I do find it funny how Elon’s incompetence might end up being the thing that saves us from a fully authoritarian federal government.

Those in power from both parties who couldn’t find the courage to stand up to Netanyahu will not find the courage to stand up to President Trump and the oligarchs.

This might be a good time for the annual reminder that a cool thing to do to combat the helpless rage you might be feeling is to pick an organization or cause and donate to them every time you get pissed with no outlet. Even if it's only $1.

This micro aggression IS psychological warfare and force people to resign. Trump and Musk need to explain to the American public how much time and money they have wasted on EO/DOGE non-core work related items just indulged the whims of self indulged, wannabe dictator!

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

The senior military officer purges will put our troops in danger. Trump put a part-time airmen incharge of the military, jumping a slew of 3 and 4-stars with 30-40 years of military experience. Our enemy couldn’t be happier.

His code name for the Kremlin, who recruited him in 1987, is “Krasnov”. Call him that if you want to really get in his head.

Information was shared illegally. A career employee at the Social Security Administration provided unauthorized access to data to Elon Musk’s staffers. This employee, Leland Dudek, a data analyst, was recently promoted to acting commissioner by Trump.

Reminder: We’re less than three weeks away from a government shutdown. Yet instead of passing bills to keep the government open, Republicans are kowtowing to Trump’s unconstitutional actions and pushing a budget that is just one giant tax cut for the richest of the rich.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

There is no scenario where neoliberal Democrats control the Democratic Party and the party regains popularity to dominate electorally nationwide. Progressive populism. That’s the only path for the Democrats.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Americans don’t want to see healthcare cuts and tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. That’s what the GOP wants. Where the Democratic Party loses people is just opposing that without providing an alternative vision. Tax the ruling class, pass Medicare for All for the working class.

You do not fight political fights with the same policy as your opponent, especially if you paint your opponent’s policy as dangerous. Democrats should not get more conservative, the party should get dark money out and advocate for Medicare for All.
