Is Musk demanding the data held by the Social Security Administration in order to make it more efficient? Unlikely. Here's a better explanation: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

After we let Russia occupy part of your country and steal your resources, we will occupy the other part and do the same. Quite the starting point for the Americans.

On Presidents’ Day, we stood in solidarity with Indivisible groups across the country (as well as with many other organizations and fellow Americans) in protest of Trump and Elon's dismantling of the U.S. government. 💙💙💙 #StrongerTogether

Mere weeks ago, media outlets were still publishing pieces asking where the “resistance” was. It seems we are now well past that: Possibly, that’s because “the resistance” is bubbling up in too many places to track.

Killing the enemy with a rifle in a declared war after the enemy attacked us at Pearl Harbor is not the same as rifling through innocent citizens tax and social security and banking records. You should be ashamed for saying this.

Over at the other place, JD Vance is calling me a ‘dummy’ for pointing out his administration’s attacks on journalists and free speech here at home. Musk literally today called for the jailing of CBS journalists. The VP clearly has a lot of time on his hands.

President Trump purged the bipartisan Kennedy Center board of Biden appointees, fired the center’s president and made himself the new chairman last week. So what will he do with an institution central to Washington’s cultural life? One expectation: more country music.

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

HEARTBREAKING: Anne Marie Hochhalter was shot in the back and paralyzed in the mass shooting at Columbine High School in 1999. On Sunday, she was found deceased at her Colorado home, reportedly due to complications from injuries she sustained in the shooting. She was 43.

The United States is joining an international fascist network before our very eyes.

The Trump administration has opted to deflect blame rather than share solutions for the drastic recent uptick in deadly plane crashes.

Donald Trump spent his Valentine’s Day weekend firing health workers en masse from the government.

NEW: The head of the FDA’s food division has resigned. “The division is tasked with ensuring that the country's food supply is safe, overseeing inspections and recalls.” www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

They’re not bringing down Egg prices, and they’re imposing tariffs that We end up paying. Now Congressional Republicans want to undo the Biden-Era caps on Bank Fees. Republicans are rewarding their donors & Big Business while Screwing US.

A court declaration from the Trump administration, filed on Monday, revealed that Elon Musk’s official title is actually “senior adviser to the president,” a position that holds “no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself.”

The Trump administration doesn’t appear to have a clear idea of just how many federal staffers they’ve let go.

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...
