I’d like to hear from voters of any race who were evacuated from polling places due to bomb threats and never voted.

Musk is blaming "Herbert Sandler," among others, for secretly financing the protests and Tesla dealerships over the last few weeks. Sandler died in 2019.

Very considerate of the Republican Senators to ask Musk “gently” for “input.” Good to see the legislative branch boldly asserting its constitutional power. Some of them even got his phone number!

The weakest, most pathetic thing. Imagine becoming one of the only 535 people out of over 260,000,000 US adults with the Constitutional authority to craft the federal budget—which many aspire to their whole lives—then begging an unelected official to "let" you have a say in the federal budget.

I’ve got some free time this afternoon - let’s do a quick Q&A. Share your questions below, and I’ll answer as many as I can.

I’m reviewing an official DOGE staff list. Everybody’s number. Everybody’s email. Yes, including Elon’s. This Amy Gleason isn’t even on the list.

We need to primary every one of those ten dipshits.

Trying to put myself into the mindset of an advisor who urges a Democrat to take this vote. No general election voter would ever care about this, but you'd better believe Democrats voting in the primary will.

They’re out there bringing karaoke to a gunfight.

Starting this week, we’ll all pay more at the store because of the Trump tariffs, even while he’s finalizing a multi-trillion-dollar tax cut for the wealthy. All the bluster is meant to get us talking about literally anything else.

Plunder of public funds and resources

“Paid protesters” has been a reliable excuse for the right since the civil rights era. Segregationists claimed the high schoolers who desegregated Central High in Little Rock were paid to do so.

Will they also be disposing of the memorial honoring the federal workers murdered by a far right anti-government terrorist?

yeah. it seems plausible that DOGE has just straight-up broken government payment systems and can't fix them.

“It’s time to rev up the opposition and come at Trump loud and clear” … by wearing various colored clothes with obscure messaging? What the absolute fuck is wrong with Democrats? You’ve got Hollywood on speed dial but all the dramatic savviness of a summer camp musical.

Democrats act like they are the minority party in a democratic government coalition, but we need them to be the opposition party against an autocratic regime.

I think there's some truth to this. The faster everything falls apart here, the sooner they can play out their narrative of "saving" humanity from itself. It's deeply sociopathic

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Enough about the price of eggs, from everyone. Cut the shit. The economy isn’t broken. It’s working exactly as they designed it—to keep you desperate, distracted, and exhausted while they cash in.

Let’s see, Donald Trump launched his crypto business right before taking office. Melania did the day before the inauguration. Junior launched a new one too. Oh, and of course Eric did.

The ACLU is suing the Trump admin to stop the transfer of immigrants to Guantanamo Bay. The suit alleges the transfers are "arbitrary and capricious" and violate federal law and the U.S. Constitution, citing the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.

the united states needs a cryptocurrency reserve in case it needs to import massive amounts of heroin without the united states detecting it or as a hedge against the collapse of the united states

This is 100% bullshit. There are no algorithms. Musk and his incel clown posse are not forensic accountants and do not know how to audit. Discovering fraud is a labor-intensive project that can never be done by looking at payments alone. This is just a thinly-veiled rationale to gut Social Security.

Third Way exists to give Politico and Axios the quotes for rarebit articles, and Politico and Axios exist to give Third Way an unearned sense of relevance. Just ignore them all, and don't fall for their effort to make Third Way the secret voice of actual Democrats

That’s still overly generous; much of what they’ve cut was short-term expenses that would have saved the government money in the long term.

An executive order is merely an order from the executive to the people that work for that executive. Eg, “State Dept go do XYZ.” It is *executing* a legal authority stemming from either the Constitution or congressional law. It’s not creating law. We need to require high schools to teach civics.

Trump’s false denial that he called Zelenskyy a dictator is a classic disinformation tactic. Deny even verifiable facts to cause public cynicism, disgust, and, ultimately, disengagement from politics.

I can't stop laughing at this man I'm sorry. This is the kind of shit the biggest loser in the world would say to their girlfriend about buying her flowers on Valentine's Day once, and he's doing so in an argument that started because he called her a bitch

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

For the foreseeable future, let’s just agree that raw food is not ok for pets. This includes eggs and raw milk.

Measles top Page One. @usatoday.com

Today's @usatoday.com front page First US death from measles in 10 years First child to die from measles in 22 years in the US All of this fully preventable

Sadly, this entirely preventable death is not unexpected. Measles mortality is about 1%. apnews.com/article/meas...

Amazing scenes. There’s a reason Trump/Elon love the executive orders and the king routine, and part of it is: they don’t have the votes to do it constitutionally.

The United States is on the verge of becoming a pariah state like North Korea. Which the rest of the world will refuse to have any kind of relationship with.
