The question has never even been asked by what right does this man have to do all this? He has no official position with the government and is accountable to no one. This man is ruining thousands of lives and sucking up everyone’s personal information with absolutely legal recourse to stop him.

It is insanely obvious that Elon Musk is illegally exercising the powers of a principal officer of the United States in violation of the appointments clause

What’s that you say? Phase two of Project 2025 is coming into effect? The part where they ruin the economy as the ram all this other shit down our throats? Gonna go swell!

22 February 1938 | An Austrian Jewish boy, Max Leopold Hahn, was born in Vienna. On 4 October 1944 he was deported from the Theresienstadt ghetto to #Auschwitz. He was murdered in the gas chamber after the selection.

NGL, this gives me hope. Republican congressman are going to these town hall meetings that were friendly just months ago, repeating Trump talking points, and getting loudly booed. People don’t like this shit.

Quite the consequential Friday night massacre. They not only took out three top military leaders, but also the JAG officers who interpret what’s lawful and constitutional for military command.

Conflict of interest? What’s that?

Not great!

Protection? Protection from what? What did you expect would done to others but not to you?

"This puts Trump in charge of a vast investigatory and policing apparatus that can launch investigations into companies, labor unions and political opponents. It also violates numerous existing laws enacted by Congress." www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

Hard to take this guy seriously. These things will eventually affect his union. The NLRB is not going to remain worker friendly and the billionaires in the front row at the inauguration will get their way. Sean O’Brien was not in that front row.

What is this man talking about?

This is complete bullshit

New—Social Security Administration (SSA) Commissioner stepped down bc she wouldn't comply w/ DOGE. Lower-level staffer Leland Dudek replaced her. In a now-deleted LinkedIn post (pre-promotion) shared w/ me, he said he was placed on admin leave bc he "circumvented the chain of command" to help DOGE.

He’s not running this government

Grassley take a page out of Senate Democratic playbook and feigning total helplessness.

Well, we all know this means we have to cut all it now

Great let’s just throw war with Iran to the mix.

The Times spoke to people being trapped inside a Panama hotel after deportation from the US and the individual stories of horror are almost too much to bear www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

Pretty important to say as loudly and often as possible that Elon Musk is fucking with Social Security *right now* and you can ask your members of Congress wtf they’re doing about it by calling 202-224-3121 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...

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.

It’ll take restraint not to blame or make fun of these folks. I would only encourage understanding the point of reference for many was Trump’s first term which was stable and the hyperbole of Russiagating stuff was tiresome.

Please don't say that no one is doing anything. We're waiting for @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov to catch up with their constituents.

Legitimately debating whether I should fly for four years.

It’s not shocking/still shocking that we are aligning with authoritarian European governments instead of the western democracies.

Pretty clear this is where we were headed. They’re going to weaponize audits and private data to go after political enemies.

Musk sure didn't like it when ProPublica got access to his taxpayer data though. Reminder DOGE isn't a real government entity and there's an actual organization designed to track govt efficiency. It's a data mining operation.
