Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

I organize online, but I show up in person. We can’t just throw hot takes out on social media. We have to call, write, testify, and march if we can. Show up and they’ll know the resistance is real.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

How about we start with the low hanging fruit of helping the EPA with their efforts to remove lead pipes from our water infrastructure and filter PFAS out of driving water supplies? Or maybe look at air quality in urban neighborhood? Stuff we've been clamoring for years for?

Several red state AGs including mine are suing to dismantle 504s in schools. Please, call your reps and AGs to demand they let all children learn in public schools. The end goal is to delete all special education services. All accommodations.

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed. Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly. Yet another reason he must be rejected.

Write to your rep. Pick a topic, be to the point, tell them what you want them to do about it, even if you know they won't. They'll want to know that you are a constituent of their district unless you are sending money. You don't have to agree with them or have voted for them.

Bernie Sanders: "For Mr. Musk and his fellow oligarchs, the needs, the concerns, the pain, the ideas, and dreams of ordinary people are simply an impediment to what they the oligarchs are entitled to. And that is really what they believe -- they are entitled to all the wealth and power they have."

I’m reading about the fall of the Roman Empire. The self-dealing, the faux populism that was really all about self, the appeal of amoral rulers who pettily ridiculed opponents personally, but were liked because they were “funny” [Caligula] all mirror current Trump America. It is frightening.

Dear Senator ___, I'm alarmed about Elon Musk's influence over federal agencies. Reports indicate that Elon Musk has gained access to the U.S. Treasury's payment systems and has been involved in significant changes at USAID. This raises serious questions about national security... 1/4

These kids and Muskolini didn't "shut down" USAID and they didn't "take care of" OPM/Treasury Dept, they illegally broke into a secure facility on a weekend when hardly anyone was there, hijacked sensitive data on US citizens/businesses, destroyed govt property, and unlawfully fired Americans.
