This AM I have re-posted stories from WaPo, the NYT and NPR. The NYT story has multiple bylines and is a thorough factual debunking of an official government communication. You can argue about headlines and stay mad about past errors or you can realize institutional journalists are doing the work.

I honestly hope that if people hear this coming from me then maybe it will sink in you DO NOT need to get arrested. We live in a surveillance state, an arrest now does not carry the same consequences as arrests in ‘68. The state is violent & will escalate on you. You should avoid arrest if possible

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

Open message to Elon Musk: Rumors are swirling that you’re spending $40 million on Super Bowl ads targeting USAID. If there were truly fraud, wouldn’t you not need to spend millions trying to convince people?

Just learned from NPR that the federal government is the largest employer in the great Kansas City area, for example. I found it helpful to be reminded that, of course, this isn’t just about people who work and live in DC. Federal employees are in all of our communities.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Important point from @gregsargent.bsky.social: Elon Musk is a vulnerability for Trump. Polling from @boldprogressives.org and @dataforprogress.org show his approval is underwater—and voters are swayed by a “he’s stealing from you” message. newrepublic.com/article/1911...

Gonna deviate from politics and point out that the reason marketing people get dumped on in the workplace and are asked to do so many non-marketing-related things is because: - We are smart and versatile. - We get shit done. - We make easy scapegoats later.

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

People casually aware of what Musk is doing who have powers of discernment understand that he is genuinely evil, but I'm telling you as a Musk biographer who follows virtually all his content that however evil you think you understand him to be the reality isn't figuratively but literally 10x worse

Not that it matters anymore, as I barely use Twitter and I have to think most who still do are seriously reconsidering it, but Elon Musk has just confirmed that if his fans (the only people paying to use Twitter) do not like you, his algorithm decimates your reach So it was never about free speech
