Here’s what I need from Democrats; get in the fucking way. Stand in front of those who will hurt others. We can say “constitutional crisis” all day long, but you have to get in front of them. Refuse to budge. Don’t back down.

It’s not even been a month since Elon Musk’s inauguration. Sorry, it’s not even been a month since Trump’s inauguration — but it’s easy to forget with Musk getting access to everything he wants. Instead of giving into despair, put your anger to use: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/organi...

Oh, and the Trump / GOP budget reduces / eliminates the child tax credit, eliminates mortgage home deduction, eliminates student loan interest, reduces food stamps, and cuts Medicaid and Medicare - all of this so the morbidly wealthy can get tax breaks on the backs of hard-working Americans. #FAFO

DOGE claimed it saved $8 BILLION in 1 contract. In reality it was $8 Million (i.e. how much Musk's companies get in federal tax dollars EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE YEAR) To put $8M vs $8B in perspective: •8 million seconds is 93 DAYS •8 billion seconds is 254 YEARS DOGE is 99.9999999875% INACCURATE

Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

And fully half of it is a humiliating error where they mistake the value of a contract by 1000x confusing 8 million with 8 BILLION

If Trump defies the courts, "The only recourse is to go out on the streets and march...the courts have no mechanism to enforce their orders...if the executive branch does not comply with court orders...the rule of law, as far as the federal government is concerned, is over." George Conway.

Attorney Mark Zaid has rep'd several intelligence officials, most notably the whistleblower that prompted Trump's 1st impeachment. I spoke to Zaid 1.5 months ago and he predicted this would happen—and that there wouldn't be much he could do about it. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If the White House decides it can defy the will of the courts, then the people must defy the will of the White House.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

This is why Space Caligula throttles posts with external news links on X. He encourages users to post their made up “citizen journalism” and conspiracy theories directly on to his platform. It’s much easier to manipulate vibes than it is to argue with facts.

Trump's CFPB, now under the command of billionaire hedge fund manager Scott Bessent, has halted the Biden admin's rule to ban medical bills from credit reports. It's been estimated that the rule would help improve the credit scores of 15 million people. Some populist, huh?

MN is proud to help feed the world (in fact, this program was created by Hubert Humphrey). Now not only is that in jeopardy, but millions of dollars in income for farmers is too? Disgusting. This food, which we’ve already paid for, is waiting on ships to be delivered to those who need it.

Musk & the DOGE henchmen are now inside & gutting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. CFPB costs less than $1billion to run, but has returned over $20 billion to ordinary Americans who’ve been victims of big business fraud & illegal junk fees. A great day for corporate scammers.

An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government. DOGE is not a real government agency. DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions. DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law. DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.

FIRST: USAID NEXT: Dept. of Education THEN: Your Social Security benefits? Your health insurance? Your kids' health insurance? Everything is on the table and Trump/Musk don't care who gets hurt. We will not sit by while this happens. We will put up a fight.
