The Mad King had a bad week - the economy is slowing, inflation is rising, his poll numbers/consumer confidence are falling, cracks are appearing in his Congressional support and folks are starting to rise up against his historic betrayal of America. More 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/the-mad-ki...

I don’t know how many different ways to say that agency personnel don’t work for Elon. They don’t have to report to Elon. They report to their agency leadership, which reports to the President.

According to drumpf, Musk is doing a "heck-of-a-job, Brownie!"

A lesson in how claims of meritocracy as justification for opposing DEI are often cover for the demand that we return to a system of preference for white men - whatever their qualifications. Fire a qualified Black man. Hire a statutorily unqualified white man. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

This makes so much sense!

I replied to this last night and I'm going to send one more slightly desperate post now. My ex is really terrified of this move and this fundraiser is basically the only carrot I have. Every dollar makes it easier for me to get my trans daughter to safety before puberty. gofund.me/8664c1dc

probably fine right

Keep pushing!

An important read!

Go AZ! #TeslaTakedown

The way donny makes limp "fists" is so laughable. Not really a "fight" inspiration.

Proud to live in @kylec.bsky.social local broadcast area.

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

When he says fight, he means against the American people.

If GOP legislators would band together he couldn't pick them off one by one.

Mail-in ballots were nice while they lasted.

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

The White House has a comment line. 202-456-1111

When does it get called Treason? And who would bring charges and who would enforce it?

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the United States. It is also laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world. And the oligarchy is cheering them on. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/paying-off-putin

But Marc, it won't matter if there is no service to carry the mail!

Never more relevant. Do read.

That's a charitable interpretation. I hope you're right.

It's sad that you are correct. How can so many sociopaths conceal together in one place?

Sad, obeying in advance.

know one thing, Trump isn’t going to dig Elon’s 34% approval rating dragging his ass underwater like an anchor indefinitely. Because that anchor is firmly attached to Trump.

Math is still hard www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

NEW: Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

They are gutting services you depend on to fund Elon’s next round of tax cuts and government contracts

You are right. But it's 2025. Talking about it as if it will happen is how politics works. It also forces right wing media to talk about it and if there is enough Dem proposed legislation, Trump and Elon have to respond to the Dems rather than vice versa

WTF?

About to join @ariberman.bsky.social with @jenpsaki.msnbc.com guest-hosting on @allinwithchris.bsky.social on @msnbc.com to talk about Elon Musk trying to buy WI's Supreme Court for Brad Schimel—and how to fight back www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Yes, privatize them because adding profit on top of what it would cost the govt makes way more sense.

Forcing them to vote is good! So why not force votes on every single issue?

Cowards then. Cowards now.

Well said!

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

I'm going to make a button to wear that says this.

No I think it’s good
