Looking for good work in comms? Pretty sweet gig with @cfaunited.bsky.social for someone who's willing to be in Sacramento. www.calfac.org/working-for-...

This shit freaks people out. Keep talking about it.

On Wednesday I was the first to report Leland Dudek was on the verge of losing his job at the Social Security Administration when he was suddenly promoted to acting commissioner by Elon Musk. Thursday I published a story with more details. I’ll let you guess if I got any credit in this Post story:

I literally reported this Wednesday.

While some Rs in safely gerrymandered districts will try to blow past this, it's no doubt having a profound impact on Rs in more competitive districts cause they are hearing this too. Lawler. Bacon. Valadao. Ciscomani among others Hopefully it stiffens the spines of Dems too

Been talking to a formerly-MAGA cousin who is absolutely distraught. Trump 16 & 20, didn't vote in 24. She works in finance. Lives in the Dallas suburbs. Texted me today to ask why people aren't in the streets demanding impeachment. Good reminder that no one is more zealous than a convert...

Not surprised, just incensed — and I think this niggardly comment is all I feel like saying.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Note to any potential Starlink customers: Elon Musk will extort you if given the opportunity.

This is so grotesque. Using Musk’s DOD fueled private company to pressure an ally to capitulate to our blackmail to benefit Putin.

How many paragraphs do you think @apnews.com writes before mentioning that the white 3-Star General Trump plans to install (after firing the Black 4-Star Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) isn't even legally eligible for the job? apnews.com/article/trum...

Shutting down chargers that are already installed isn’t policy. It’s vandalism. electrek.co/2025/02/21/t...

The beautiful thing about the Tesla hate is that it's entering the bloodstream of the culture. The protests, the nasty looks, giving people the thumbs down, it's all sinking in. For example... theneedling.com/2025/02/14/t...

300 people showed up outside of Murkowski & Sullivan's offices. On a Thursday. In February. In Anchorage, Alaska! Alaskans are taking a stand and demand our elected officials to do the same. We don't expect you to save us but we do expect you to STAND WITH US! In-person town hall anyone??

That's H.Y.D.R.A. and S.P.E.C.T.E.R. they just described the Nazi movement within the Nazi movement led by the Red Skull that Captain America fought and the terrorist organization led by Blofeld that James Bond fought. The positive spin is that they're a supervillain threat

Trump take insulin

"They are laying the groundwork for denying benefits to anyone they want to punish or deem unworthy—or indeed, any one of us." - Nancy Altman, President of Social Security Works

politics don't just stop because nobody voted for you, the legislature can't stop you, and you are ready to destroy the constitution rather than submit to the judiciary

The world's richest man has mounted a hostile takeover of the US government while normal people are making a guy who assassinated an insurance CEO into a folk hero. I don't presume to tell the billionaires about history but Louis XVI might have a few words of warning about the direction of things.

Hello friends. I know times are dark but it is incredibly important not to lose hope. And, this week there are signs of hope and it paramount we recognize that hope, not let up and build. A thread on this if I may. You may appreciate this on a Friday. Come along with me. 🧵 (1/10)

Don't buy swasticars, delete Paypal, delete Xitter. Don't give nazis your money!

Keep defending your public services!

I’m not a superstitious man but I do believe that history hates subtext. and if I were Trump I probably would not go see the J6 choir perform in a building named for the last assassinated President.

Keep it going! #TeslaTakedown
