Hold the fuck on — members of Elon Musk's private security detail have been deputized by the U.S. Marshals Service? What the actual fuck?!?!?

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

It's past midnight, and Senate Republicans are voting NO against every Democratic-led amendment to PROTECT HEALTH CARE for our families. Pay close attention: Republicans are working to push kids off Medicaid to pass MORE tax cuts for billionaires.

We have reached out to the company who was awarded this contract and they have confirmed the ceiling was $8 million—NOT billion. Here is their statement. The federal government is cooking the books.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are messing with your Medicare benefits. Democrats passed a law to finally let Medicare negotiate with Big Pharma for lower prices. Now Trump and Musk laid off the negotiators. That means higher drug costs for you. Nothing efficient about that.

From an FDA probationary employee: the firings are coming from outside the agency without cause and with zero input from supervisors (as promised.) More firings expected between now and Tuesday. Do not open the termination email before you download your documents and performance evals.

My office is hearing reports that the Trump administration’s purges include firing veterans who have served our country for years. Our veterans deserve better. If you've been impacted, call congress: (202) 224-3121 And share your story: www.veterans.senate.gov/contact-rank...

This is the dumbest timeline. Trump fired a bunch of people that oversee our nukes because he had no idea what they did, so he had to hire them back. More proof this is a hatchet job www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/c...

Trump is laying off hundreds @bonnevillepower.bsky.social who literally keep the lights on. We're talking about electricians & engineers, to dispatchers, to lineworkers, to cybersecurity experts. Ratepayers support BPA—NOT federal funding. This is putting our energy grid at serious risk!

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at. You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters. Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

I’m sure most Senators understand the danger in confirming RFK Jr. But here's the thing: conscience is a muscle. Courage is a muscle. The less you use them, the more they fade away. If you do not draw a line somewhere, you will cross every line you could ever imagine.

The Trump administration’s efforts to freeze foreign aid and dismantle USAID have resulted in mass chaos, panic, and fear — both at home and abroad. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, USAID workers and their families were left scrambling to arrange and pay for their own emergency evacuations…
