New on MSNBC: Elon Musk has sent out an email giving federal employees just over 48 hours to explain their job. The actual subject line: "What did you do last week?" Musk said online that not responding will be considered a resignation.

This is Musk's work and he should be explaining it to all of us. Or better yet, just shutting everything down and getting out of DC. What a wonderful silence that would bring.

Here’s what is going on. When you start firing the military’s top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to do.

Last month, I talked to Mark Dimondstein, the president of the American Postal Workers Union. He warned me that this could happen following Trump's efforts to privatize USPS during his first term. This not only threatens workers—people rely on USPS for essentials like medicine.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.

How can we know that Trump works for Putin? 1. He calls democratically-elected Zelensky a dictator, but he has never called true dictator Putin that. 2. He calls for elections in Ukraine, but not in Russia. 3. He wants to impoverish Ukraine & enrich Russia, etc.

It's no coincidence that Musk's companies are soaring in value as the regulatory agencies that were investigating or suing them are being gutted. The DOGE agenda isn't about "efficiency" — it's about Musk freeing himself from any accountability so he can line his pockets.

You are right. But it's 2025. Talking about it as if it will happen is how politics works. It also forces right wing media to talk about it and if there is enough Dem proposed legislation, Trump and Elon have to respond to the Dems rather than vice versa
