Elon Musk’s staffers visited the U.S. Institute of Peace, accompanied by two FBI agents. They were met at the door by a lawyer who informed them that the institute holds “private and independent status as a non-executive branch agency.” Following this, the staffers left.

WOW! During a time of crisis, when people are asking if you switched sides, you’re officially part of the problem. STEP DOWN CHUCK. @schumer.senate.gov

OPINION: "If H.B. 1193 passes and becomes law, will our Black students, queer students, Muslim students, Hispanic students and students with disabilities feel safe to go to school in a state that wants to erase their histories and existence?" Amber Nichols-Buckley writes. buff.ly/nhfErxL

Facts

I’m amazed how little coverage this story has gotten. They’ve burned well over $16 million to briefly hold 290 immigrants and several photo ops to GITMO. Just a total train wreck and they didn’t even mention it officially. Check out my latest. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

You know Joyce Vance, right? Help boost her new book by pre-ordering “Giving Up is Unforgivable: A Manual for Keeping Democracy”. (You should be reading her daily email blasts, too, btw.) www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/801635...

“Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.” Whatever happened to #abolishICE? It needs to be abolished. This is torture.

open.substack.com/pub/heatherc... “The new measure is not a so-called clean CR that simply extends previous funding. Instead, the Republican majority passed it without input from Democrats and with a number of poison pills added.”

These are bold and wild allegations from the FBI, which is moving to criminalize organizations like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the EPA. In a court filing, Citibank disclosed that it had been directed by the FBI to freeze the bank accounts of these groups.

@johnfetterman.com @fetterman.senate.gov is traitor garbage

I look forward to being a tourist at a dealership soon.

That will make it more efficient! 🤬🤬🤬🤦🏼‍♀️

I've been at DOJ for so many important speeches & presentations. Today, my heart is filled with sadness for my former colleagues & our country as a convicted felon who doesn't understand justice or the meaning of the rule of law & why both are essential to our democracy stands there.

We don't spend a penny on marketing. It's all word of mouth for @costplusdrugs.com That's how we keep prices so low. Please spread the word !

Someone said all they've seen RFK Jr. do recently is sit around and eat burgers... and they might be on to something.

Yo @durbin.senate.gov, no one is picking up your Senate phone and you don’t even have a voicemail. Vote no on cloture and the spending bill or I will do whatever it takes to make sure the next Senator from Illinois has basic constituent services set up during business hours.

It won't stop there.

This is also why folks need to stay LOUD—make your opinions known. It’s making a difference.

America, you’re under reacting.

Go ahead and stay silent. Let fear rule you. Watch injustice happen. Just don’t act like you did not know and accept that you are the latest in a long line of cowards who learned nothing from the past. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-c...

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...
