This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

If I was an air traffic controller I’d respond with “I keep the fucking planes from crashing thanks to you meddling in our business”. Others. I’d say “I’m not a billionaire so I actually did the job that I was hired to do”.

Lose 7 pounds in 3 days with this one weird trick! Step 1. Purchase mayonnaise. Step 2. Leave mayonnaise in the sun for 5 hours. Let it really bake. Step 3. Eat a couple spoonfuls of the mayo. Step 4. Lose AT LEAST 7 pounds over the next 3 days!

Your Daily Affirmation: I am nonstick today. All the corruption, the lies, the aggression, the stupidity, just slip off of me as I slide into direct appreciation of the world as art. Also waffles.

The House could vote next week on drastic cuts to Medicaid that would gut critical programs that protect the civil rights and dignity of millions of Americans — including people with disabilities. Contact your member of Congress: No cuts to Medicaid.

Drug dealers will get the death penalty? Surely he can't mean the rich white ones on Fifth Avenue? How would his boys get coke? It would be a shame if all the gangs had a truce and stepped up to fight for one cause.

Disabled Military Veteran Trump Voter Blindsided by Getting ‘DOGEd’ in Wave of Federal Firings, ‘I Was Exceeding Expectations!’: In the latest Trumper tale of woe, a disabled military veteran in Virginia is struggling with what he plans to do next to provide for his family after he was fired on…

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Rep. Jason Crow: “The purge of senior officers at DOD is deeply troubling, but purging JAG officers worries me the most. “JAG officers interpret law for our commanders. They help determine what's lawful and constitutional. “Replacing these military lawyers with Trump loyalists is so dangerous.”

He nails it.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

200 million dollars of waste.

Delusional old man. His approval rating is tanking.

Did you hear about the Italian chef? He pasta away. Get it? I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress.

Todays hero

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

Gen-X knows 🤣

Choose your fighter

Let me help those who just get mad and post. It will take years and possibly decades to build infrastructure anywhere in Ukraine to be able to mine these minerals. Then, the biggest refiner is China. It will take a decade for the first $ If Zelensky gets what he wants, who benefits the most ?

"Six weeks ago, we had the strongest economy, employment, and stock market in history. ..All gone in 30 days."

People keep bemoaning the lack of leaders in the liberal democratic world - and I echo them. But we overlook Zelenskyy, who is as admirable a symbol of courage, resolve, clarity and righteousness as you will find.

If i were president i would issue an executive order stating that everyone had to love each other and listen to CDs and then I'd push through universal healthcare

Nothing paranoid about this, in my opinion ... all things considered. And people wonder why I prefer older cars .... @karldriftwood.bsky.social

Just disgusting.

You see where this is going ….

It's Over - Gator Days

That sounds like a plan that I can get on board with! 🤭😅🤣

Ways to help ...

firing for "too much DEI" is plainly firing a woman and a Black man on the presumption only white men can be qualified. this is disgusting biogtry.

I'm in ! Tell me how.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

People i know who had a Tesla have sold them. Nobody wants a Tesla now

“Patriots” working against the US constitutional limit of two terms for a president.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.
