When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

Anyone else watching the dems filibuster right now? www.youtube.com/live/saU-2s8...

Tech billionaires, big corporations, and Trump, oh my! There's no place like America - we can't let the oligarchy and Elon Musk divide us. It's not what the American people signed up for.

"Our reporting speaks for itself. It is rigorously reported and fact checked [and] we look forward to continuing doing the work, trying to figure out exactly what Elon Musk and his team are doing inside of these federal agencies," -- @katie-drummond.bsky.social, head of WIRED

What this long and detailed NYT piece calmly calls an “extraordinary flexing of power by a private individual” is in fact a blatantly unconstitutional usurpation of Congress’s Article I powers and delegation of the President’s Article II duties. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

How could this not possibly violate a slew of federal laws?

This is how autocrats throughout history have endangered the people they govern by erasing factual information vital to health and well being www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

This is a hostile takeover of the U.S. Government.

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban. Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

RFK Jr. is far more than just an “anti-vaxxer.” Over the years, he’s made countless outrageous statements on a wide range of topics. We’ve compiled 10 of the wildest clips—though even that barely scratches the surface.

Its currently in the Arkansas Senate arkansasadvocate.com/2025/01/28/a....

"Nobody says the B word"

I hate it here arktimes.com/arkansas-blo...

AOC spot on , this is what leadership looks like.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

Let Denmark cook.

“So do it right now on TV, if you think it’s a normal way to greet people.” @crampell.bsky.social checkmates @ScottJenningsKY after he accuses her of “salute trutherism”

A recent leaked House Republican plan calls for $2.5 TRILLION in mandatory spending cuts. They want to pay for tax cuts for billionaires by gutting health care and food for at-risk seniors and children. 🚨I need your help to spread the word! 🚨

WATCH: Tennessee Republican lawmakers booed and heckled mercilessly inside and outside the Capitol by students attending the student-led Rally for Antioch

Jennings: This salute trutherism is outrageous.  Rampell: Do it right now on TV! If you think it’s a normal way to greet people, do it right now on TV. Why won’t you?!

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget INSURRECTIONIST TRUMP!

JUST NOW: Students calling for change call Faison, Lamberth & other GOP lawmakers “cowards” as they slip out the back after a committee meeting Huge turnout at the student-led Rally for Antioch earlier.

This is what we all should remember.

Setting quotas of arrests per day. You know what happens when you have a quota to meet? Scoop them up and let the court sort it out. They will be grabbing anyone they can. No proof of citizenship on your person? Too bad. That’s an arrest. Look “illegal?” Explain it to the court someday.

A while back I asked folks why they’re joining Bluesky and the most common response I saw was, “I just want a good place to get my news” and, yall, no. Bad. GET YOUR NEWS FROM THE NEWS PBS Newshour is FREE FOR EVERYONE. youtu.be/PMOYN8JWdUk?...

Mike Turner says that when Speaker Johnson ousted him as chair of the intel committee, he told him that "an element included concerns from Mar-a-Lago." (Johnson has denied this, so somebody is lying...) Turner adds that he's "concerned" about the new direction of the committee.

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

Could the last principled person leaving the Pentagon install a breathalyzer test to unlock our missile silos? Please and thank you.

The Air Force will stop teaching recruits about the Tuskegee Airmen after an order from Donald Trump. The Tuskegee Airmen were the first Black US military pilots and excelled in combat during World War II.

Insanity: The deportation flights Trump used military jets for—that Mexico refused to accept—cost the U.S. up to $852,000 per flight to attempt to deport just 80 migrants at a time. To compare, flights directly chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement cost just $8,577.
