Every Dem Senator and Rep should publicly call Musk a dick and dare that dick DC US Atty to "investigate" them all.

"We are getting lots of calls about Musk and lots of calls thanking me for sticking up for Ukraine..." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Remarkable: Trump's own pollster just found that in swing House districts, Dems lead by 5 points and voters want tax policy to prioritize working people, per Politico. Yet GOP is about to brutally slash the safety net and give the rich huge tax cuts! New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1918...

you dumb motherfucker, I'm sure that is what will come out of the ashes of the US-led international order jacobin.com/2025/02/trum...

Valuing diversity is not a crime Installing white men in every position of power is not a meritocracy

"The crowd again started shouting “tax Elon,” “tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich” and “tax the billionaires.” " www.lagrandeobserver.com/news/local/r...

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

Hey @chatterton.bsky.social Rufo, among many other things, made up evidence that Haitians were eating people's pets. Now some 500,000 Haitians who were here legally are likely going to get deported. Glad he criticized you in "good faith" though. Enjoy staying on a platform run by the administration

Ah cool, our right-wingers are too controversial for the National Rally

TRUMP (lying): We just had the highest poll numbers I've ever had. Ever. And actually a record for a Republican. REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS 👏👏👏👏

Statement from the Musk-appointed head of SSA celebrating the deletion of research grants studying the financial security of the older adults and the disabled. Just one way that the richest man in the world is dictating societal priorities. www.ssa.gov/news/press/r...

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

Musk wielding a chainsaw at CPAC to celebrate firing thousands of federal employees tells me he's an unstable villain with crazy power and wealth. I honestly believe it's too much for him to take. His damage is devastating, but I honestly don't know if he can handle this power. He's spinning out.

Here's @bluestein.bsky.social's uncensored thread of the town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA), in which an unhappy audience pushes back against DOGE cuts: threadreaderapp.com/thread/18927...
