Big news for anyone with federal student loans: after we rang the alarm, a judge stopped Elon Musk and his team from seizing your personal data. This is why we get in the fight.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

I’m thrilled that my friend @msheatherwebb.bsky.social will be joining me for a virtual event presented by Warwick’s in La Jolla, CA this weekend! We will be chatting about THE DRESSMAKERS OF LONDON on Saturday at 10 a.m. PST. The event is free with registration: www.warwicks.com/event/kelly-...

The thing is, when we had high marginal tax rates on the rich, the rich still had yachts and second and third houses and fancy vacations and really good schools for their kids, so, yes, I think most people who are really very rich would do just fine, and the rest of the US would do better than now.

Narcissist, much?

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 This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.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...

Young voters really don't like Elon Musk. His unfavorability is 54% with all voters. 67% with voters under 30. Feels important for a party that needs to win a much bigger share of young voters.

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

Just a reminder that the neither the U.S. Digital Service (which has been converted into DOGE) nor OPM has any legal authority to direct every single federal government employee to give them a job summary. Literally no such authority at all.

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...

Script for calling reps about this: why did the administration cut funding for early detection of one of the most fatal kinds of cancer?

Obviously also life advice: Do everything in your power to not be an asshole. It's a very rare book that can succeed without the enthusiasm and goodwill of friends. (And everyone talks shit about the assholes.)

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

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.

U.S. stocks took a massive nosedive after reports showed worries about how Donald Trump’s policies will likely affect the economy

According to ProPublica, dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since abortion bans were implemented, compared with maternal deaths in the state immediately before the pandemic.

Firings are focused on new hires, many of whom investigate fraud and evasion.

Every ten minutes here is like: - Trump doubles student debt - Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs - Three planes just crashed - Trump signs EO making women illegal - Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA - Meteor not arriving fast enough

Harris won 74,999,166 votes or 48.3% of votes cast in 2024 election, compared to the Felon's 77,284,118 votes or 49.8% of votes. A razor-thin difference of 1.5%. Those nearly 75 million Harris voters are looking to you, our reps., to fight for US, the people. Right here and right now. #fightback

@southwestairlines.bsky.social doing it right #blackhistorymonth

URGENT: The folks at Americans for Financial Reform are looking for stories from people who’ve been helped by CFPB. Please read this call to action and share far and wide! 🚨 Let’s save CFPB 🚨 Pass it on.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Doing great 👍

Do NOT open your door for any authority unless they have a warrant — from a court, signed by a judge. NO warrant, NO entry. If they arrest you, you ALWAYS have the right to remain silent, even if they don’t read you any rights. The ONLY thing to say: “I want a lawyer.”

Spot on.

ATTN HHS EMPLOYEES: Firing notices are going out. I am in receipt of an email saying they will revoke your access as soon as you read the email that you've been fired. Please download everything you need before you open that email. SHARE FAR & WIDE. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/attn-hhs-e...

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

A total of SIX government attorneys resigned today, rather than obey Trump’s order to dismiss the case against NYC Mayor Adams! WOW!!!

#MorningVibe Athlete or not, women can relate to this message. I’m continually told that I’m too much. Too ambitious, too emotional, too competitive, too outspoken. F*ck that. Push harder. Live your best life. Fabulous ad by Nike!

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.
