This is a great idea. Call/write your banks and financial institutions and what they are doing to protect your account from DOGE Inundate them. It is a valid question and they should have a response. Put your anxiety to work.

I realized how delightfully convenient it is that musk has tweeted a textbook’s worth of logical fallacies. If you have screenshots of idiotic claims he’s tweeted (verified) to add to my collection, I am in a position to create this musk-logical fallacies textbook to share for everyone.

Nice economy you have there, it would be a shame if someone destroyed the foundations of trust and exchange upon which the entire society underpinning the functioning of your economic successes are built

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

BREAKING: Donald Trump just fired General CQ Brown (left) and has replaced him with the less qualified Lt. General Dan Caine. DEI isn’t a problem if you’re white.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

I think there’s this tendency to assume Musk enters each agency with some kind of plan. But his office is 30 people, largely children, and the federal government employs millions. He spends half his time on drugs, tweeting, doing interviews. It’s all random noise www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: It’s 4am—still debating the Republicans’ billionaire tax giveaway. We offered an amendment to say no tax cut for those making over $10m. Every Republican voted no. So we tried $100m. Every Repub voted no. So we tried $500m! Every Republican a no. See what’s going on?

At this point a Republican congressman could get on stage and say “Listen up—I am a Nazi! I think Hitler is good! I think it would be a good idea to build some camps!” and the NYT would lead with “Debate Over Puzzling Remarks From Rally Outburst”

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥
