Elon Musk’s promised savings from his DOGE operation has shrunk from $2 trillion to what he now claims is $150 billion, or just 7.5% of the amount initially promised. Now, new estimates suggest his cost-cutting crusade might actually end up costing MORE than what he claims to have saved taxpayers.

Hey Night Owl 🦉 While Trump is distracting the nation with 2028 merch, he has also ordered his MAGA Justice Department to weaponize ActBlue, our source for election donations. Please repost 🔄 if you support ActBlue and drop a 💙 #BlueCrew #FuckTrump #ActBlue #Democracy

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992. Was there a breast cancer epidemic?! NO. Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976. PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something. This is also about autism.

Pete Hegseth’s use of Signal for military planning risks national security – and it could also easily violate federal laws requiring those communications to be documented. I am urging the NARA to investigate whether the Trump administration is complying with its reporting requirements.

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They were in tears. Budgets cut. RFJK has ordered them not to publicize bird flu symptoms in exposed workers. Not to test them. Not to speak. They know people are getting sick. And they’re being forced to stay silent. This is not just a cover-up. It's cruelty.

Once again, I was left to wonder: was Pete Hegseth signal chatting military attack plans to everyone but me?? Am I the one that’s insecure, or is it his communication practices that are insecure?

Judge Boasberg’s opinion in JGG v. Trump (4/16/25) is a masterpiece of judicial reasoning. He explains exactly why our legal system couldn’t survive tolerating willful defiance of clear judicial orders — even if those orders are ultimately overturned on appeal. The Supreme Court will have to agree.

Republicans are trying to steal an election in North Carolina. They have been laying the groundwork for five months, and unless the federal courts intervene, they just might succeed. If they do, it could usher in a new era of election subversion in future contests across the country.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

In Texas, 61% of people living in nursing homes rely on Medicaid. People in mental health facilities and other care facilities also rely on Medicaid payments. President Trump's and House Republicans' proposal to cut Medicaid to finance a tax cut for billionaires is a bad plan.

Today is a good day to share what one witness told me recently about what the Republicans' proposed Medicaid cuts would mean for Medicaid recipients and for all patients throughout the health care system that relies on Medicaid payments. Devastating.

I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.
