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.

How are other members of the media not supporting @apnews.com - the president is not a king. This is a democracy and free press. Band together and stop giving the narcissist any coverage.

State AGs are looking for federal workers who have just been illegally fired to stand as litigants in a new lawsuit trying to freeze further action by DOGE. DM me if that’s you and you’re interested and you’re live in one of the following states: NM, AZ, CA, CT, MD, MI, MN, NV, OR, WA, RI, or VT.

It was cold, but with hundreds of friends, we chanted, held signs and stood up against Trump/ Elon. We started at the Bean with the 50501 group, then marched to Trump tower and met up with other protest groups. #50501movement #notmypresidentday

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.

Kudos to @issarae.bsky.social and all others pulling out of Kennedy Center positions and events. Sad to see this amazing institution wither under the narcissist in chief.

While Musk runs the country, Trump had a productive weekend naming himself Chair of the Kennedy Center, picking the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl, canceling pennies, demanding Google Maps rename Gulf of Mexico, invited only White immigrants from Africa, and saved plastic straws.

White House reporters need training in asking questions. Not “is Elon Musk doing a good job?” Ask “how and why does Musk have the power to control Treasury?” Damn! FFS!

To every Senate Dem: Shut it the fuck down. Trump’s unconstitutional chaos will kill people. 1️⃣ Oppose all nominees until OMB reverses the freeze. 2️⃣ Deny Unanimous Consent to slow Senate proceedings. 3️⃣ Vote no on all Cloture. 4️⃣ Force Quorum Calls at every opportunity. It's time to fight.
