It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Maggie Haberman...known Trump sympathizer informs world that Elon's antics are to help hide just how horrible the administration ACTUALLY IS. Admitting you're using the richest man in the world as a shield to hide that you can't govern isn't nearly the flex these folks think it is...

“If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then DOGE’s tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.” www.propublica.org/article/doge...

@mehdirhasan.bsky.social1) Instead of calling hockey players, Donald Trump should go visit the families of the people who died in the largest aviation accident in nearly 16 years. 2) Bro is still babbling like a senile old man about Canada becoming the 51st state. No means no, Donald.

Sometimes I feel like cutting off Twitter and Facebook for like 2-3 weeks at the same time would do so much to start fixing the direction of the country.

Trumpists will continue to be furious at any dissent no matter how much power they steal. That’s because the administration is premised on pathological insecurity. They’re shitty people, they know it, and they will never stop resenting being seen as shitty people.

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

Russia is at its weakest in years. Putin is in a precarious situation. They are attacking western interests around the world and murdering Europeans. Why is Rubio bending a knee and showing weakness?

The naked illegality of everything is evidenced quite clearly in their refusal to formalize Musk’s role. He’s an advisor no he’s digital service no he’s a contractor no he’s a special employee. He’s President when demanding access and just a smol bean in court.

So if Musk doesn’t run DOGE, and DOGE isn’t a real government agency, then no one has to listen to Musk or do what the DOGE bros tell them to do, right?

I agree that “low information normies” are the big swing group. They were won mostly because they were sold on who to hate/blame. We can do the same. The people to hate/blame are Trump & Musk. They’re extremely hateable!

This is absolutely insane. They want to be able to see our tax records. Why? What purpose does this serve? Search our history so Elon can post about it? Attack their enemies? This is a five alarm fire! 🔥 wapo.st/3QizwcN

Elon Musk is an idiot on an almost inconceivable scale. He had his high-school toadies pull a random list from a database he doesn’t understand, and on that basis alone decided that 60 MILLION SOCIAL SECURITY ENROLLEES, out of 72 million total, are fraudulent. 83% fraudulent!

One of the greatest tricks that Donald Trump and Elon Musk ever pulled is to convince millions of people that DOGE is about government efficiency. It's about narcissistic, resentful destruction: The Death of Government Expertise. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Is Elon a govt employee? If he is, he needs to be held responsible for the intense and number lies he is putting out with constant “if true then…” If he isn’t then he needs to get the hell away from my govt.

Really is it so hard to see the political value of "Trump just wrecked your local schools and universities by illegally withholding payment" or "Trump just fired thousands of veterans for no apparent reason" or "Trump just released your SSN and financial data to a bunch of 20-something Nazis"?

Literally for the next two (four) years every Democrat can begin their sentences with, “The richest man in the world decided…” The question is, will they? 🤔

Musk is acting like he runs the U.S. government—but the Constitution does not allow an unelected super-president We’re taking him & DOGE to court to impose consequences I’ll discuss tonight at 6PM ET on @msnbc.com w/ @jonathancapehart.bsky.social

Trump never fit into New York Society, so New York became his enemy. Then Trump was rejected by America in 2020. Trump doesn’t want revenge against his political opponents. He wants revenge against America. This is the only way to clearly understand Trump’s actions to destabilize America.

Under no circumstances should Democrats work with Republicans for the next two years. This might be a hot take and a Valentine's Dinner solo with bourbon take. But F them. They don't give a damn about democracy or the constitution. So figure this shit out alone. DO NOT HELP THEM. PERIOD

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.
