Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

If Joe Biden said this, the entire Republican Party would be yelling about Munich/1938/appeasement, & it would prompt nonstop front page headlines about whether he was mentally unfit to be president.

This is extraordinarily dangerous. Tomorrow, the legacy media will ask Republican officials about this. Those officials will lie and obfuscate. And the legacy media will move on. That is part of the crisis we face.

It’s not what Trump posted that tells you where this is going; it’s how his people are responding to it that really tells you where this is going.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

We cannot ignore how shockingly abnormal it is for a private citizen — who himself has contracts with the federal government — to dispatch a private army of executives, data experts and recent high schoolers to dictate policies to federal agencies. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/elon...

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

@Wired has been the Woodward-Bernstein of this moment. (Among diffs from that era: GOP then had Sens/Reps who would stand up to prez. Ditto that era's SCOTUS, with six GOP appointees. Still ruled unanimously that Nixon did not have absolute right to withhold WH tapes from Congress. Quaint!)

1/2 A reminder about the BS, now repeated by Rubio, on Chinese "control" in Panama. —The second-most-significant increase in PRC influence in Panama came 8 years ago. That was when Panama switched diplo recognition from Taiwan to PRC. US prez at the time was Donald Trump. Who DID NOT SAY A WORD.

1. Show up. Go to the places Musk is taking over, bring cameras, demand to find out what's going on and where it breaks the law. 2. Refuse to allow standard business to continue unimpeded. Deny unanimous consent, delay votes, etc. 3. Be public about how illegal all of this is 4. Lay out a plan

One thing for Senate Democrats to do is announce they will use every tool at their disposal to block Bondi’s nomination until DOJ appoints a special counsel (ideally with beefed up firing protections) to investigate the widely reported crimes committed this week by Musk and his band of DOGE goons.

Just a reminder that Musk couldn’t get a top level security clearance. And he was under investigation for violating the terms of the clearance he did have. Now he has your Social Security number, your tax returns, and is unilaterally deciding who the government does and does not pay.
