AZ AG Kris Mayes: This is a coup by Trump against our Constitution, because they are violating not only the separation of powers but also the court orders We have federal judges saying to Donald Trump and Elon Musk, “Stop this now,” and yet we believe they are violating those orders.

NEW: The email went out about 30 minutes ago.

I’m giving away these stickers tonight to whoever comments the most on my #StarterPackSaturday Pack! 🚀 Give this post a LIKE and a Repost if you say NOPE to Trump! 🚫 I want EVERYONE to Follow You! 💙

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

By voting for him you have declared how little we have in common, how small our shared ground of agreement is, and how different the visions of this nation we share. And as much as it grieves me, I’m simply choosing to believe you. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-the-peo...

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

If I had to respond to an email as a federal employee asking me what I did at work last week, I'd make sure to list all the duties I had to absorb because of mass illegal firings, followed by a description of what the EPA's Walter Peck did in Ghostbusters.

Tidbit >> In the United States, tariffs are collected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at ports of entry. The money is then deposited into the U.S. Treasury's General Fund.~ online open source. We must ask, who will be overseeing this in the Trump admin? Seems ripe for corruption.

DOGE shared its receipts — and some of them don’t match. “Everyone is very well-aware they’re repeating the wrong numbers,” said one manager at a company on DOGE’s list of cuts. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

BREAKING: A cadre of largely unidentified actors in the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are controlling major government functions with no real oversight or transparency. We're suing to force them to comply with the law and turn over records by March 10.

DOGE has come for Social Security in the U.S. That’s what right-wing populism does: it takes from the many to enrich the few. This aligns with the establishment’s interests, not against them. Solidarity with Social Security activists in the U.S. and beyond.

The Missouri GOP has an organizational membership to the He-man Woman-haters Club...

Papa Doc Musk is granted his own taxpayer-funded Tonton Macoute

From today's No Shit Department: "The lack of transparency surrounding DOGE’s presence and activities within NASA is ominous and unacceptable.”

This is going to get bad. Trump has fired top military leaders and military lawyers. This means only one thing. He wants only loyalists to do whatever he wants with the military. Only the American people can stop Trump and Musk.

Elon Musk stole the presidential election, and no one is going to do anything about it. Good job, America!

Remember six years ago when everyone said it was so out of line to call what he was doing “concentration camps”? I do. Yeah. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Folks, here’s a running short list of some of Trump’s terrible actions that are turning his voters & supporters away from him and the Republican GOP. We ALL need to dog-pile these issues, bull horn them, and remind all voters what a terrible choice he & his party was, and is! Support is eroding!

The lawyer who represented Osama Bin Laden just said there's no way they can keep representing Diddy lol

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

'Extortion, pure and simple': Onlookers shocked by Trump threat to cut Ukraine's internet www.rawstory.com/trump-zelens...

Donald Trump promised to let Elon Musk self-police his conflicts of interest. The result? Those investigating his companies have been fired. Cases against his companies have been dismissed. The corrupt self-dealing is staggering.

This is definitely tax evasion!

A woman! What a little bitch Enrique Tarrio is.

It was supposed to be a defiant return to the Capitol for Proud Boys, Oath Keepers & their far-right white extremist allies who were pardoned by Trump for their role in the insurrection. It ended w/ the arrest of Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio for assaulting a protester who got in his face.

Enrique Tarrio: King of the Grift?

Enrique Tarrio, former Proud Boys leader, was arrested near the U.S. Capitol for his role in the Jan. 6 attack. Authorities consider him a key figure in the incident. His arrest follows new charges as investigations into the Capitol riot continue to uncover more involvement.

Everyone should know that Social Security is massively efficient. It's the most efficient program we have. Its overhead is only 0.5%. Cutting Social Security staff will do nothing to improve that and only result in problems with people getting the payments they are legally owed.

"He wants above all for humanity to terraform Mars, a profoundly distant goal toward which anyone's resources could be redirected... Unless you're a very experienced rocket scientist actively at work, the little twerp actually is after your Social Security." www.liberalcurrents.com/what-do-you-...

Trump literally named as head of the Social Security administration a low level employee who was suspended and being investigated for illegally sharing classified data with Elon Musk. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Elon Musk is gaining access to sensitive personal information through the Department of Education, including Social Security numbers, tax returns, and more. An unelected billionaire has no right to exploit confidential information.

New Social Security chief was being investigated when Musk team tapped him #StopElonMusk #SocialSecurity www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

"Only 34% approve of what Musk is doing Only 26% are OK with him shutting down govt programs And a whopping 63% don’t like Musk’s marauders gaining access to federal government databases containing Social Security, Medicare and tax information" www.azcentral.com/story/opinio...

Social Security Offices are critical because many people, including the disabled, cannot actually access benefits without being in person. SSA closures led to a 16% decline in disability benefit receipt-w/largest impact on those w/moderately severe disabilities www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...

My mom helped run a Social Security field office for most of my childhood. The population that these locations serve is overwhelmingly disabled, elderly, poor or some combination thereof. That’s who they’re looking to deny services and resources.
