPDATE: A purge of experienced career staff has begun at NIH. The staff was just informed that Deputy Director Lawrence Tabak, who has worked at NIH for 25 years is "retiring." Grant funding remains frozen, in violation of two federal court orders.

There is a lot of talk about the Trump administration's new 15% cap for indirect costs on NIH grants, which is important, but it's all academic at this point since THERE IS NO MONEY BEING GRANTED AT ALL by the NIH right now, in defiance of two court orders

If they were able to change the Gulf of Mexico to the gulf of America that quickly… imagine what else has been changed to match the desires of the oppressors? Imagine what else has been strategically erased from our history?

This is how a democracy collapses: "A senior official at the Federal Emergency Management Agency instructed subordinates to freeze funding for a wide array of grant programs Monday, just hours after a federal judge ordered the Trump administration — for the second time — to stop such pauses."

Elon Musk is shaping government policy while his businesses profit from it. As agencies face cuts, his conflicts of interest grow clearer. This isn’t efficiency—it’s self-serving power at the expense of the masses.

What are the consequences for non-compliance, and will they be enforced?!

Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Senate Minority Leader, has launched a new online portal for individuals to report corruption, abuses of power, and threats to public safety, with the legal protections afforded to whistleblowers.

The highlight of the Super Bowl and today’s Daily Sketch subject, Kendrick Lamar.

"Kash Patel, Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI director, has come under scrutiny over his business ties, including holding stock in a group that owns Shein, the Chinese fast-fashion retailer accused of using forced labor."

1. Musk is launching a digital wallet and peer-to-peer payment services on X Meanwhile, Musk's associates have just been granted access to confidential information about X's competitors, an official at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau told Musk Watch.

Musk has immense power and is either playing dumb or has no idea what he's doing muskwatch.com/subscribe

Normalize pronouncing DOGE as DOUCHE.
