CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

A Manhattan federal judge on Friday banned Elon Musk’s team from regaining access to the U.S. Treasury Department’s most sensitive payment and data systems until the conclusion of a lawsuit that claims the group’s access is unlawful.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

Elon Musk and his team say they have saved the government $55 billion. Their “wall of receipts” is riddled with mistakes.

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

If you are experiencing rage and despair about what is happening in America and the world right now because of the Trump-Vance-Musk regime, you are hardly alone. But a groundswell of opposition is growing. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/ten-reasons-for-optimism

listen to this. Elon can barely form a sentence right now.

NEW: As Trump attempts to remake the federal government into an instrument of destruction, we must turn to state courts as a critical defense for our civil rights, health and safety, @keiththirion.bsky.social of @afj.org argues.

Trump and Musk’s “pointless bloodbath” at the FAA is even worse than you think. The Trump administration fired several FAA lawyers tasked with helping keep reckless and drunk pilots out of the skies — and officials are baffled.

W/ Kash Patel's confirmation, he now has the power to weaponize the FBI against his so-called "enemies" Weaponizing law enforcement is a tactic used by autocrats around the globe—but Americans can push back We discuss how👇-TN www.brookings.edu/articles/dem...

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

Is it too much to ask to want the government to stop the president from doing the illegal stuff?

84% HUD staff cuts will cause irreversible harm to towns still recovering & trying to rebuild from recent disasters. Trump is giving tax breaks to his rich friends over ensuring HUD can deliver resources to you.   Hear 👏🏾 Me 👏🏾 Clearly 👏🏾    He doesn't care about you!

This is like opposing a joint resolution declaring that the Sun sets in the West America doesn’t just look like an idiot here, we look like goddamn Flat Earthers

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

83% (!!!) of Americans oppose Trump pardoning violent Jan. 6 rioters, according to a new WaPo/Ipsos poll.

The Trump administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene in a lawsuit challenging Trump's termination of the head of the nation’s top independent federal investigative and prosecutorial agency.

New accusations emerged that Matt Schlapp, the Conservative Political Action Conference chairman, had groped a man at a bar in Virginia during a gathering of conservatives.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

"Yes, the administration is violating my TRO against stopping existing grants and contracts, but I'm not holding anyone in contempt." -- Today's federal judge ruling. Because that's how authoritarianism works. www.documentcloud.org/.../25540455...

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

Maddow: All of this absolutely historically unprecedented. No president has ever come out of the gate with numbers like this ever before. And it is across the board

Trump is a pathological liar, example #8567. Yesterday on Air Force One, Trump claimed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was treated “rudely” in Kyiv and that Zelensky was “unavailable to meet him.” One problem: they met. It’s on video. WATCH.

Breaking News: The Trump administration plans to cut 84% of staff at the office that funds the U.S.'s disaster recovery, raising questions about how the country will rebuild from hurricanes, wildfires and other calamities made worse by climate change.

Donald Trump is a clear and present danger to the entire free world.
