Haha 😂 Trump appointees at USAID sent terminated employees a list of over 100 prohibited weapons they cannot bring when retrieving their belongings. The list includes firearms, axes, martial arts weapons like nunchucks and throwing stars, spearguns, and even dynamite.

Data can be wrong. Data can be misinterpreted. False data can be inserted by hackers, which are what Musk's people are (they are not auditors).

So when are these people going to get nailed for lying in court? I thought it was against the law.

Luke Farritor is not “letting them die”, he is actively breaking the law and withholding life saving meds from the most vulnerable. He is actively killing people on Musk’s orders. This is a death squad. We won’t forget his face or his crimes. #vlakplas #doge #warcrimes

Kind of feels like there wasn’t a mandate to destroy the health insurance program that covers 24% of Americans in order to fund a giant tax giveaway for billionaires and corporations, but maybe it’s just me.

The reason for concern, the current Regime has killed our ability to identify, research, mitigate, what-have-you to any disease risks. It is highly likely we will have multiple pandemics running at the same time in the States.

This is like extending the lease on your apartment and then pretending your rent no longer costs anything. It's magic math for Republicans in Congress to justify trillions in tax breaks for the ultra wealthy while preaching about fiscal responsibility and DOGE efficiency.

Our German supporters made us realize we made a mistake, and we want to acknowledge it. Germany, you’re in our thoughts. While we’re relieved that AfD was defeated, we understand this is not a moment for celebration. There is still much work ahead, and we stand in solidarity with you.

Warmer climates means more ticks in more states, more exposure. So it makes a lot of sense if you are an idiot to cut research on this disease that is so debilitating.

This is a solidly red district in Georgia. Republicans are really starting to feel the pressure — let’s keep turning up the heat. Your representatives are back home for congressional recess and we’ve got events planned around the country (including Tesla dealerships). LFG: indivisible.org/muskorus

The Republican party is the Nazi party. Bannon tossed a sieg heil at CPAC while calling for a 3rd term for Trump. When you sit at a table with 11 Nazis.. you're sitting at a table with 12 Nazis. That goes for all who support #Trump and #Musk #Resist #FuckTrump #FuckElon #50501

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

There are multiple illnesses that are increasing in the USA that are of great concern. Yet Republicans are intent on gutting agencies that monitor and help deal with outbreaks. The sheer stupidity of this regime is astounding.
