Believe me, I understand that my activism is a problem for you. Please know that your inactivism is similarly problematic for me. It's part of the reason I am as angry as I am. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-conce...

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 This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.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

NEW: Despite all appearances, the White House insists that Elon Musk is not in charge of DOGE. US Doge Service employees can't get a straight answer about who is.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Let's be fkn for real, the Dems can't save us because REPUBLICANS HAVE CONTROL over the House, Senate, White House & Supreme Court. So maybe can we focus and try pressuring the vulnerable Republicans hanging on to their seats by a thread. #reeciecolbertshow youtube.com/shorts/1ionR...

Only one media outlet is reporting that LA Mayor Karen Bass' mic was turned off during the roundtable with Donald Trump last night. None of them are reporting that they physically took away her microphone too because she kept trying to fact check him. Shameful.

TODAY IN HISTORY: A convicted felon was sworn is as president of the US – voted in by people who wanted free eggs and gas (socialism). I pray for the innocent who did not vote for Felon47 who will be harmed by the chaos to come. For those who did may the #FAFO phase come to you first. Blessed Be.

I was there. The high was 30 degrees, the low 19 for President Barack Obama's #InaugurationDay Jan. 20, 2009. It was bitterly cold. The inauguration marked the largest attendance of any event in the history of Washington, D.C. President Obama wasn't afraid of the cold and neither were 1.8 million.

Everyone pray for Southern California. I am safe. I'm just 15 miles south of the path of the Los Angeles County fires. I lost power and internet service last night but it's since been restored. Several friends and colleagues in the fire path had to evacuate.

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago. In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists. Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.

I met President Jimmy Carter in 2015 on a flight from Atlanta to LA. We were sitting on the tarmac, and he came up the aisle greeting passengers. This gesture was exemplary of the humility of a man whose life showed us what it means to live with grace, dignity, justice, and service. #JimmyCarter
