Organizers of the #50501 movement have another protest scheduled today at noon at the capitol in Atlanta. I spoke to one of them about what they're about, why they're not the 501c3 types, and what they're trying to accomplish. Happy President's Day.

Trump's cuts have begun to move voters from the theoretical "they're cutting waste" zone into the practical "they're screwing me over" zone. We need to keep pushing.

Listen, we had to fire the "GUY WHO PROTECTS YOUR TAX DATA" because we had no idea what he did and that $58,000 needed to be spent on five golf carts for the Secret Service at Maralago. You don't have an identity any more but you also don't have DEI. So win/win?

Are you active duty or a Veteran, listen up. Rumor has it DOGE was at the VA admin yesterday. Their plan is to curb our Healthcare and cut disability and benefits to all of us. We need to show up and fight for what we have earned. If you have PTSD benefits/care you're screwed, Hegseth says it's BS.

Elon Musk claims it’s a crime to publish the names of the young engineers who work for him who have access to systems they shouldn’t. Here they are: Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Come and arrest me, Apartheid Clyde.

This Treasury letter does not contradict reporting by WIRED & TPM. It says "Treasury staff members working with Tom Krause" have read-only access, and "all operational processes" are conducted by Treasury staff. That doesn't deny DOGE has admin and altered code. home.treasury.gov/news/press-r...

The shock and awe Musk, Vought, Bannon and Trump — are bringing will backfire if we’re smart about it. Make clear that DOGE is the Dept of Govt Extermination, not Efficiency. Let people see that their taxes are no longer paying for vital public services but to fatten the richest people on earth.

WIRED’s journalism in the public interest is hitting it out of the park. I’m grateful for the scrutiny and accountability they are supporting in response to Musk’s unauthorized attacks on the constitutional order. A digital subscription is just $5, and I’ve chosen to support good journalism. 🙏

DC friends, please support @indivisible.org and @moveon.org today at Treasury. This will be peaceful and direct. Also, it was good to see Liz Warren and Jamie Raskin speak out but the rest of the Dems in Congress need to mobilize, name names, and start impeachment on Bessent. #Treasury #StoptheCoup
