The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

ATTENTION: Tesla Board of Directors… look at the protests outside of Tesla dealers across America. This is what Elon is doing to Tesla. And you pay him crazy money… for that?

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

AOC: And he is running around because he thinks he got a bank account with a lot of zeros in it that it makes him some kind of super citizen. I don't think so.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

🧵Millions of us rely on the Post Office for medications, not to mention voting by mail, which is safe, secure, and hated by the Axis of Evil (Putin/Musk/Trump). Light up the Congressional switchboard! House of Representatives: 202 225 3121 Senate: 202 224 3121

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

We need a group of lawyers who are willing to take every lawsuit from every fired federal employee to the max. Bury this admin in lawsuits

Facts

The country singer started the “Imagination Library” nearly 30 years ago to encourage early literacy. www.thedailybeast.com/dolly-parton...

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

Classic con structure: the big returns are coming!

Free speech is so important to the fabric of our nation that it is in the very First Amendment. This is the GULF OF MEXICO.

Yeah, the timing is pretty obvious.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Newly hired historians today report that contrary to what "some people say," it was in fact the United States who started WWII after flagrantly violating U.S. sovereignty by bombing Pearl Harbor.

Got himself arrested on purpose while telling his city council to not put a MAGA plaque on the library because MAGA = Nazis. It worked, producing media coverage. Baller. ✊ www.latimes.com/socal/daily-...

Connolly: "The fallacy of Musk's argument is they never look at revenue. They only look at expenditures. If you want to save social security, it's a fairly easy fix. Raise income threshold subject to withholding tax & you can extend social security by 40 to 50yrs. He doesn't want to talk about that"

We are one news cycle away from Trump giving military aid to Russia.

You know this is 100% going to happen…

Do you stand behind President Zelenskyy and support Ukraine 🇺🇦 in its fight against Russia? If you do, raise a hand and pass it on! ✋

Flu season is not over! Flu activity is high in Washington. Protect yourself and your community: get your flu vaccine. It's your best defense!👇

What a shame. Teamsters deserve better than this.

US Supreme Court rules 6-3 that poisoning your rival is an official act.

‘Trump and his allies understand the power of words, and his administration is quickly becoming one that’s obsessed with perverting their meaning.’ Via @mollyjongfast.bsky.social www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

During WWII, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived. His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky. Sláva Ukrayíni!

Measles is surging, and the guy in charge of public health is RFK Jr.—an anti-vaxxer. Meanwhile, Trump is gutting the CDC, FDA, and NIH. Watch and share this. Know the symptoms. Because the people who should be protecting and informing us just got fired. (Video 🧵)

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

The pediatric vaccine schedule doesn’t need to be “scrutinized.” It has saved the young lives of millions worldwide. It’s perfectly fine as it is. Far more burning and urgent health matters to attend to. We certainly don’t need to invent one to keep busy.

Did you get help from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau? Now they need YOUR help! Your story is POWER. Americans for Financial Reform, which with @warren.senate.gov fought to create the CFPB, needs to hear stories from as many consumers as possible. Click ⬇️ actionnetwork.org/surveys/cfpb...

If you’re wondering who the Elon Musk staffers are, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has several Musk staffers, including Amanda Scales, Brian Bjelde, Stephen Duarte, Christina Hanna, and Bryanne-Michelle Mlodzianowski.

#KeepPublicLandsInPublicHands F Elon and the felon he rode in on.

Planes didn't crash when this guy ran things.

I'm feeling nostalgic for competence.

Connecticut was out at The CT Capitol today.

No one in Republican world seems to have a lot of curiosity about why Musk needs people’s personal data to engage in government cost cutting
