I need everyone to be crystal clear that this is a continuation of RFK and the wellness community’s obsession with the elimination of the disabled and the chronically ill. They are disgusted by us, they view illness and disability as weakness, and they believe in using eugenics to disappear us.

Call me old fashioned, but being Russia’s KGB agent “Krasnov” since 1987 should disqualify Trump from being President of the United States. Retroactively, immediately, and forever.

@msnbc.com Watch your words, reporters and show hosts! (Just heard Vaughn.) What Trump and Musk striding to the government is NOT a “restructuring.” It is destroying and weakening it.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Call it the Musk-Trump Veteran Firing Program. Nearly a third of the federal workers are veterans, and the figure is much higher at DoD. Musk and Trump are going to fire tens of thousands of American veterans, on top of the thousands they already fired. “Thank you for your service, you’re fired.”

@maddow.msnbc.com rounds up the polling numbers on Trump/Musk/DOGE/chaos, and that's some pretty fast declines in public opinion. Not to sell hopium—they could bounce around, or be insufficient to put steel in any part of Congress' spine but... www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social A dream I had yesterday: I had an appointment with a primary care doctor. It was you! You listened well and were very supportive. A comforting dream when lots of other people I know are having nightmares. 😊

Tump has done nothing that would not be on a Russian wish list: -Ukraine invaded Russia. Support Putin. -A de facto Russian agent head of Intelligence. -Kills USAID, the largest competitor against Russia for foreign influence -A drunk cutting defense budget. That's a few. It's a long list.

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

well, of course 🤬 Republicans are about to roll back a Biden-era rule that capped bank overdraft fees at $5 and closed an outdated overdraft loophole. They’re fighting to bring back excessive predatory overdraft fees—lining the pockets of big banks at the expense of working families

@kaine.senate.gov @beyer.house.gov @markwarner.bsky.social @dscc.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social I think secret votes might help. I know you can’t hold folks accountable for their votes that way. But maybe the scared GOP would feel less scared to vote against Trump.
