Unelected billionaire Elon Musk attacks social security, which keeps millions of seniors out of poverty, as “the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time” The heartlessness is limitless Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGpEHMK...

Today was a grim, terrible day for the United States and the cause of democracy. Putin, along with other dictators around the world, can finally look at Trump with confidence and think: one of us. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Senate Republicans once again showed us their true colors last night. They want to pay for tax breaks for their rich corporate friends by defunding your Medicaid and Medicare. Unreal.

Hundreds of employees at the 1,800-person National Nuclear Security Administration were fired on Thursday. Many of them described the situation as a “national security crisis.”

Where. Is. The White House Press Corps?

This says it all

Musk's censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by about 95% since he bought it. So we moved over to blue sky. Help us build another great following right here where the skies are clear and the water is fine ;-) Please do Follow Retweet & repeat

Why does the world's richest man want to gut the CFPB? Because it would shield him from having to follow financial laws to keep customers' money safe — and give him access to confidential records about his competitors. Follow the money.

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

“Why do I need NOAA? I’ve got a weather app.” Is equivalent to asking “Why do I need farms? I can go to the supermarket.” www.noaa.gov/about-our-ag...

Ketchup On Walls Alert: HIGH

An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government. DOGE is not a real government agency. DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions. DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law. DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.

This would be nuts even if they were gov’t employees with clearances: “Three of the sources said the DOGE personnel wanted to gain access to security systems and personnel files. Two of those sources said also they wanted access to classified information.” www.cnn.com/2025/02/02/p...

This is how the Muskification of the U.S. Government is taking place. Lights out, before our very eyes. www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

Never forget that Elon Musk also hates women This is from yesterday

Everything Zuck said in his statement is disturbing and disingenuous.

Here they come: theins.ru/en/news/277378

Honestly, if you don’t start an interview about Greenland, Panama, etc with “This is unhinged, but…” what are you even doing?

Sadly, many young people aren’t really aware of his work after the presidency. I’m glad he is being celebrated for his lifetime of service.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result is demagoguery and corruption.

Elon showing who’s in charge even before Trump takes office.

Whoa—the Montana Supreme Court holds that its state constitution protects the right to "a stable climate system," and strikes down a law that barred consideration of greenhouse gas emissions when permitting new fossil fuel projects. juddocumentservice.mt.gov/getDocByCTra...

Elon Musk's charitable foundation ballooned to $9.5 billion in assets last year while handing out $237 million in gifts, most of which went to other entities controlled by him. The figures are part of the Musk Foundation’s latest tax filing, obtained Thursday by Bloomberg News

NJ passes a law preventing cranky fucknuts from going apeshit on school libraries and librarians. www.nj.com/politics/202...

A statement from The Onion about InfoWars.

This is very very bad

Here’s the report from several years ago. www.schatz.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

No matter how demoralized we are in today's America, I'll always have this selfie of me meeting Jane Goodall.

It's not every day that an FBI Director-to-be lays out his plans in an easily accessible book. But QAnon-supporting Kash Patel is not a regular guy. Read about all of his plans in our summary of Patel's book: Government Gangsters: The Deep State, the Truth, and the Battle for our Democracy.

Today, the right-wing media sets the news agenda in this country... Even the mighty New York Times follows in its wake, aping the tone they set disturbingly often. newrepublic.com/post/188197/...

The handwringing lectures about how the left has no choice but to stay on Twitter are even more ridiculous when you remember that the far right used a series of alternative media — from direct mail to talk radio to Fox News to Breitbart to Gab, Parler and Truth Social — as their path to victory.

And we already knew it didn't work 50 years ago. From a 1972 study: "In fact, the 'trickle down' theory of development-whereby the poor supposedly benefit from overall economic growth or policies benefiting the rich-is proving utterly inadequate."

If you’re surprised, you haven’t been paying attention.

"Mr. Kushner, 70, pleaded guilty in 2004 to 16 counts of tax evasion, a single count of retaliating against a federal witness and one of lying to the Federal Election Commission" and so now he will be US ambassador to France www.nytimes.com/2024/11/30/u...

the shock wore off by now and I’m getting around and living my life normally, but I truly just can’t believe yet that we’re doing this again

The thing about DOGE is they aren't gonna come close to that $2 trillion cuts goal but they are gonna make a big list of everything wealthy conservatives hate, like a consumer protection agency with teeth and independence.
