Brian Gibbs had no clue Friday would be his last day at his dream job. The education technician park ranger at Effigy Mounds National Monument in Iowa reported to work, only to be terminated on despite receiving an exceptional performance evaluation in the fall.

“For those looking to join dots, there is fodder from Musk’s early life with a neo-Nazi grandfather who moved from Canada to South Africa because he liked the idea of apartheid through his high school education in a system infused with white supremacy ideology.” www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The US is under siege! I think we need our elected officials to step up and finally take this Orange Russian Asset and his Apartheid Nazi overseer to jail.

Someone please stop this illegal immagrant before it’s too late!! He is a swamp of lawlessness. @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov

Mitch McConnell voting no on terrible cabinet picks because he doesn’t have to run for reelection is all the proof you need that we must have term limits. You shouldn’t only have a spine because you don’t have to run again. We are breeding chicken shit power hungry electeds.

NEW! What you can do to fight the Trump agenda www.headsupnews.org/p/what-you-c...

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

NEW @motherjones.com: An analysis found Elon's cybertrucks are deadlier than infamous the Ford Pintos, which were the subject of a famous @motherjones.com cover story that prompted a federal investigation. Cybertrucks have had 5 known fatalities in just 1 year. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

🤯

SCOOP: We've learned at least three individuals closely associated with Palantir or its cofounder Peter Thiel were involved in an online recruiting effort for DOGE late last year. Step inside the recruitment effort that helped build Elon's DOGE army:

@propublica.org putting in some work today to ID Musk’s Minions. Give it a look. projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-do...

All the ways Elon Musk is breaking the law, explained by a law professor. (There are a lot of them.) voxdotcom.visitlink.me/VETn5u

Here's my piece with @rooseveltinstitute.org colleague Emily Divito on how the Musk-Treasury payments scandal is worse than it appears. When people lose trust in the money and payments systems, that's how panics, bank runs, and financial crises happen. 1/ news.bloomberglaw.com/tax-insights...

News on Trump-Musk scandal at Treasury from Ron Wyden: The admin now claims Musk takeover merely expands previous "audit" under Biden. But Wyden tells me former Treasury officials have informed him this is highly implausible. "A cover-up," Wyden says. Lots more here newrepublic.com/article/1911...

Scenes like this wouldn’t be possible without whistleblowers coming forward about Elon Musk’s authoritarian takeover. Reminder that if you’re a public servant wishing to report fraud, waste, or abuse at a federal agency, you can do so on my website:

@schumer.senate.gov This is for you! Do something besides writing strongly worded letters and forming committees. These are not normal times.

Worth noting that McConnell refusing to whip votes to convict Trump at his impeachment trial (or vote himself to convict) is *why* we’re now in a position where a trade war with our allies could happen. If McConnell is looking for the person at fault, he might want to consult a mirror.

This yahoo is the top ranking Senate Democrat? What a spineless turd.
