Today the Senate votes on Kash Patel for our FBI Director. Call them. Leave message. (202) 224-3121. Patel is a danger to American democracy & to every American. - he aims to weaponize the FBI against journalists, government officials, nonprofit organizations, and to all freedom loving Americans.

This is an absolute fucking disaster. Teenaged cybercriminals with physical access to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

Yeah, this is pretty obvious but worth stressing. Also, the idea that techbro coders with no experience in government are best able to identify and root out “fraud” is laughable

I’m old enough to remember a time in this country when conservatives and liberals alike would have laughed this fascist out of a primary.

You should ask yourself why the GOP wants to impeach judges who rule against them but not Clarence Thomas, who failed to report millions of dollars in bribes, erm, “gifts” on his financial disclosures.

This is why you shouldn’t give a crazed lunatic and his group of punk-ass kids access to classified information. It’s not Rocket Science. #DeportMusk

Of course the guy who tried to overthrow an American election will defy court orders. Of course he will. And if you still doubt that, you need to pull your head out of your ass and wake up.

Elon Musk changed his name on his Twitter account (where he has 217 million followers) to Harry Bōlz (hairy balls) in the event you were hoping a sane adult had access to all of your personal information and was running the country.

The AP must refuse this but more importantly the rest of the White House Correspondents Association should back them. Boycott the press briefings until they relent, and if they refuse, walk out. There is no real use to them in any case. Trump craves attention. Deny him that and he’ll cave.

Having a National Prayer Breakfast doesn't make us a Christian country. That would require caring for the poor & sick, welcoming the stranger and only letting sinless people execute prisoners.

After gutting USAID and grabbing access to the Treasury's payment systems, DOGE is reportedly targeting the Social Security Administration next. The richest man in the world could get his hands on the agency that oversees your earned benefits. This is a five-alarm fire.

I cannot even begin to state how sick this makes me feel. This is evil. And must be resisted with everything.

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections. Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

Trump and Musk’s attacks on the civil service—from air traffic controllers to food and drug inspectors—aim to destroy Congressional power, which is the people's power. The real “Fork in the Road” is between democracy and autocracy. Don’t quit on American democracy.

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Elon Musk used all the freedoms and opportunities of the USA, the country that defeated the Nazis, to become the wealthiest human being on earth. So how does he return the favor? He salutes the Nazis, then leads in the destruction of the Country made him. To me- that’s as traitorous as it gets.

Just 3 years ago Rubio wrote a letter to Biden suggesting they increase the USAID budget as a tool to “counter the CCP’s expanding global influence.” Contradicting comments he made Monday that dismissed concerns of China stepping in where USAID left. www.cnn.com/2025/02/05/p...

This is a perfect example of today's congressional Republican -- she confidently repeats an idiotic lie from Trump that's already been disproven, is immediately called out for the lie, and just lets what would normally be a career-ending moment roll right off her back. No brain, no shame.

No one voted for this rich usurper who is now trying to re-make the US government. He has no right to access data and private information!

How Elon Musk can gain access to the payment systems of the American government confounds me. Are there no laws or restrictions that would deny a private citizen from doing this? I’d love to hear from government employees or experts on this.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.
