Public health teams are being gutted, imperiling efforts to safeguard organ donation and prevent maternal and infant death. Many workers expressed fear at what would happen to the work they left behind. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Country first. Courage always.

Wow Trump truly is the world’s greatest negotiator

Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA): “A program is not waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world. It is not fraud just because he doesn’t like it."

Musk has tweeted more than 220 times in last 24 hrs. That's not counting the replies.

If you are in line to be the next Pope, stay in line!

schadenfreude

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money, an EARNED benefit!

This is how our government has been corrupted:  1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.  2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.  3) Donors make a huge profit.  4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

The Secretary of Defense goes on tv to explain he is preparing to have the military break the law.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

DOGE isn't saving us money. DOGE is forcing us to DIY society--to manage all the costs, risks, and problems that government is best poised to solve.

Has anyone called Bitcoin “Dunning-Krugerrand” yet?

If you think this is cool, I can't help you.

And guess who will bear the brunt of a DIY society? If you are curious, Prof. Calarco has a book for you.

Medicaid insures children and people with disabilities that can’t hold a job. This is just a way to cut care for regular people and give the 💰 to the wealthy. Call your reps now! (202) 224-3121

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

no more kings actually also includes no more billionaires fwiw

💯

Another win! This morning, we killed a bill that would have taken $50M of the Montana budget and spent it on cyrptocurrency, NFTs, and precious metals.

Insufferable Nate is at it again. Historian friends....<big giant eye roll>

This is not a summit, it’s a performance review.

Spending isn't a “conspiracy” just because Musk doesn’t know how to read usaspending.gov. A program isn't waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world. It isn't fraud just because he doesn’t like it. A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices" muskwatch.com/subscribe

That’s not a business practice!

When you watch local TV news tonight, you might not learn that this happening at the RI State House right now.

The GOP is signaling major cuts to Medicaid are coming. Recent studies have shown cuts to Medicaid have a big consequence that gets typically ignored: crime increases. boltsmag.org/medicaid-cov...

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

But... but... but... the DOJ said that Elon had no authority other than to advise the President.

We are not going to be silenced, and we are not going to allow Elon Musk and Donald Trump to attack Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security without strong opposition from Democrats in Congress.

Elon Musk is not the owner of the US Government and his email to all federal workers is bullshit

this is an act of unspeakable violence. it benefits no one, it doesn’t move a number on a balance sheet. it only guarantees that every one of these incarcerated transgender people will be tortured.

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

NPR speaking about a relocation that will kill trans people as casually as if they were merely describing the relocation of library books from one shelf to another.

How many of my academic friends saw this? Pitt Pauses All PhD Admissions. www.wesa.fm/health-scien...

DOGE has been sending their mass emails from a misconfigured server, causing DOGE emails to fail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) validation. This means that agencies are probably marking DOGE emails as spam.

Unlawfully and disgracefully.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

His brain is cooked

PBS Newshour gave a twelve minute interview to Daily Wire host Michael Knowles, who has called for the “eradication” of trans people from society

Musk’s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars. apnews.com/article/musk...
