#Emails2DOGE

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Wrote a little something in the mighty @rollingstone.com about #TeslaTakedown. In anticipation of our upcoming second weekend of protests! Join or create an event for ANY day and ANY country at Teslatakedown.com. Download our flyers and background to get informed and get involved!

lol come on guys

He nails it.

What's the difference between firing someone "for DEI" and firing them because they are Black?

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

Talk of a "Feb 28 Economic Blackout" is spreading on social media.

Senate Republicans just *BLOCKED* Sen. Ossoff’s amendment to protect children’s and maternal health care through Medicaid.

Always a head-scratcher when someone says they think Trump has any “business acumen”… And to use that as a basis to vote him into office a second time is like sticking your finger into the socket…a second time.

Elon Musk just had the Community Note removed from the clip of his interview with Trump that went viral on X. The note pointed out that Musk lied about having to rescue astronauts because Biden supposedly abandoned them.

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

Hey congressional Republicans, still waiting for you to announce how much you’re cutting from congress’ own $6.5 billion budget….

He's mad his lies about Ukraine were fact-checked by his own website so he wants to change the fact-checking system

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Yo DOGE, Found your waste! 👇🏼

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

They’re going to try and prosecute their political enemies

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

The report suggests overpayments on social security were about 1% from 2015-2022 despite a flawed database. When will Republicans show the same passion in going after the fraud and abuse of tax evaders and cheats including multinational corporations? www.newsweek.com/social-secur...

I’ve met with President Zelenskyy and members of his government. They are strong, honorable allies. Minnesota stands with the people of Ukraine as they fight to defend freedom and democracy. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Shocked, I tell you. www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Show of hands: Who wants the USA to support Ukraine in its effort to keep its rightful borders and defeat Putin and Trump’s land-grab?

Dark Pence is back.
