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.

Just like we shouldn’t be firing FAA employees when commercial airliners are flipping upside down.

Do you make less than $360,000 a year? Your taxes are about to go UP. And you have Trump, Musk, and the Republicans to thank for it.

Let's be clear: CQ Brown was fired because Trump and Hegseth couldn't see past his skin color. General Brown has 40 years of distinguished service. Trump and Hegseth just want yes men who look like them. This is destabilizing for our nation.

The disrespect has been shocking but this is now full on contempt. All it takes is 3 Republicans to join us and leave behind the silence and complicity. We must call out Musk on his harassment of the civil servants who keep our country running. Keep the pressure on.

friends! i'm looking to schedule a fresh round of interviews for CANNED: Conversations about Getting Fired. it's exactly what it sounds like, we talk about that time you got fired. i'm the host, @amyguth.bsky.social is the producer, and we're 1000% on your side. start w the FAQ, here:

“This is someone who made his money by ripping off American taxpayers and who shouldn’t come anywhere near a position of authority over tax dollars,” said Sen. Ron Wyden about Schuler’s appointment. “He’ll fit right in with the Trump administration.” By @peterelkind.bsky.social

💥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...

NEWS: Right now, Republicans appearing at town halls around the country are being heckled and confronted by constituents. It is likely only just the beginning. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Hahaha! Love it! The 🍊💩 stain too afraid to make an appearance where he might look like the douche canoe he is. Probably too busy on the golf course or stealing americans retirement to notice. #fucktrump #proudcanadian #canadagold #iamcanadian #teamcanada

These people all have actual conflicts of interest that should keep them from working on any investigations like this. It's a measure of how tainted and corrupt this Justice Department is becoming and it breaks my heart. I hope it doesn't break our country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

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...

DOGE’s accounting of its “savings” is riddled with sloppy mistakes. The five largest cuts that it listed on its website earlier this week were all incorrect — making the savings look far larger than they were in reality.

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.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Remarkable: Trump's own pollster just found that in swing House districts, Dems lead by 5 points and voters want tax policy to prioritize working people, per Politico. Yet GOP is about to brutally slash the safety net and give the rich huge tax cuts! New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1918...

Get Ready For Delayed Tax Refunds, Long Hold Times After Mass IRS Firings But wealthy tax evaders will enjoy “a feast” as the strained federal agency lacks the resources to hold them accountable, said one tax policy expert.

This is a shameful way to treat our fellow citizens who are public servants. This doesn’t make America great.

Associated Press sues White House over ban from Oval Office and Air Force One www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

If someone wanted to destroy the United States from within, would they do anything differently than what Trump is doing right now?

NYT is the paper of record, and an article might someday be cited outside the context known to today’s readers. It needs to spare a sentence or two to explain that Musk spent an ungodly fortune to elect Trump, whose DOJ is making overtly political and likely corrupt decisions on pursuing cases.

Did you know that 72 MILLION Americans rely on Medicaid for healthcare? The Trump Administration and MAGA Republicans in Congress want to take it away to give tax breaks to billionaires. Don't let them take away our healthcare. Let them know you didn’t vote for this shit.

REPOST if you stand with Maine Governor Janet Mills against Donald Trump!

Maine Governor Janet Mills is reportedly considering a run for the U.S. Senate against GOP incumbent Susan Collins. After taking on Donald Trump today, she’s shown that she has what it takes to win this race. support @GovJanetMills for the Senate!

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

BREAKING: USCP is arresting Enrique Tarrio for swiping his hand at a counterprotester who got in his face.

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

I don’t have kids. I just care about the world and the people who live in it. It’s never wrong to do the right thing.

The FDIC protects your hard earn money in the bank and helps prevent another financial crash. Trump and Musk’s move to fire these workers is dangerous. I led Senate Democrats in pushing back, and now independent investigators are on the case.

I just wanna congratulate @meidastouch.com for beating Joe Rogan, and thank them for recommending my Substack. Indie media FTW! Check theirs out here: www.meidasplus.com

When billionaires start running government agencies without being elected, that’s not innovation—it’s a coup. Elon Musk’s grip on power isn’t about efficiency, it’s about control. Democracy isn’t for sale.

Odd the “America First” people have the same exact agenda as the Kremlin

Maddow: All of this absolutely historically unprecedented. No president has ever come out of the gate with numbers like this ever before. And it is across the board

Carville: The key issue is that in this century under Democratic President 50 million jobs have been created. One million jobs under Republicans
