When billionaires start running government agencies without being elected, that’s not innovation—it’s a coup. Elon Musk’s grip on power isn’t about efficiency, it’s about control. Democracy isn’t for sale.

Remember when Trump/Musk said they cut $8 billion in spending, but really it was only $8 million. How are we supposed to trust these people when they can’t even count their zeros?

Donald Trump is calling himself King to distract you. He wants to distract you from the fact that egg prices are at an all time high, that Russia is praising him for abandoning Ukraine, and that he fired nuclear analysts accidentally. Don't let him distract you.

"Moderate" Republicans vote for Trump Nominee A after A assures them they won't do X. After confirmation, they immediately do X. "Moderate" Republicans say Nominee B assured them they won't do X. After confirmation, they immediately do X. Repeat with Nominees C, D, E, F, G, etc.

Should people have to right to lie to you about vaccines, politics, and the government? They do now, and many of them are using it to get rich quick by radicalizing their victims.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

If you’re looking for villains in the erosion of democracy, remember that the corporate media spent weeks obsessing over Joe Biden’s choice of footwear, but when Donald Trump declared that he’s above the law they basically shrugged and moved on.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

The abrupt terminations of more than 1,000 employees, including new Epidemic Intelligence Officers, across CDC are deeply disturbing. For more than 70 years, EIS officers have served on America’s front line as its disease detectives, ready at a moment’s notice to respond to emerging outbreaks.

Trump cut 1,000 jobs at the VA for disabled veterans, military spouses, and medical researchers. This means longer wait times and less care for our veterans. Absurd. Completely abandons those who’ve served our nation.

President Musk, DOGE, and their Trump want to kick 36 million Americans out of Medicaid. That's how they will help RFK Jr. to Make America Healthy Again to cut taxes for billionaires. Trump already raised insulin prices. That's just a down payment. #HandsOffMyMedicaid

BREAKING: Trump is losing support: Less than one month into the chaotic return of Trump, and these Trump-voting farmers have already had enough. If the election were held today, they would not vote for him. Make sure everyone sees this!

If a “Democrat” like Dean Phillips says anything remotely like ‘actually Elon is on to something’ at this point just turn them off. It’s been 3 weeks. If you’re too fucking stupid to see this isn’t about saving money, fighting corruption, or preventing fraud then you are clearly compromised.
