This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

this is an act of unspeakable violence. it benefits no one, it doesn’t move a number on a balance sheet. it only guarantees that every one of these incarcerated transgender people will be tortured.

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

🚨Trump just fired Gen. CQ Brown and threatened more firings are coming. This isn’t strength—it’s the move of a weak, insecure tyrant. Gutting military leadership for loyalty tests puts US security at risk and sends a dangerous signal to our enemies. History will judge this—& those who stay silent.

Trump is testing the waters. If there isn't a BIG outrage from MAGA over this, he'll make bigger cuts.

Forty percent are too busy working two jobs to put food on the table for their kids to understand that what their government is doing will hurt them. The 40% will lag but will eventually turn when they are personally hurt.

I'd love to see the same poll done on Musk. It would be much worse.

This guy is too much of a chicken to stand up publicly to a guy who he privately described as a "moral disaster" or to defend his own wife's honor from a punk who works for Elon and said we should "normalize Indian hate". Obsequious, snivelling, Vancely cowardice is the opposite of masculinity.

If you aren't following Governor Pritzker, you should be. The governor is doing what EVERY OTHER DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR should be doing: speaking the truth away from social media without an invitation and unflinchingly resisting the Trump monarchy. Thank you Governor Pritzker.

The Department of Education impacts students' lives every single day. Eliminating it would cause chaos, especially for students with disabilities. Trump’s plans can be summed up by one word: cruel. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

That’s the ticket. Show up in court, with your Bar licenses on the line, and answer a judge’s pointed and specific questions on how this deal went down.

Trump’s executive orders are not law. This doctor knows it. Many hospital systems know it. Those that comply with something not passed by congress and with power not constitutionally granted to the president are cowardly.

Genuine legal question: Why has no lawyer tested whether Elon is government or not with a lawsuit about his many false claims? He is slandering people and it is losing them their jobs. Sure, maybe he's protected as DOGE. But that would have massive implications for 1A claims Re Xitter.

Lowering interest rates and slapping on tariffs sounds like a quick fix, but it’s a recipe for chaos. Lower rates could fuel inflation, while tariffs just jack up prices for consumers. It’s like throwing fuel on a fire and hoping it doesn’t spread.

"[For the Right], D.E.I...is the mere presence of a woman or nonwhite person or disabled or transgender person in any high-skilled, high-status position. And their alternative isn’t some heretofore unknown standard of merit; it is the reintroduction of something like segregation." (gift link)

Make the Trump Administration, Elon Musk, and his “DOGE” bros prove that they are in compliance with the existing federal court orders. Put some teeth on these court orders. Non-compliance=contempt of court

The suggestion that Leon & his pubescent posse are showing up at Gov’t institutions & within hours identifying & responsibly cutting waste in specialties that he has no background or understanding is PREPOSTEROUS. He’s not cutting waste- He’s destroying our institutions & stealing your info.
