Happy one month anniversary! How y’all doin’, ‘merica?

Ok that made me laugh

Despite court orders blocking the move, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin once again froze climate funds by the EPA funding freeze.

Curiouser and curiouser

Hypocrites! Republican Senators CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT MUSK’s RAMPAGE!!

If I were the richest guy in the world I would simply not do this with your tax dollars.

It is important to celebrate the wins when we get them.🥳 President Donald Trump’s administration halted defunding the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, after Democracy Forward, on behalf of the city of Baltimore and a nonprofit, filed a lawsuit. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Saturday is Flag Day in Canada. I stand with our peaceful neighbors to the north.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Hey, @UMich students. Questions or concerns about American democracy? Come to tonight’s teach-in to learn from professors of law, political science, history, and more. 7-10 pm, Angell Hall, Aud B.

I personally will continue to use "Gulf of Mexico" because our president is a wrathful felonious nincompoop with the intellect of paramecium and I do not consent to his cartographic buffoonery

Trump's anti-EV actions and tariffs would be terrible for auto workers, says Ford CEO Jim Farley. Auto manufacturers are sounding the alarm about potential auto job layoffs if Trump moves forward with his plans ⏰

"“We can’t protect the environment and we can’t address the climate crisis if we don’t have a functioning democracy,” Sean McBrearty, Michigan state director for the nonprofit Clean Water Action, told Planet Detroit."

Mitch McConnell is 100% responsible for the destruction of the US government underway now. While it’s nice he votes w the opposition occasionally, he KNEW that refusing to convict Trump and packing SCOTUS were reckless. Now his efforts have backfired. Little f***ing late, Mitch!

“One presidential order titled ‘Ending the Weaponization of the Federal Government’ calls for weaponizing the federal government against itself. Another titled ‘Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling’ demands that ‘patriotic education’ be taught to children.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/u...

So far in the last 24 hours, Russia's gotten: - a sympathetic ear/voice installed as DNI - the release of a crime boss - Hegseth ceding Crimea to them - Trump offering a WH visit - The US acting as middleman rather than Ukraine ally

How ‘bout the White House gets funded with Trump’s salary + 15%?

“Some”?

Not @theonion.com

Egg prices are surging, gas prices are up, and planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. And this is what the White House is focused on.

This is very good - while Dems should continue to ramp up along with organizations, the citizens/taxpayers and all Americans are being harmed by Musk, and need to be represented in the courts. Thanks Rep. Raskin! youtu.be/QpvjnY56uO0

We just had the worst jobs report since Covid and it will probably be the best one we have for the next four years, BUT THANK GOD WE SOLVED THE PLASTIC STRAW ISSUE.

Good for Judge Engelmayer! He rightly saw the legal imperative of immediate relief to preserve and protect the evidence of executive branch abdication to a veritable Muskocracy. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/n...

Normalize pronouncing DOGE as DOUCHE.

No room for consumer protection in Trump world.

This is what I have to imagine is a relatively rare occurrence of Grassley receiving a letter from someone older than he is.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

With the bizarre and likely illegal DOGE acting as if it is the government, will they claim governmental immunity from civil litigation for fraud for their outrageous scheme to get federal employees to quit?

Scientists estimate that going forward with the Line 5 oil tunnel project could generate $41 billion in climate damages between 2027 and 2070. We need @biggretchenwhitmer.bsky.social and the Dept. of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy to reject the tunnel plan and shut down Line 5.

Trump is endangering our health, our safety, & our future. The American people deserve an administration that will put people over polluters.

What you see now is a suit and tie version of January 6th -Lawrence O’Donnell We are once again under attack

Musketeers injecting viruses -

Close your eyes and try to find him!

It's been weeks since I dumped Meta, months since X went into my permanent trash bin, now on to Amazon and Bezos. Can't say I have regrets. Doomscrolling is still filling my life with joy 😬

As a prosecutor, we investigated cases where bad actors left themselves a back door in govt systems. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse suggests Musk’s team could “manipulate data, steal data, and leave back doors. Your privacy gone.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/u...

Apparently protecting people is a waste of $$$ www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

ALERT TO FEDERAL WORKERS: The Thursday “deadline” set by Musk isn’t a thing. Congress hasn’t appropriated the funds to pay you what he promised should you resign by today — nor has Congress authorized anyone to threaten you with losing anything for staying on. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

FACT: The entire federal civilian workforce accounts for 4 PERCENT of the federal budget www.ft.com/content/3bb3...

It keeps getting worse:

This was the plan all along and it was out in the open! God help us www.thenerdreich.com/reboot-elon-...

🧵 @warren.senate.gov is preparing to question US Trade Rep nominee Jamieson Greer on critical trade issues during Thursday’s confirmation hearing. In a letter to Greer, Warren asked for answers on Trump’s “chaotic & haphazard” approach to tariffs and trade. #USTR
