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.

I don’t know why this is hard for folks to understand. The layoffs aren’t just about probationary employees. They are going beyond that. It won’t stop. It’s all about making agencies non-functional.

Hey Wisconsin!! Y’all got work to do and I'm so excited to help. There's a State Supreme Court Election April 4th! I'm on the ground talking to voters and any news outlet that will listen! It's a never ending phrase… “Democracy is on the ballot”

A conspiracy theory more ridiculous than QAnon

Bottom line: Abortion bans are cruel. And women in this country are being harmed by them every day.   Denying women life-saving care shouldn't happen - and yes, abortions can be life-saving care.

And in a shock to no one..

JD Vance is so nauseatingly unlikeable that he’s literally dragging down the AfD’s approval rating

late night news: The Trump administration has just told a federal judge in a court filing that it will not comply with the court's order to resume funding for USAID and State Department foreign assistance. It’s happening. They are solidifying the coup we are running out of time to stop them.

Given this, and Gebbia's position as Board Chair at Airbnb, I plan to take my lodging business elsewhere. www.newsweek.com/airbnb-joe-g...

It is ILLEGAL for landlords and hotels to exploit the #PalisadesFire and the #EatonFire by jacking up prices on Angelenos. File a report via oag.ca.gov/Report or 1-800-952-5225.

I don't even know how to describe this other than fascist propaganda x.com/elonmusk/sta...

This is HUGE. The administration is trying to dismantle the board so that government employees have nowhere to file termination grievances.

This is obnoxious and it’s not just Fetterman who does it. DOGE doesn’t want to fix government. It wants to eliminate most of what government does. Dems need to stop trying to cut spending and start ensuring government works - and that it does more, not less.

‘The US Is Doing Russia’s Work’ Say Ecstatic Propagandists Putin’s mouthpieces are in a lather of excitement over the US administration’s willingness to make a deal to their liking. My latest for @cepa.org: cepa.org/article/the-...

It’s like they’ve embedded colonies of termites throughout the entirety of the nation’s governmental infrastructure that are slowly eating away at the supports that make modern life possible for ordinary people. Seems like it’s just a matter of time before the cascading collapses start happening.

Last week, Elon Musk appeared alongside Trump in the Oval to defend the work of DOGE. Looking directly at Musk, Trump asked; “Could you mention some of the things *your team* has found?” Tonight, the government claimed that Musk isn’t in charge of DOGE & isn’t a DOGE employee.

But there were Very Serious People posting over the weekend that it was ridiculous to point out the 14 flags at 14:14 and it made us look like Qanon cranks

The WaPo, where democracy died in Jeff Bezos’ pockets and his fiancee’s lips, refused to run this ad. Share it everywhere.

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

🚨BREAKING: In 4-3 decision, Wisconsin Supreme Court reverses lower court decision and DISMISSES voter suppression lawsuit. A big victory for our clients the WI Alliance for Retired Americans and voting rights in Wisconsin. Another stinging loss for the GOP! www.democracydocket.com/cases/wiscon...

Okay I am sorry can we not just print Elon Musk marketing copy that says "smartest AI on earth" when it really should say "large language model that is better at the benchmarks tests they made up specifically for LLMs where they can literally train on both the questions and their answers

It seems to me that if Musk has proof that millions of social security checks have gone out illegally to dead people, he should be presenting that evidence in front of a grand jury under oath tomorrow instead of shitposting it on social media. When can we do this under oath?

Ahh, the experts in blowing things up and expecting you to applaud

11:30 p.m., I trudged out in chest high snow drift to make sure my furnace exhausts were clear. I'm glad I checked because one wasn't. If you live anywhere in Ontario that received snow, CHECK YOUR FURNACE EXHAUSTS!

I think we should require actual evidence for claims like this, especially when the person making the claim has a significant financial stake in AI.

Yeah, this is pretty obvious but worth stressing. Also, the idea that techbro coders with no experience in government are best able to identify and root out “fraud” is laughable

Listen, we had to get rid of the "MAKE PLANE NOT CRASH" guy because we had no idea what he did and we figured that his $51,000 salary was much more needed for the cause of paying for Tuesday afternoon part of Jeff Bezos' tax cut.

new from me: Elon Musk's X appears to be blocking links to directly contact users on Signal Signal, the encrypted messaging app, has recently become a major tool for government workers looking to blow the whistle on DOGE

Replace “14th Amendment” with “2nd Amendment” and “gate crashers” with “AR-15s.” Then see what conservatives think.

I'm sure Germans already know this but never take election advice from a couch fucker.

It would be nice if this alleged Deep State would start doing some Deep Statey things.
