Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

NEW: While Elon Musk and his underlings demand budget cuts and layoffs across the federal government, funding for the agency they operate — the Department of Government Efficiency — has soared to some $40 million, ProPublica found.

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

Know what belongs to you!

All of this 👇🏽

WATCH: “Finding the Money” With Elon & Trump fearmongering about the debt, it’s a good day to watch this doc (with @stephaniekelton.bsky.social ) — the way we look at our national debt is wrong. We are not broke. They are missing half the picture. Link: findingthemoney.vhx.tv/products/fin...

“Democrats seem to be waiting for Trump, Musk, and MAGA to naturally become unpopular, instead of working overtime to make them unpopular. We can’t wait. We need a unified, aggressive, and creative opposition in this country.” Read more from @leahgreenberg.bsky.social and @ezralevin.bsky.social. 👇

I recorded I quick video explaining a broader strategy for #TeslaTakedown, why Elon Musk and his empire are so vulnerable, and how attacking Tesla can get dramatic results. If this video helps you see the opportunity to hit back, please share it with as many people as you can! youtu.be/L-Imw_s1aaI

We've arrived at the point where most predictions in THEY KNEW have come true and folks can respond to "But no one could have known!" by waving THEY KNEW in their face

An important point to keep in mind.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

So many truths in this one statement.

I’m doing my part !

Anyone need help connecting the dots? Here it is 👇🏽

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

truth bomb: “Most glaringly, our institutions have no meaningful defense against Musk’s assaults.”

Monday mood on a Thursday

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth. The divestment movement weakened apartheid South Africa. Let's do that again. slate.com/business/202...
