DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

What Musk is doing to the federal government in the name of "efficiency" is like if you took your aging car to the mechanic because the left turn signal was busted and it needed an oil change...and then the mechanic just sent the car to the junkyard to be totaled without telling you.

Abolishing the Department of Education will further decimate rural schools... And, for what? The Dept of Ed does not write curriculum -- that is done at the local and state level. The funding from the department mostly supports economically disadvantaged school systems. The poorest schools...

In 1776, Patriots rallied around the cry “No taxation without representation!” Fast forward 250 years, and the billionaire class has achieved the opposite: representation without taxation. Elon, Zuck, Bezos, Thiel, Crow, and the rest of that craven lot can go fuck themselves—on Mars.

And everyone who said it’s not about race. The fact that the very first moves of Trump/Musk were to dismantle racial integration efforts (yes this is what I will call DEI), and destroy USAID, an agency that helped victims of South African apartheid. This is White Supremacy 4.0 in action.

If there’s anything we learn from the history of authoritarianism, it’s that once the authoritarian achieves small goals like purging the civil service & installing loyalists, they always just stop there and don’t go any further. Wait, hang on, I may not have read that book the whole way to the end.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

We’ve always known that, with Trump, cruelty IS the point, but JESUS CHRIST! He and Leon are literally killing people with their USAID fuckery, and damaging the US’s reputation for a generation in the process. Xi and Putin have to be loving this shit show.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

When Trump imposes tariffs on Colombian coffee, Colombian flowers, Colombian bananas and pineapples and avocados, on Colombian oil, it's us Americans who will pay those added costs. We're not even a week into Trump's term and he's already imposed a brand new tax on all of us.

One of America's most famous cities is on fire and the richest man in the country hasn't paid a penny to assist people whose lives have been destroyed by the fires. He has, however, been busy spewing disinformation and encouraging people to loot. Because worthless trolls are like that.

I don't really use TikTok that much, but I find it fascinating that our government is on the verge of banning an app for national security reasons that are still unclear in the same week that Meta, the largest social media company, says it's now fine to hate LGBTQ people and call us mentally ill.
