“Corporate landlords that are conspiring to jack up rents, purely to pad their excessive profits, must be stopped. Cracking down on this type of corporate greed is an important way we can continue to make the dream of home more affordable for all Minnesotans.” - @mikehowardmn.bsky.social 👏👏👏

Deb Howse, a Home Care Worker for more than 30 years shared a powerful message yesterday on the stage in front of hundreds - we can stand up to the greedy billionaires. We have to. @seiuhcmnia.bsky.social

The DOJ is investigating UnitedHealthcare over billing fraud to funnel extra payments to Medicare Advantage plans, the Wall Street Journal reports. UnitedHealthcare shares have already dropped 9% since the story broke.

A small government team at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, responsible for regulating autonomous cars—which Elon Musk claims are the future of Tesla—is being cut nearly in half by Musk. Conflict of interest?

Appearing today in The Week:

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Turns out we “deranged” people simply saw the truth clearly.

No amount of executive orders can make us cease to exist.

The IRS is expected to fire upwards of 6,000 employees as early as today. This will mean fewer audits for rich tax dodgers. According to U.S. Treasury estimates, the top 1% underpay their taxes by $163 billion every year.

I’ve met with President Zelenskyy and members of his government. They are strong, honorable allies. Minnesota stands with the people of Ukraine as they fight to defend freedom and democracy. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Some federal employees who accepted Trump’s buyout offer are now being notified that their buyout has been denied, and they are being terminated instead.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Trump's HUD plans to fire 50% of its workforce. The Department of Housing and Urban Development will fire workers in the offices that enforce civil rights laws, compile data about the housing market, and help rebuild communities after disasters. news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-...

This week, approximately 200,000 federal workers have been let go.

Public education is the backbone of American democracy. In the richest country in the history of the world, we cannot abandon our teachers and our public schools.

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

A woman whose parents were injured in a Tesla crash has been forced to pay Tesla damages. Zhang Yazhou was ordered by a Chinese court to pay over $23,000 to Tesla and apologize to the company after she publicly complained about her Tesla's breaks in the wake of the accident. /1

DOGE and and Trump have gone after and weakened or even halted enforcement at least 11 federal agencies which have been investigating Musk's companies. The agencies have at least 32 continuing investigations, pending complaints, or enforcement actions into Musk’s six companies.

Just saying…

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.

I need to report a murder.

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

Republicans in Congress and the Trump administration are trying to repeal the Biden administration’s rules that require all of the country’s lead pipes to be replaced and aim to reduce the amount of lead in water. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

BREAKING: Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says that Trump has agreed to pause tariffs on Mexico for one month.

Billionaire Elon Musk has stated that work is underway to shut down the U.S. foreign aid agency, USAID. Officials have been instructed not to report to work and have been locked out of the building.

Scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were ordered to withdraw any pending publications, at any scientific journal, that mention terms such as “transgender,” “immigrant,” “L.G.B.T.” or “pregnant people.”

Perfectly captured.

Did you know? In 1968, 24 Black men in Pittsburgh revolutionized emergency medicine. The Freedom House Ambulance Service was established to provide emergency medical care to underserved Black neighborhoods—creating the world’s first paramedics.

Elon Musk staff has been caught installing hard drives inside the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Treasury Department, and the General Services Administration (GSA).

For the past decade we've been chastised for the comparisons to 30s Germany. In the first week we've got Elon's full salute, gitmo concentration camps, and blaming society's ills on minorities and the disabled with the euphemism of DEI. If it looks like a duck with a little mustache...

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Damning.

This article is 113 years old and we are still not doing enough to fight against climate change! Morever: ⚠ 99.9% of scientists say that the climate crisis is 99.9% anthropogenic and there are still 50% of Americans who are climate deniers.
