But, most people have no idea what it means to "lose Democracy." That is not the message. The consequences of losing Democracy is the message.

The more I think about it, the more I think Sen. Schumer made the best of all bad decisions available.

Sen. McConnell, you have one last chance. Tell an independent news organization everything you know before it is too late. McCarthy and Ryan, same to you. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017... www.axios.com/2023/02/18/g...

I think that the messaging is wrong here. Go out on the street in a swing state and ask 10 people what oligarchy means? I love this frame: "Only FDR understood ‘my boss is a son-of-a-bitch’" 1/ blogs.lib.unc.edu/ncm/2013/03/...

Baseball media: if you do not loudly report on this I do not want to hear a goddamn thing from you about Jackie Robinson on April 15. bsky.app/profile/fbih...

Trump Halted an Agent Orange Cleanup. That Puts Hundreds of Thousands at Risk for Poisoning. The funds for this were in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020... Signed by Donald Trump on December 20, 2019. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Sent Schumer may have been right. This is the fact sheet from a previous government shutdown. The courts would have shut down after a few weeks. And, if an executive branch attorney (Trump's attorney), we're laid off due to it, any case would be suspended until after.

If I was a billionaire, I wouldn't transform the government. I would have Guns N Roses, Faith No More and Suicidal Tendencies play in my backyard every day.

Good thing Sergey debased himself going to the inauguration. I remember when he protested the Muslim ban with us in 2017. www.zdnet.com/article/trum...

Wait... President Musk says that govt workers aren't providing value?

#DearTrumpVoters, Trump really just berated Zelensky and sympathized with Putin? Is that what you voted for?

#DearTrumpVoters did you vote to have Elon Musk cut benefits to 9/11 first responders? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/n...

What is happening is obvious: open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

This is a real comment I got on a Facebook post.

Most Americans are against Trump's policies, and DOGE is the least popular federal body or department. Even lower than USAID. today.yougov.com/politics/art...

Why are the Democrats always responsible for the bad behavior of the Republicans?

Dear Trump voters, Is this what you voted for? #DearTrumpVoters

Why is Musk so interested in Govt money? He is the one that needs it.

With the current disregard for the constitution, how long before we are told we need to quarter troops?

There is an easy lens to see the actions of Pres Musk and Beta Trump. In almost every case, America's most vulnerable and our allies suffer while the wealthy, China and Russia benefit.

Never forget: Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of major government contractor SpaceX and a key ally of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, has been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin for the last two years apnews.com/article/musk...

We all just need some compassion and understanding in these difficult times... The PlayStation network is down.

Trump just sent a list of CIA personnel to Musk, who speaks with Putin regularly and has large business deals with China. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/u...

This is a war crime.

Amen: The earlier a person knows about their disorder and the risks associated with it, the better. In a way, ADHD is like diabetes, Goodman said. When it’s treated early, living a relatively healthy life is doable. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

Oh no, dude's upset because the government knows our tax info?

I suspect USAID is first because it's "foreign aid" and fewer Americans will object. But once the precedent is established, expect unilateral dismantling of domestic institutions too

This is some bulls--t

Shouldn't someone be running Tesla?

I think it’s time to impeach Musk.

Americans are about to learn some economics.

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love. I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”

Remember when we found out Musk has regular conversations with Putin? He now has access to all of your personal financial information. #DearTrumpVoters Elon Musk’s Team Now Has Access to Treasury’s Payments System www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...
