Planes are crashing because Trump and Musk wanted to cut their own taxes even more. Say it over and over and over again until it sinks into people's brains and they correctly associate every crash with two billionaires who never fly commercial.

Imagine you have over $400 billion and you spend your time working to deny hungry children around the world meals to avoid starvation.

what would you do differently if you were actively trying to cause more plane crashes? www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

White nationalist wants the ability to modify data on tax returns. This would literally allow them to engineer data to claim tax fraud against some, and wipe clean the debts of others, and together with the banking data they want, steal from every American.

Action item for today New Yorkers: call Gov. Hochul and demand she fire NYC Mayor Adams. What a joke of our democracy he has made!

If you live in New York State and think Gov. Kathy Hochul should remove the corrupt mayor of NYC, give her a call or send her a letter.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

Donald Trump isn't interested in a smaller government, he wants a weaponized government. He doesn't want fewer federal employees, he just wants them loyal to him.

They want to cut TWO TRILLION from Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP (food stamps), among other basic needs programs. TWO TRILLION. All so the rich can get richer and more people can be deported to who knows where. This is as amoral as it gets. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

New Yorkers: I don't care how much you (and so many of us) hate the established Democratic Party. PLEASE REGISTER AS A DEMOCRAT by this Thursday. It's the only way to vote in the mayoral and council primaries, which, as usual in NYC, is basically THE general election (in most of the city).

It's very cute how Mitch McConnell is doing his little protest votes on Trump nominations now that he's one foot in the grave. He had more power than anyone to stop Trump from ever becoming president again by pushing to convict him in the Senate four years ago but he was too big of a coward.

Sell your Teslas, dump your stock, join the picket lines. Hurting Tesla is stopping Musk, and stopping Musk will help save lives and our democracy. The stakes couldn't be higher and no one is coming to fix this- not our politicians and not our media. It's up to collective effort.

I wrote about how Doge is involved in cutting cancer research www.vanityfair.com/news/story/d...

32 days until the government runs out of money Democratic are about to have a lot of leverage Not clear they’ll use it

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Very relieved to know that the person in charge of regulating Elon’s overreach… is Elon.

LESSER EVIL POPCORN IS OWNED BY THE PARENTS OF EDWARD “BIG BALLS” Boycott Lesser Evil Boycott Treason Corn lesserevil.com

Project 2025 architect Russell Vought was just confirmed as Director of OMB. He wants to dismantle the federal government and now, because of the GOP, he’s running it. Every Republican voted for him. They own the harm he’s about to do to millions of families across the country.

35+ Dems plan to hold the Senate floor all night to oppose the confirmation of Musk-Trump funding freeze architect Russ Vought. THIS is how we fight back while in the minority. (via @schatz.bsky.social)

BREAKING: Representatives of Elon Musk’s “DOGE” have gotten into the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, where they have accessed key payment and contracting systems.

Hey @rokhanna.bsky.social , we know you rep Silicon Valley — but care to explain? 🤔

Reuters: TRUMP SIGNS EXECUTIVE ORDER WITHDRAWING US FROM UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL, UNRWA

The thing about the sovereign wealth fund that Trump created yesterday by executive order is that it is the means to steal from the US Treasury and put that money into a place that only he controls.

The president made a show of temporarily postponing a regional trade war after Mexico and Canada promised him things they were already doing.

thread with @aoc.bsky.social’s advice for this moment, and it involves calling your reps. not sure how? use 5calls.org (they have an app too).

👇🏽 🎯 Again — USAID helped end apartheid in South Africa. Elon knows this. Impossible to ignore: t.co/l7CeSNFiIP Ending our influence in the world is a gift to our enemies.

TOMORROW: We’re rallying at the Treasury building with @moveon.org to stop Elon Musk’s hostile takeover and tell this unelected billionaire to get his hands off our money. We hope you can join us if you’re in the D.C. area.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

Congratulations to Trump on securing a $1.3 billion border security deal from Canada.... which was already negotiated in December 2024.

Here’s the video of the Senate and House presser outside USAID today. Folks have wanted Dems to fight - well here we go! Please watch, share and keep working hard all..... www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/senate-and...

So, Mexico has agreed to do what it is already doing? www.reuters.com/article/worl...

Workers in DC are fighting to block Musk's minions. "About 100 Federal employees and supporters...blocked the doors to...‘data miners’....The small group of young men eventually left without entering after the protesters would not let them near the front doors." dcmediagroup.us/2025/02/02/f...

Hey. Here are the names of the unauthorized dudes who are creeping into government computers: The engineers are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. These are the DOGE boys.

I feel like this info may have slipped through the cracks with all the other truly heinous things happening all at once by this vindictive regime. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/a...
