DOGE has sent out an email that is unlawful. DOGE has the sent that email out using a private server, so it is getting classified as spam. DOGE is sending the email to judicial employees (AGAIN), an entirely separate branch. Please explain to me how Elon Musk is a genius?

The resignation of a federal employee must be voluntary. I highly doubt failure to respond to this email---sent on a Saturday---would be understood by any court to be a voluntary resignation.

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

Elon Musk issuing government edicts on the platform he owns. I guess if you are on a vacation, in the hospital, etc, the government will just assume you've resigned if you don't respond to the email?

Slashing NIH funding is a direct attack on life-saving research happening in Minnesota and across the country. The Trump administration's proposed cuts would jeopardize breakthroughs in cancer, heart disease, PTSD treatment, and more. We must continue to fight back.

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

Elon Musk has plans for Wisconsin, and they start with electing his bag man, Brad Schimel, to our highest court. Musk wants to ensure he can prevent any check on himself and Trump from the states, and he's starting here in Wisconsin. We need to stand up to Musk, together. buff.ly/3YRqw0V

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.
