I try not to criticize anybody who broadcasts live -- there's a reason I don't do it -- but of course there never was any such thing as an "EV Mandate."

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

Yes

From Andy Borowitz: “Today we saw the bravest man in the world bullied by a guy who got a podiatrist’s note to avoid the draft.”

Now more than ever.

Rather than violate their oath or comply with Musk’s illegal requests, 21 civil service employees resigned today from Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (formerly the United States Digital Service), stating they would not use their technical expertise to dismantle critical public services.

GenBioPro, the largest manufacturer of abortion pills in the U.S., is seeking to join a legal fight over access to the medication with the Trump Administration. The move was a significant offensive action on an issue seen as a vanguard in the fight over access to abortion.

A group of mostly Quaker religious organizations succeeded in temporarily preventing federal immigration agents from operating around their places of worship across the U.S.

A federal judge in Washington said that the way the Trump administration set up and has been running Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency could violate the Constitution.

Monitors at the Washington, D.C., headquarters of the Department of Housing and Urban Development briefly displayed a fake, AI-generated video depicting President Trump sucking the toes of Elon Musk.

The resistance will bring down Musk and Trump. Congress, wake up before your power is gone. The GOP begging Trump to release money to their states is pathetic—stand up to this tyranny. Congress controls the purse strings.

If you’re wondering who the Elon Musk staffers are, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has several Musk staffers, including Amanda Scales, Brian Bjelde, Stephen Duarte, Christina Hanna, and Bryanne-Michelle Mlodzianowski.

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

A point to consider.

jamelle is correct

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

This!

The removal of a transgender reference from the National Park Service’s Stonewall website wasn’t done by NPS staff. Elon, care to elaborate?

And the most dangerous being on the planet. He needs to be dragged off to Guantanamo.

This says it all

As others have said, the greatest transfer of wealth in US history will not be from the Boomers to their children but from them to the US healthcare system. The US is designed to make people insolvent and to keep them poor once they're there.

I applaud the self restraint it must take being subjected to these limp dicked little punks. The urge to beat them down must be incredibly hard to overcome.

Not so brilliant.

PLEASE make this go viral! Elon Musk claims it’s a crime to publish the names of the young engineers who work for him who have access to systems they shouldn’t. Here they are: Akash Bobba Edward Coristine Luke Farritor Gautier Cole Killian Gavin Kliger Ethan Shaotran

Suggestion to Americans: If you used a current bank account with funds on a recent tax return, it may be wise to contact your bank and request a change. Account and routing numbers are accessible, and Elon Musk’s staff have access to this information. Stay safe and protect your assets.

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

This is interesting. I signed a couple on here. resist.bot

ICE Agents Hurl Pregnant Immigrant Over Mexican Border To Prevent Birth On U.S. Soil

President Trump suggested that efforts to diversify the ranks of the FAA were to blame for the plane crash on Wednesday that killed 67 people, even as he acknowledged that he had no evidence, and was instead relying on "common sense." Here’s a fact check of his remarks.

The BIGGEST piece of shit in the history of this country.

we have a president with a tenuous grip on small legislative majorities who is out of the gate with a flurry of dramatically unpopular orders and who has just demonstrated his weakness on the international stage. if i were an elected member of his domestic opposition, i might try to draw real blood.
