Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

One of the first targets here will almost certainly be blocking the mailing of abortion medications like mifepristone. If I'm right, it'll be a the biggest blow to reproductive freedom since the repeal of Roe.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Trump’s job approval is down to just +2.5 in 538’s average today. Generally speaking the narrative that he is a popular president with a “mandate” for policy change is not true, especially in comparison to historical POTUS approvals https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/approval/donald-trump/

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

Trump and Musk have market sharks’ views of the US—they have no interest in our long term fate. They just want to suck out whatever value they can before they take their profits and move on. They’re corporate raiders doing a hostile takeover and selling the assets off bit by bit.
