👇🏽🎯 scrap the cap

Vermont showed up—protesting JD Vance at his vacation spot after he brought shame on this country. Vance had to be moved to an undisclosed location. Dude constantly trashes blue states but thought it was a good idea to vacation in one. Maybe next time, pick a red state—or better yet, Russia!

🇬🇧🇺🇦 Keir Starmer: "My support for Ukraine is unwavering. The UK stands with you, President Zelensky."

NEW: President Donald Trump has given Elon Musk sweeping authority to overhaul the U.S. government bureaucracy and its operations around the globe. ProPublica confirmed the identities and roles of more than 20 key people affiliated with Musk.

Hey all, we've gotten a *lot* of tips since this post. Keep 'em coming. The deep-dive investigations we tend to do will often take longer to source, report, corroborate, fact-check and publish, but our reporters are hard at work following up on leads you’ve sent. Thanks for your trust in us.

House Oversight Republicans spent two years subpoenaing and deposing every person who ever had a cup of coffee with Hunter Biden over the last 20 years, but now oppose a subpoena to hear from the person really running the government who hasn’t even had a confirmation hearing.

WOOO HOOOOO! 🙏💪

Today needs more Bison

Love her.

This is a hell of a crowd size for a protest at the Treasury Department. People do not like Elon.

Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).

We need more of THIS! “Lock Him Up” (Musk)

This is what democracy looks like! We're out at Tillis' Raleigh office! @bullcityindivisi.bsky.social @democracyoutloud.bsky.social @indivisible.org @leahgreenberg.bsky.social @ezralevin.bsky.social

An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government. DOGE is not a real government agency. DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions. DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law. DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.

@raskin.house.gov: "This is a coup, which is a seizure of state power by unelected actors... In addition to everything that Trump is doing to dismantle every part of gov’t that doesn't profit him personally, we have this additional problem of Elon Musk trying to consolidate state power under him."

For the late night crowd

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

"Just one more thing. You say you're trying to save the government billions, yet you're taking $30B to blow up rockets indiscriminately. You have this crazy scheme where you pretend we're going to colonize Mars. To be perfectly frank with you, Mrs. Columbo thinks you're on drugs."

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

Ask your Representatives why unelected oligarch Elon Musk is entitled to know your Social Security number? Capitol Switchboard (202) 224-3121.

Reposting with alt text. In case it inspires anyone else out there to hold the line.

We need a group of lawyers who are willing to take every lawsuit from every fired federal employee to the max. Bury this admin in lawsuits

Dear Mexico, Canada, Panama, and Europe: 100 percent tariffs on Tesla.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Trump toilet paper is good to have around so that friends and family know, in theory, you’re not above wiping your ass with the president’s face… even if deep down you know your rectum deserves much better than to be defiled in this way.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

Inaction is not an option
