Wow, if right wing media outlets are starting to get tired of Trump’s lies, perhaps we are nearing a turning point.

It is very stupid. These GOP enablers should read their history on how fascists and dictators treat their own toadies. They are really better off pushing back on their felon leader now.

something that I think would be really interesting to study is how Trump appears in people's dreams, especially his supporters. their view of him seems to bear very little resemblance to anything he says or does

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

And there it is

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

This executive order amounts to Trump going full Palpatine and declaring himself emperor. We need an immediate legal action for declaratory judgment that this executive order is null and void on the grounds that it is Unconstitutional.

This could all be prevented with universal basic income, housing, Healthcare, and minimum provisions reform. America is run by EVIL people. Their time will come. www.cnn.com/2025/02/15/u...

He’s right again.

The vice president of the supposed “free world” endorsed a political party in Germany that embraces nazism. Think about that for a second.

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruption—both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.

Great crowd In LA where I am. Bystanders and cars all on our side. People have had ENOUGH! #TeslaTakedown Teslatakedown.com

Someone turned it into a meme 🤣🤣🤣

What You Can Do To Save American Democracy To fight back and save our democracy, I suggest a 3-prong strategy: (1) Educate, (2) Litigate, (3) Advocate. For more detail, see my LinkedIn post: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

#Elon #Musk is full of poop and has been for years. futurism.com/the-byte/elo...

"Trump and Elon Musk are like two guys with six-shooters trying to hold a thousand people hostage. They only win if everyone thinks they are too strong to rush." www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/they-are-a...

Trump administration officials fired more than 300 staffers at the National Nuclear Security Administration — the agency tasked with managing the nation’s nuclear stockpile — as part of broader Energy Department layoffs. Incredibly, they didn't know this agency oversees America’s nuclear weapons.

"Elon Musk’s team at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency has posted classified information about the size and staff of a U.S. intelligence agency on its new website, raising bigger concerns about where Musk’s programmers got this information and what they are doing with it."

If even a few Republicans in Congress grew spines and started speaking out against the #Musk / #Trump policies that are hurting our nation and their states, things would get better fast.

Every state should be doing this. If yours is not, you might want to ask your governor about it.

Vice President Vance knows this and is just lying about it.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Re lawsuit that could dismantle Section 504, South Carolina attorney general apparently is talking to other states' AGS and "expect the lawsuit to be withdrawn." If not, the South Carolina AG "will withdraw from it." www.postandcourier.com/education-la...

This is why American Democracy will survive this crisis: heros who put justice, fairness, the United States Constitution, and the rule of law before their personal and political interests. We are not 1933 Nazi Germany. Americans are good people who will not abide the destruction of all we hold dear.

Wow. From the just-now amended complaint in NTEU v. Vought, challenging Trump-Musk evisceration of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is an important step in fighting back against the #Musk #DOGE coup.

New - This morning EPA employees received an email illegally terminating telework and violating collective bargaining agreements in order to get them back in the office. EPA staffer tells me this is, "unprecedented." Full text of email:

There is literally HIV being transmitted from mom to baby because of the illegal shutdown of US AID and now Trump’s State Department wants to spend 400 million dollars on Tesla cyber trucks. This is not about efficiency. It’s a smash and grab.

Trump Fired Inspectors General Who Identified $183.5 Billion in Waste, Fraud, and Abuse www.emptywheel.net/2025/02/12/t...

They want to cut TWO TRILLION from Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP (food stamps), among other basic needs programs. TWO TRILLION. All so the rich can get richer and more people can be deported to who knows where. This is as amoral as it gets. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Great news! This will save lives. Is the tide starting to turn?

What can you do? Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness. Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up. Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards. Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies. Resist. Stand with others.

“DOGE claims to be auditing FEMA. But sources within FEMA report that the DOGE employees are primarily “computer science guys” and do not understand the basics of financial management.” #TrumpChaos #PresidentMusk open.substack.com/pub/dropsite...

When Democrats win, democracy wins!

Very concerning that the #Trump administration is taking funds from private bank accounts. It raises questions about their ability to take funds from individuals without a court order.

Texas. Alabama. Indiana. Kentucky. The “red-state” tariff coverage this week has been something. 🇺🇸

We need to support good Democrats to help the #democraticparty be a more effective voice against the #Musk #Trump regime. The alternative is to do the work of the Musk/Trump regime for them. Dems may not be perfect, but they are far better than the alternative.

@thewarningses.bsky.social: Democratic leaders have an obligation to step up their game or get out of the way for someone else to lead. NOW youtu.be/9gPeV6rQv5w?...

Is America great yet? Because these refugees dying without USAID support aren't doing so great.

Got hypocrisy?

@maddow.msnbc.com is killing it tonight.

So the #Musk #DOGE #coup committee is posting their actions in invisible ink?
