Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

TWO DAYS AGO, a government employee declared in a court filing that Elon Musk is actually not in charge of *or* an employee of DOGE. MINUTES AGO, the President of the United States said: “I signed an order creating the Department of Government Efficiency and put a man named Elon Musk in charge.”

Here’s the pitch: They hire back the accidentally-fired bird flu folks *and* the accidentally-fired nuclear security guys BUT they put them in each other’s jobs — also by accident! It’s TRADING PLACES meets FAILSAFE meets CONTAGION — and maybe also FREAKY FRIDAY! Need a title.

Professor Mike Ramsey, a conservative originalist who has forgotten more about birthright citizenship than maybe a handful of people will ever know, absolutely devastates Wurman and Barnett’s misreading of primary sources. originalismblog.typepad.com/the-original...

“Forty-one U.S. senators could use the filibuster to block most legislation that enables the funding of Musk’s companies. With 53 Republicans, 45 Democrats, and two independents in the Senate, such a push is numerically possible, though politically difficult.“

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it. Strong power move for Team Cancer.

Snipping out this nugget to say: absolutely not. Dem cooperation on any fix for Trump's unconstitutional dismantling of agencies and suspension of funds endorses, rewards, and enables more malfeasance. Do not help the GOP out of problems they created and continue. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

All of Musk's and Trump's actions center down on cutting as much funding for cancer research as possible. Whether it's the research grants, gutting the places that do the research. The biggest moves Musk & Co have made are about cutting research for cancer cures.

Every statement Ds make going forward mentions Elon, his billionaire degeneracy and demand to rule as a tyrant. He's a nominal American who gained his citizenship by fraud. These are unAmerican values. We don't want to be ruled by kings or be slaves.
