"Shortly after becoming CEO of a cash-strapped Tesla in 2008, Musk fought hard to secure a low-interest loan from the Energy Department...holding daily briefings with company executives about the paperwork and spending hours with a government loan officer." And now he hates government.

Adjectives I like…

"The catch is that in order to get attention, you have to be terrible. You have to lie or embrace evil. In the attention economy there is enormous demand for civic blasphemy. What’s hard is getting attention for messages about truth, or virtue, or love."

I feel like this tweet did not get enough attention this week

BREAKING NEWS: Democratic Marine and Navy Veteran JoAnna Mendoza announces she’s running to flip Arizona’s 6th Congressional district from Red to Blue. And the best part? She can win. Blast this to space and watch her video so can take over this pivotal seat!

Along with publicly sharing classified information, Hegseth is also running the military with his family members

NEW! The Trump administration appears to have sent a married father with NO CRIMINAL RECORD in any country to rot in a prison in El Salvador because of a PAPERWORK ERROR. This man doesn’t even have tattoos! But his paperwork has two different peoples’ ID numbers listed and the wrong last name!

Elon Musk takes $8 million a day from the federal government—your tax dollars—while doing zero philanthropic work. No giving back to society. FOCUS: gutting jobs in the most ruthless way possible. Hoarding wealth, boosting Nazis, and leaving folks terrified about their future.

Yep

Is this post PRESIDENTIAL????

Trump is trying to strip the bargaining rights of roughly 1 million unionized federal workers. He claims it's a matter of "national security." Rubbish. Organized labor is standing up to Trump's authoritarian power grab. Tyrants will do anything to crush dissent.

Imagination is its own form of courage

I'm sure Putin and his pals had a huge laugh as he ordered this.

So far, the admin has removed #immigrants who’ve lived & worked in the country for decades, those who are married to U.S. citizens, and individuals in the process of renewing their #visas. Immigration Activist in Grim Sign for Future. #ICE agents detained Jeanette Vizguerra outside her job.

Our last American president, @JoeBiden, asked the central question very clearly last year: "Is democracy still America's sacred cause? This is not rhetorical, academic or hypothetical. Whether democracy is still America's sacred cause is the most urgent question of our time."

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.

I went to a Trump rally where people called Biden a pedophile. DeSantis's team called people who opposed their bill groomers. Nancy Mace accused trans people of being sex creeps. All the while, the Trump administration is asking for leniency for an alleged sex trafficker. www.ft.com/content/3f95...

Oh how I love this!!

Exactly 😡

Hey DOGE bros - found some of that wasteful spending you were looking for. How many gov employees could have kept working and feeding their families with the estimated $2.5M this stunt cost?

Excellent description of today’s MAGA-Republican Party. They’re not capable of empathy or compassion. It’s all about the cruelty with them. They give themselves tax breaks while simultaneously cutting key benefits for the American people. It’s shameful and it needs to end.

ZELENSKYY: The risk that Russia will occupy Europe is 100 percent WELKER: If the US pulls out of NATO, Russia will occupy Europe? ZELENSKYY: Yes

“So Elon Musk killed this program for disabled kids (illegally) because it included the word ‘transition.’ It helps them to transition from high school to work.” H/T @palafo.bsky.social, who posted the above on another platform.

The United States has a Trust responsibility to Native American Tribal Nations. Treaty law is law. Even thinking of cutting funding to the Indian Health Service, which is already underfunded and understaffed, is beyond the pale. Only a worm-eaten brain would ever suggest such a thing. #resist

Our system was not designed for a party system in which one party can gain control of all three branches after having radicalized against democracy, having lost all sense of shame about telling easily disprovable lies, and having built a hermetically-sealed media environment for their supporters.

Run for something!

In 1973's Roe v. Wade, SCOTUS said that women's constitutional rights include abortion rights. In 2022, corrupted SCOTUS overturned this almost 50 year precedent, as if their own beliefs are more important than your bodily autonomy! Speak out! http://dlvr.it/TJ19ZT

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.  It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

People‼️ We have an opportunity to resist on April 1st, 2025. Dems 215 GOP 217 💥3 seats up💥 If Dems win 2 seats, no more Speaker Johnson. 3 seat; Speaker Jefferies. Donate here secure.actblue.com/donate/gay-v... Here secure.actblue.com/donate/jweil... And here secure.actblue.com/donate/gende...

The US health department fired employees Saturday across some of its biggest agencies including Medicare, Medicaid and the FDA. trib.al/99QFCR9

I’ll just let John Lewis say it.

NLRB protects workers unionizing, investigates unfair business practices & enforces collective bargaining agreements. Felon Trump fired our General Counsel, gutting the agency's ability to function, giving businesses permission to screw over workers. http://dlvr.it/TJ1B8Y

The pope condemned the Trump administration & Vance’s portrayal of MAGA nationalism as "Christian ideals." He condemns broad conflation of undocumented status with “criminality”-a rebuke of Trumpists who call all immigrants "criminals." #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory newrepublic.com/article/1914...
