BREAKING: Elon Musk tries to get Verizon's FAA contract canceled -- so that he can give the $2.4 BILLION contract to his Starlink company Musk is literally going into the government -- and pocketing billions for himself MASSIVE conflicts of interest -- 100% ILLEGAL

GOP reps love your vote, but not your voice. They’re dodging town halls faster than Trump dodged the draft. Demand answers! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/run-for-of...

NEW: I just asked Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett if she had a message to Elon Musk. What would she say to him? Here was her answer: “Fuck off.”

Be sure you share this news with everyone you know. Most of the "savings" DOGE claimed were fake, made up, or they got it wrong, and DOGE is quietly deleting the claims from their website.

Remarkable resignation letter from the Justice Department's chief information officer in the immigration review division — a disabled veteran. Obtained by @propublica.org's Brett Murphy:

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives. Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

"If the GOP could pull Trump’s dick out of their mouths long enough for the oxygen to return to their brains, they might see how batshit crazy it is to run a govt like this... But that would require a spine and these Republicans have the collective courage of a baby deer caught in a 6-lane highway."

Louisiana has one of the highest percentages of residents on Medicare. He is literally screwing his own constituents.

If you thought GOP lawmakers were having a rough time with constituents now with all the DOGE cuts, imagine what will happen if Republicans slash Medicaid.

If the Democrats bail out Mike Johnson on ANY spending bill, they deserve the utter political destruction coming their way. Some are already falling for the "but we'll get blamed for shutting down the government" b.s. Have you learned NOTHING? Not. One. Vote.

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.

Adam Kinzinger, one of two Republican members on the Jan. 6 Committee, isn't afraid of Trump—and neither are we.

Tapper: “What concessions will Russia have to make?” Witkoff: 🤷🏻

Brilliant but devastating editorial in the Financial Times. “In the past 10 days, he [Trump] has all but incinerated 80 years of postwar American leadership. If you are not at the table, you are on the menu. America has turned.”

Not the white man for the moment. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Oh yes i support Ukraine’s right to destroy its invaders because money of course. Quit swimming with beta fish

Our latest: The Resistance is alive and well and angry. Please consider reading and sharing. No paywall.

This is what professional courtesy looks like among oligarchs.

This is why we have debt. It’s tax cuts for the wealthy not programs for tbe poor. There are more sources and you can find them easily online. www.americanprogress.org/article/tax-...

This vibe reminds me of a Tea Party town hall I attended on Long Island a dozen years ago.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Trump’s Pentagon purge has included the top military lawyers. Nobody should be surprised. Dictators politicize the military. Trump wants those with the biggest guns loyal to him, not the Constitution He says he’s demilitarizing it. I call BS. Orwellian to the core. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Trump is a goddamn traitor to America. Any congressional Republican who supports him — or is afraid to stand up to him — is just as much of a traitor as Trump.

"Boos and shouts erupted around the room. When Grothman praised orders ending birthright citizenship and diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, the crowd only got louder." www.wpr.org/news/glenn-g...

holy crap .... Another Town Hall(s) Goes Off the Rails – Oregon 2nd District Edition talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/anoth...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

AOC is showing what resistance looks like; Schumer, Hochul, and the rest of D leadership not so much. www.publicnotice.co/p/aoc-homan-...

What is vitally important about high-visibility moments like this is they encourage others to stand up and let their voices be heard. Call them out. To their faces. Lawmakers will do more when they see those unafraid to speak out being celebrated.

Musk/Trump/NYT is going to call firing IRS agents savings, but the lost revenue will be many times their salaries: this all about making it easier for rich people to cheat on their taxes.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.

You never imagine the descent into despotism being quite this embarrassing, you know? You expect liberal democracy to fall to a Palpatine, not Biff Tannen.

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." As the foundation of #democracy in America crumbles and the vulnerable are under attack from a rogue administration, we, the people, are asking our former presidents to "Say something!”

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Dems, if you don’t shove this down his throat (metaphorically) you are worthless.

John Thune defends Trump's grotesque attacks on Zelenskyy: "It is simply right now the give and take that occurs, the back and forth that occurs in a situation like this where the stakes are really high."

This was just 233 days ago:

is this bad?

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

The most shocking thing about this is that anyone took him at his word.

People often assume the emotions associated with cruelty are hatred and anger, but it’s actually pleasure and joy. Fascists relish their cruelty. They roll it around on their tongue like a mouthful of full-bodied wine. They laugh as they harm.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

They're not even trying to hide it. This DOJ is going to investigate people for imaginary crimes in revenge for Trump being prosecuted for his very real crimes against the country. And they're proud of it.

At some point, I hope enough people start reading the room with these people. No one elected a king or a dictator, and he damn sure didn't have a mandate.

I mean, yeah, that's what you all are doing, nut-tug.

As with Trump, it's often hard to know whether Elon is displaying his profound ignorance or whether he's just lying.

so special ed programs are getting gutted because their internal documentation used the term "transition" when talking about helping disabled kids enter the working world. they're literally striking at that word wherever they see it.
