SpaceX just landed a $5.92B contract with the Pentagon for Space Force rocket launches — the largest contract among the three firms who secured deals to send satellites into orbit. While DOGE cuts essential services for you, Musk is getting a taxpayer-funded windfall. Hello?

France’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. South Korea’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Brazil’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Only America’s decided a criminal must be allowed to break its laws and destroy its democracy.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Senate Democratic leadership essentially played dead today and greenlit the Trump-Musk-Vance coup. What is the point of the Democratic Party if it doesn't actually act like an opposition party? Hello?

I’m struck by how close we’re getting to finally curing some of the world’s worst diseases—sickle cell, Alzheimers, pancreatic cancer, etc.—at the same time that the world’s worst people are destroying medical research and care around the world.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

A lot of attention gets paid to the great writing and acting in THE WHITE LOTUS but I also want to emphasize how much the show works just because it looks and sounds great. The show is a consistent pleasure to look at and hear in a way most TV shows aren't.

Democrats don’t have a lot of power right now, but they do have leverage in that Republicans can’t pass a budget alone. They should absolutely block this in a spending bill.

That “HE GETS US” ad is funded by an extreme right wing org. Using Johnny Cash’s cover of Depeche Mode’s “Personal Jesus” - a scathing critique of right-wing televangelists preying on the unwary - is a spectacular self-own.

The public polling on Trump will be positive until it becomes clear what’s happening. But see how Germany is now responding to the far right parties compared to before. Quiet coup, slowing boiling frog, whatever you want to call it, it must eventually show its real nature to all. Let THAT sink in.

This is not just a musing from a dude with some various ideas. The next step is to hollow out the judiciary and also not follow their rulings, which have been against Musk’s efforts. This is a very obvious coup, for those not paying attention.

All kidding aside, the reason he is doing this is to establish some kind of culpability by @profgalloway.com and I. We never threatened these people but it is all in service of getting his supporters to think we did. It’s not a random tweet — all planned for a larger effort to silence us or worse.

This tweet is setting up the Trump administration to thrust the U.S. into a constitutional crisis and obliterate our system of checks and balances as we know it.
