Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

Hey @washingtonpost.com you say your new Kash Patel story has "not previously been reported." Wrong, we at @motherjones.com scooped you and had this out earlier today. www.motherjones.com/politics/202... Feel free to correct.

I'm a reporter at NBC News and I'm interested in speaking with people who are familiar with the specific technical details of onboarding DOGE staff at the federal agency level — USAID or CFPB or wherever. You can reach me on Signal at: davidingram.77. I can honor requests for anonymity.

This Russel Vought vote to direct the OMB is SO critically important. It's at the heart of the Coup as this author of Project 2025 will be in control of actual funds directed by congress. They vote at 7 ET, this is the lead up. www.senate.gov/legislative/...

@repjasmine.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social Please fight against Elon's ongoing COUP against our government! Not just USAID, DOGE/ Musk is trampling Congress and the will of the people and Will Do What He Wants with everyone's CLASSIFIED INFO. This isn't partisan, no one elected Musk!

The central core of Trumpism is voter suppression and election subversion. Too many people only pay attention to this right before elections and forget it once elections are over. We must take this threat literally and seriously if we want to have free and fair elections in the future.

Inspectors General are key public servants tasked with holding our government accountable. They’re independent, nonpartisan whose work is identifying fraud, waste, & importantly, abuse. Trump just fired them all. Make no mistake: he's purging those who will protect the rule of law.

Hegspeth is confirmed. Now What? He has no idea how to manage the Pentagon. So he is going to be dependent on his direct reports. Most of which require confirmation. The Dems have to use whatever political skills they have to get qualified, rational people in these positions ? Suggestions ?
