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.

If I had to respond to an email as a federal employee asking me what I did at work last week, I'd make sure to list all the duties I had to absorb because of mass illegal firings, followed by a description of what the EPA's Walter Peck did in Ghostbusters.

Elon’s evil munchkins sent this ridiculous email out to all 2 million or so Federal employees demanding they reply by midnight Monday. If you want to let them know what you did last week I’m bet they’d love to hear from you at [email protected]! I can’t wait to tell them about my norovirus symptoms!

Got to say I LOVE the Trump Administration negotiating to get Rare Minerals from Ukraine, for 2 reasons: 1. It reduces our dependence on China for Lithium and Graphite (China provides near 70% of world supply) 2. More than 50% of those minerals are in Russian Annexed land.

@khanna.house.gov knows. Telehealth is a necessity to many seniors with Medicare. They’re either homebound or live in a rural area where they’d have to travel long distances for in person care. The cruelty is the point. #HandsOffOurMedicare

Imagine disrespecting Dolly Parton like this Dolly sends out millions of books every year thru her Imagination Library program. Indiana Republicans want to end Dolly’s childhood literacy campaign by revoking their 50% matching funds. Dolly gives to those in need. Republicans give to billionaires

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

With all due respect, Congressman, he’s not trying to distract from anything here. He’s a grandiose pathological narcissist. A narcissistic sociopath. A malignant narcissist. A psychopath. A megalomaniac. This is what he thinks of himself. And what he wants others to think of him.

The king comment was a joke. The salute was a joke. The claims of no more elections are a joke. The calls to deport all immigrants are jokes. The racism is a joke. The transphobia is a joke. The misogyny is a joke. Almost like they tell us everything is a joke to stop us reacting.

We all see what’s happening—because we are the target! Who doesn’t know someone affected? “It’s a level of incompetence that we’ve never seen before in government. To say that Elon Musk is not running the United States right now is really a fallacy.” — @dougjones.bsky.social

Trump is projecting far more power than he actually has. The executive orders makes it seem as if he has complete control, but much of it is smoke and mirrors, PR for his base. An authoritarian only wins if we let them win. Don’t make his job easy by making us believe we’re already defeated.

With Handmaids Tale people focus on the shock of the mass rapes in the book and the show. But how the regime came to be in power in that book keeps me awake at night because it is playing out in very intricate detail in our real lives right now.

It's not just the money, either. A venue manager told me that when they're setting up her show, she went out and introduced herself to the locals doing the work to thank them. He said that's the only act he's ever seen do that. You don't have to be a fan of her music to be a fan of Taylor Swift.

Correct. This is a President of the United States declaring himself a dictator. And instead of Americans understanding that we’re now under imminent threat of martial law and tyranny, we’ll get a month of think pieces about what the President of the United States meant by his UNAMBIGUOUS statement.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

Per this @theguardian.com article, if Tesla stock drops, it affects 1/3 of Musk's wealth. 1/3 is in SpaceX, which is totally enmeshed in the federal government. We need to find ways to drag down SpaceX.

Joe Biden might have been old, but his administration and its officials knew what the National Nuclear Security Administration was responsible for and never fired those in charge of managing our nuclear stockpile “by accident.” The level of their incompetence is embarrassingly staggering.
