This is what our Transportation Secretary was doing yesterday as planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. I cannot remember a more dangerous time to fly and yet this reality TV actor-turned-Cabinet Secretary is busy watching cars drive laps at the Daytona 500.

What a coincidence that: 1. Trump announces the creation of a Sovereign Wealth Fund. 2. He wants 50% of Ukraine’s minerals. 3. Tried to have Z transfer it into a ‘Reconstruction Develop Fund’. 4. Head of Russian Sovereign Wealth Fund is part of the delegation meeting with Rubio in Saudi Arabia.

No one in Republican world seems to have a lot of curiosity about why Musk needs people’s personal data to engage in government cost cutting

Proud to stand with the workers at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The CFPB has returned over $21 billion back to taxpayers since its creation in 2011 and Trump shut them down. Let them work!

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID! Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

As much as half the government’s nonmilitary real estate holdings are set to be liquidated, a move aimed at closing offices, increasing commute times, and pushing workers out. Elon Musk’s ultimate goal for DOGE has become clear: “replacing the human workforce with machines.”

Where did DOGE's recruits come from? Here's what we've discovered. In late 2024, a group of young software engineers fanned out across online chat groups and Discord servers. At least three were associated with Palantir or its cofounder—and Musk ally—Peter Thiel.

Stopping the Trump-Musk assault on constitutional democracy & the rule of law is the only thing that should matter to Democrats now. Fighting back, not fretting about 2024, also happens to be the path to political recovery. If you agree, please share my essay. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

This tweet is setting up the Trump administration to thrust the U.S. into a constitutional crisis and obliterate our system of checks and balances as we know it.

Come ON. You fight unconstitutional moves even if the target is unpopular because the next target will be for something even bigger and more important. And because many innocent people will die.
