This is a coup! U.S. Institute for Peace called the DC police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the DC police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute’s officials.

Any other president would be rushed to the hospital after saying this.

Alina Habba on veterans who have been fired from government jobs: "Perhaps they're not fit to have a job at this moment."

It bears repeating.

Today, a reporter from the Russian state news agency TASS gained unauthorized access to the Oval Office. How does one gain unauthorized access to the Oval Office? Meanwhile, AP and Reuters were blocked.

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 ✊

We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.

I appreciated meeting with Vermont veterans to discuss veteran homelessness, mental health, health care and other issues at the VA. Veterans put their lives on the line for this country. We must do everything in our power to ensure they receive the benefits & care they earned.

Putting his hand on President Donald Trump’s arm, French President Emmanuel Macron said, “We provided real money, to be clear.”

OMG. The AI video of Trump kissing Elon Musk’s feet is currently being broadcast INSIDE the federal Department of Housing & Urban Development. This footage from the cafeteria was shared with Vox. DOGE & Musk has laid off half the Department’s workforce. (🎥 Vox)

Bernie Sanders in the Midwest.

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Winston Churchill was right: "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried.” Too many Americans have fought and died defending democracy. We must stand with our European allies against the authoritarianism of Putin and Trump.

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.

The outside of the US Department of Justice vs. the inside of the White House.

I've never seen Trump sit so silently and let someone else take the stage and take all the attention. I wonder how long this lasts.

If Congress and the courts can't stop Trump from abusing his power, who can?

@aoc.bsky.social We’d like your help organizing a March on Washington to ensure protester safety and secure permits. We’re aiming for a Saturday at least two weeks out to allow for travel planning.

Congress was denied entry to both the U.S. Department of Education and the Treasury, where Musk staffers blocked the doors. Along with its appropriations responsibilities, Congress holds oversight authority over federal agencies. Blocking congressional access to these agencies is illegal.

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.

Walking back crazy statements is a rite of passage for Trump's spokespeople

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Hey guys, can we Make America a Democracy Again? That would be cool.

The richest man in the world is sitting at the Resolute desk, about to defund your public school. Trump should stop him.

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!

Oh snap!!! Senator Cory Booker points out that he hears Elon Musk is trying to place people to work with Kash Patel. 🍿

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered an investigation into retired general Mark Milley — who often clashed with President Trump — and determine whether he should be reduced in rank.

Acting EPA Administrator James Payne has dismissed all members of two of the agency’s most influential science advisory panels, allowing the Trump administration to reshape them.
