Trump wants Musk to destroy America faster

Make that billionaire.

If our universities fall so fast, what is a student think about their safety and security on their campus?

Thank you Democracy Docket for putting this handy Trump Accountability tracker together that gets updated each week!

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

Well said, pass it on.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Karma.

I said what I said.

Because of a Trump executive order, the Census Bureau is stopping work on statistics that could help protect the rights of transgender people, its recently departed director, Robert Santos, tells NPR. By @hansilowang.bsky.social

The Atlantic writer Anne Applebaum says President Trump's dismantling of the U.S. civil service system, and his attacks on judges and his opponents, are part of a playbook on undermining democracy. 🎧 tinyurl.com/3w32xujf

"See you in Court", love it.

Keep up the pressure; it is working. Let's show them how incompetent this administration is by how often they must retreat from another bad idea.

Many of President Trump’s early actions are unpopular, Washington Post-Ipsos poll finds, and 57% say he has exceeded his authority since taking office. (Dan Balz, @sfcpoll.bsky.social @emgusk.bsky.social, Washington Post-unlocked) www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Canada scored an unusually symbolic win as it defeated Team USA in the championship of the 4 Nations Face-Off, a tournament whose intensity was ratcheted up by recently strained relations prompted by U.S. tariff threats and President Donald Trump’s calls to annex Canada as the 51st state.

Protesters gathered outside Rep. David Schweikert's office to demand that he push back on President Donald Trump and Elon Musk's overhaul of the federal government. www.azcentral.com/story/news/p...

Take away: they want people to die. Amid one of the most severe flu seasons in recent history, the Trump administration pulled the plug on CDC's "Wild to Mild" flu vaccine ad campaign, which targeted high-risk groups. (NPR) www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Arresting someone for calling you fascist seems an excellent approach to proving their point.

Congestion pricing is working. The majority of voters want NYC to keep it. ⬇️ Traffic ⬇️ Air pollution Faster buses and more $$$ for transit 🚌👏 When was the last time Donald Trump took the subway or the bus in New York? Our statement:

I could see him saying this! open.substack.com/pub/borowitz...

Breaking News: Washington Post reports Trump Adm orders Pentagon to make 8% cuts each year to defense budget. This reminds me of this statement from history. When will those on the sidelines speak up against Trump?

He is creating his power & empire right in front of your face and you are doing nothing #GOP. You will be sorely disappointed if you think he will give you what you want for your complicity. He doesn't care about you. You are only a means to an end. #ProtestWeMust #ProtestForDemocracy

Do you really think they give a $%#& about waste, fraud, and abuse?

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.

Incompetent much. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-a...

“History reflects the Framers’ decision to give Congress, not the president, the authority to generate the executive-organization chart,” Peter M. Shane writes:

And we now have an anti-vaxxer leading HHS, thanks to the Republican majority in the Senate. What happens from today forward is on you.

Oh, let's try to guess what his next illegal activity will be.

Day 1, he said, he'd bring down prices. Enough voters believed the propaganda. Here we are, higher YET prices with no end in sight because he doesn't care and staff is being fired that would be available to fight the bird flu epidemic.

Excellent depiction of the Oval Office, President Musket, and Little Donald.

This bombshell investigation from yesterday with six bylines is already off the NYT homepage. Behind the scenes on how Senator Tillis flipped to support Hegseth amid threats of retaliation from Trump. Give it a read. 🎁 Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/u...

Well said. Standing for law and order against this illegal administration takes courage and a backbone. Thank you. AUSA Hagan Scotten.
