It’s the same shit he pulled at Twitter, which he managed straight into the ground.

He’s completely useless. All that seniority yet does nothing with it. Doesn’t even answer mail. Time to go.

They should legislate, too. Propose stuff. Move to impeach. They won’t have the votes at first. But make Rs oppose the rule of law on the record. It’s good politics, and it’s the oath requires. There’s more to serving in a minority than sitting around whining while you wait for a majority. Come on.

As always, no proposal to do anything about it, no suggestions for any action whatsoever, just a complaint.

As well as, presumably, what you plan to do about it?

He’s extremely good at the talk. The action, sadly, is another story.

Go back to the late ‘80s interview about the Central Park Five and watch how he says, “Of course I hate these people.”
He’s just a dirty racist and Musk is too.

No idea, but I’d bet it’s just a ruse to trigger some volatility in the Treasury market and create trading opportunities for themselves and their friends who know the inside scoop. It’s all in the grift.

So we should just wait?
When is Jeffries saying he’ll propose them?

Yeah, ok, but they had to bring on sza to introduce a third note to the vocals.

He’s so wrong. Propose common-sense legislation, move to impeach, make Republicans oppose you on the record, run against them in ‘26 for opposing you. Basic stuff. Where is he?

So what’s the plan to stop it?
Complaining without proposing an answer just sucks.

Seriously, running campaigns for a once-in-a-lifetime talented Dem politician in favorable political climates does not mean every Dem should be forced to listen to you for the rest of your life.

They need the PR help these days

Kind of a ripoff though.

Whether they follow through on this or not, it’s another great trading opportunity for those with the inside scoop.

I dunno, maybe they figured if majorities in Congress couldn’t find the guts to impeach and thus honor their oath, we’d be fucked anyway.

Republicans in Congress refuse to shut this down. Dems need to keep pressing them. Make the record clear.

Exactly, what’s the plan? If you think you’re doing your job by identifying problems that everybody’s already worried about but offering fuck-all to solve them, you’re not.

Time to go, Chuck. Get out of the way and spare yourself the Feinstein/McConnell disgrace.

Thanks for pointing this out. Such an awful paper.

Not up to the task. Hate to say it.

Sadly, they know they’ll get pardoned for federal crimes, if Trump’s DOJ ever charges them, which it won’t. State criminal charges are key.

Wow, they rock!

Yet House Republicans just voted against putting a pause on DOGE Treasury access.
This is our money. Including MAGA voters’ money. And House Rs don’t want to stop an insider threat to it.
Dems in Congress need to keep pressing. Let Rs oppose them on the record until they can’t anymore.
comment in response to
post
Thank you very much for trying.
Thank you for putting the Republicans on record for opposing you.
Much more of this from your Dem colleagues, please!

Totally agree on the process. And it’d never work bc there’s no coherent policy defense for this or anything else they’re doing. Nor do they offer any. “Efficiency” is the slogan bc cutting stuff sounds efficient, at least in the short run. But the real goals are harm to people of color and chaos.

Schatz is simply kicking the ass of everyone else in the Senate right now. Mahalo!

The order this morning from the DC judge about DOGE access to Treasury payment systems — the one that’s really just an agreement by the parties but that Dem grandees have been applauding without reading it — actually identifies this guy by name and grants him read-only access to the systems.

Great work!

Mahomes to be audited, then deported.

It’s a compromise order that preserves read-only access for two Musk goons.
comment in response to
post
Sorry, but if you read it, it seems more like a compromise that both sides agreed on before the judge signed it, and it preserves read-only access for two of Musk’s goons.

Thanks for this!

Just like that electric-shock experiment with the Yale students in On Tyranny

Great advice. But the attack on Musk as “unelected” rings kinda hollow tbh. Lotsa people in government are unelected. More worrisome is that he’s breaking the law and no one’s trying to stop him.
comment in response to
post
For sure, no chance, but let’s make the Rs stand up and vote against it.
This and lots of other stuff that makes perfect sense in the real world.
And then run good people against them in ‘26.
LFG!
comment in response to
post
Maybe not quite impeachable, but you could make a decent case for it, and it’d be way stronger than what the Rs were chasing Pres Biden about. Gotta win the House in ‘26!
comment in response to

Elected or unelected, the point is he’s breaking the law. With no consequence.

Kinda small bore, no?

If this is now “post-Constitution,” then the blue states should be outta here.

Are we allowed to hope the military has a plan to stop him?
comment in response to

100%. He’s playing God, mocking everyone not as rich as he is, and acting out some weird childhood vengeance on people of color, all while helping Putin. Trump’s in on the game but just parading around on TV while Musk swings the sledgehammer. Other Rs can’t defend it, but won’t dare object.

Please do something to solve these problems. At least try. Identifying them and saying how dangerous they are doesn’t really help anyone.

Does Musk go to these things? Cuz then the cops or US military would know where to go to arrest him.
