Today GOP Rep Glenn Grothman (R-WI) held a town hall in Coloma, WI that didn't go well. Someone spoke about hasty, ill-advised Musk cuts to USAID and other agencies, using analogy of a 200-yr old oak being felled by 1 dude w/chainsaw. @maddow.msnbc.com @aoc.bsky.social @channel3000.bsky.social

UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices" muskwatch.com/subscribe

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...
