There is no legal architecture that allows Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, to remake the entire federal government without running afoul of criminal conflict of interest laws. In other words, there's no way that his role is legal, constitutional, or compatible with democratic governance.

This level of conflict of interest and lack of transparency is unprecedented and rife with opportunity for self-enrichment. This is unacceptable.

It is okay to take time away from seeing the orange face. If you feel 🤢 of his face & voice everywhere, it is okay to turn off everything and take care of ourselves. The wealthy in power are on drugs, they don't sleep. Let them tweak. Get some rest, look after yourself 🫂

Agencies continue to suspend funding, despite multiple court orders blocking the federal freeze. Experts say the Trump administration’s actions set the stage for challenges to Congress’ authority — and the limits of the presidency.

You ever notice how people who are hateful and/or fearful are always trying to unload that hate and fear onto others? The load they’re carrying is so heavy they’re always trying to give it away. No, thanks.

It’s a long shot as of now but if they can flood the zone so can we. There should be articles for impeachment regarding every illegal thing this administration is doing.

“Democrats on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee moved to subpoena Elon Musk "at the earliest possible moment" to appear before lawmakers — a motion that failed in a party-line vote, 20-19.”

I know our country is on fire. I know Trump is bad and is doing very bad things, and I often address those things with posts and reposts. But if I post a joke about my kid or my dog or a pleasant experience at a diner, don’t scold me for not exclusively talking politics 24/7. Please just ignore me.

Ontario’s response to tariffs by cutting power makes sense politically, but don’t forget the human cost—people in 15° to -20° temps, farms at risk, and possibly months without reliable power. No work = no pay. Support the decision, but remember the people suffering. #Tariffs #HumanImpact

I want to apologize to Canadians for what’s happening. I don’t know why the orange man has decided to fuck y’all over this week but it sincerely makes me sad to see other people impacted by our stupidity. Many of us did everything we could to keep him out of the White House 💀

Gov Walz is fighting for us in Minnesota! I'm so grateful to have him as my governor! The governor's office said the freeze threatens $1.8 billion in federal funds usually allocated to the state each month. www.kare11.com/mobile/artic...

Today is the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. On Saturday, Elon Musk made a virtual appearance at a rally for the right-wing, anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany party and said that Germans need to “move on” from “past guilt." @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

So thankful that the courts stood up against the Republicans on this one. The Court said the Minnesota Constitution requires 68 members present to conduct business, one more than the GOP's 67 members holding sessions without the DFL. www.kare11.com/mobile/artic...

I don't know how you all love making videos on these platforms. I personally love captions because it's more accessible for all... however getting said captions to work with the video and match my voice is apparently well beyond my abilities. I guess I'm already too old for this modern life. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Trump supporters are already spinning excuses for why he can’t lower egg prices. Their mental gymnastics to defend his broken promises are wild. It’ll be fascinating—and tragic—to see how far they’ll go, even justifying starving to death for him. Cult loyalty knows no bounds.

Similar surveys have been done in the US in Canada. It seems like dumbing down the generations is really working to the advantage of the Nazis. The number of people who think that the Nazis only put the Jews into concentration camps is alarming.
