Elon Musk--a special U.S. government employee in the White House--has gone all-in to help the AfD in Germany. On behalf of the anti-fascist majority of the American people, I say to the people of Germany: Please ignore him or reject him. He does not speak for America.

TAX THE CHURCHES TAX THE RICH REMOVE THE CAP FROM SOCIAL SECURITY CONTRIBUTIONS HANDS OFF OF SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE, MEDICAID AND SNAP AGREE? ✋

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

“Congress wants to cut government but not their own budgets. Elon Musk's 'Dept. of Government Efficiency' wants to slash spending—except on his own gov-funded ventures. If they’re serious about cuts, they should start with their own staff and perks. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/elon-musks...

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

What a shock, no tax on overtime and no tax on tips didn't make it into Trump's tax proposal. I am so surprised.q

jamelle is correct

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Wasn’t it just a week ago that we were supposed to get a 30-day pause? And now, suddenly, he’s focused on steel and aluminum imports? No one in Canada is surprised. Did anyone actually believe this guy? That his word meant anything? He’s a criminal.

Best post of the season.

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.

We highly recommend y’all crack open a copy of the U.S. Constitution before you break anymore laws…

Connolly: "There's a difference between cutting waste fraud and abuse, and dismantling whole agencies. No one gave Trump, no one gave Elon Musk that authority. It is unconstitutional. It is unlawful. It is a violation of Article 1. And we're gonna fight it."

Trump has essentially replaced Congress with Elon Musk. Trump has no authority to do this, but the Republicans who control Congress seems cool with it The last bulwark is the courts, who top administration officials (including Vice President Vance) are suggesting Trump could and should ignore

I’m sure “DOGE” will be all over this.. truthout.org/articles/tes...

Is it any surprise that the guy who stole classified secrets and kept them in the crapper would allow a guy to run off with the personal information of every single American?

Everyone understands that Russia basically got the United States to dismantle the CIA through Trump and is infinitely stupid followers, right?

“The Golden Age of America”

www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv... When you have a moment Read and Share History Repeats

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

Over 100 ICE agents spent 5 hrs in Chicago last week, arresting only 2. In Denver & Aurora, CO, over 400 agents were dispatched for migrant violence linked to Tren de Aragua. After knocking on hundreds of doors, only 1 member was arrested. (NYP, ABC News)

BREAKING: we have secured an order that BLOCKS the government from releasing the names of the 6000 FBI agents being illegally targeted by Trump & Bondi for their lawful work on the January 6 cases! A big win by @sddaction.bsky.social & our incredible partners for rule of law & the FBI

Trump and co-president Musk want you confused, exhausted, and divided while they burn our country down from the inside. If we stop fighting back, they win.

"Elon Musk may have pleasured himself with his ability to slash Twitter’s workforce and turn it into a janky site for fascist fanboys. But America is not a software company." Good @clarajeffery.bsky.social here and hope we have some of our actually elected leaders read this and get off their ass

"Hitler didn't steal the power, his people voted for him. And then he destroyed his people." - Pope Francis

And so it begins. Sam Kuffel, a meteorologist for CBS58, has reportedly been fired for criticizing Elon Musk’s arm gesture on her personal social media account.
