Elon Musk and the ultra-rich don’t need more tax breaks—especially at the expense of your healthcare. Slashing Medicaid to fund handouts for billionaires is a betrayal at its worst. It’s all part of the GOP Tax Scam.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

wearing sunglasses inside and following an event where he at times had a hard time speaking coherently, Elon Musk walks off the CPAC stage waving around a chain saw. this is the guy currently running our government. Congrats, America!

Last night MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell said Trump was the first U.S. president to “switch sides during a war.” That aptly describes Trump’s betrayal but it can’t begin to convey the depravity of what Trump did in throwing our ally overboard and lying about every facet of Putin’s criminal aggression.

"even lawmakers within his party have feared for their personal safety, and at least one has told confidants that it has swayed his decision-making" "Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination"

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

It’s not about “government efficiency.” It’s about autocratic power.

Thx Trump

The daily chaos we're seeing, planes dropping out of the sky and nuclear weapons officials being fired, measles outbreaks, is all on trump -- the guy who ran to be in fucking charge. There are unqualified people at every position he nominated, so things will get MUCH worse. We're only 28 days in.

"the house of the USAID mission director in Kinshasa had been looted, and videos of the ransacking began circulating on social media..." www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Why is the richest man in the world cutting cancer research?

This is extraordinarily dangerous. Tomorrow, the legacy media will ask Republican officials about this. Those officials will lie and obfuscate. And the legacy media will move on. That is part of the crisis we face.

“If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.” Damn. static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

Truly wild to see how Trump is playing second fiddle to Elon Musk. Musk is clearly acting as the de-facto president while Trump just fires off social media posts as if he is Musk's assistant.

Elon Musk mansplaining democracy and unelected folks in the government is rich. STFD

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

The U.S. Army and U.S. Navy have removed all web pages highlighting women’s military service. Weak men always fear and are threatened by strong women. I’ll never regret voting for VP Kamala Harris.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social Yes!!! Welcome and thank you!!

American Medical Association is providing regular updates on bird flu and other infectious diseases on YouTube. I highly recommend subscribing to their page, especially since CDC has been axed by FOTUS #Voices4Victory m.youtube.com/user/AmerMed...

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Eagles!!

Contrary to popular belief, Democrats aren't powerless right now. There are parliamentary guerrilla tactics that Senate Democrats can use to slow, stall, and obstruct MAGA at every turn: indivisible.org/reso...

Thank you. So so tired of the bs about the reality of my beloved State of California.

USAID cutoff is "leaving people around the world with experimental drugs and medical products in their bodies, cut off from the researchers who were monitoring them, and generating waves of suspicion and fear" www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/h...

Tragic

Number of times I’ve heard trans people say Evangelicals shouldn’t exist: 0 Number of times I’ve heard Evangelicals say trans people shouldn’t exist: Approximately 563, 843 and counting… Decent people know who the real danger is.

The DNC raised a billion dollars and lost to a felon! Then apparently decided to lick their wounds instead of preparing a battle plan. So here we are. Stop sending me requests for funds. @actblueorg.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov

I just met with Community Health Centers from Oregon that told me providers across our state are starting layoffs because of Trump's funding freeze. Donald Trump is already forcing kids and families to go without the health care they need.

Dear @Doge If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing
