Trump and Musk slashing entire government agencies is NOT about waste, fraud, and abuse. It’s about finding cash for a $4.5 trillion tax break for a small group of out-of-touch billionaires, including themselves. It’s not right vs. left. It’s wealthy elites vs. normal people.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Unfortunately firings have continued at the National Nuclear Safety Administration. I’ve been contacted by an NNSA worker who was fired, then told her termination was paused, then told she was fired again. She says there were numerous others at NNSA treated the same way. These people keep us safe.

This is a flat-out, clear-cut violation of the First Amendment.

Do I have this right? Elon Musk - the guy in charge of preventing wasteful spending - dropped $40M on a Super Bowl ad? We could permanently house 800 homeless veterans for $40M. Or provide five million meals to the hungry. Or replace lead pipes in 8,500 homes.

A corrupt billionaire trying to kill the agency that protects Americans against exploitation by corrupt billionaires? Screw that! DC: Tomorrow at 4:15pm, we're rallying outside the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. #SaveTheCFPB www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Elon is using his billions to smear USAID and its life-saving work. We need to use our networks to get the truth out. Please share: youtu.be/PqUESHfuO_8?...

Folks trying to save USAID are trying to counterprogram Musk's $40 million Super Bowl ad. They're asking everyone to share this video as widely as you can today: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqUE...

We have been encouraged by RMaddow to support our local radio, tv, to subscribe to our local independent newspaper or similar local media outlets. The attempt by Trump and his allies to eliminate our free and independent press appears to be underway. Details can be found in her show last night.

Democrats in Congress should appear on right-wing media such as Fox Faux News and podcasts such as Rogan’s, to educate followers and viewers about the dangers and potential disaster that could be caused if RFK gets nominated. Viewers should not hear only the few positives about this nomination.

We’re reminded to call our Congress folks to protest M Gaetz nomination for Attny General. They need to hear from the ppl how we will feel if they nominate him!
