A reminder that Elon Musk's corporations were promised $3 billion across nearly 100 different contracts last year with 17 federal agencies. While DOGE cuts essential services for you, Musk is getting a taxpayer-funded windfall.

Taken from X… @covie93.bsky.social

No f*cking comment…

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

Schrodinger's Dumpster 😁

He nails it.

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...

Yes, the employee at McDonald’s should be able to afford rent, groceries, bills, health care and retirement plans with their paycheck alone. That’s what jobs are for.

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

Criminals are running amok inside our government and nothing will be done about it because—oh, that’s right!—America voted for a convicted criminal to be in charge of all federal law enforcement See how that works

Indiscriminate mass layoffs by Elon Musk are ravaging key programs, depriving our people of nuclear safety inspectors, air traffic controllers and food safety inspectors. These cuts crush democracy and devastate the livelihood of tens of thousands of public servants.

I think it’s time that Maryland Democrats put @repaprildelaney.bsky.social on notice. Somehow I don’t think they signed up for her to vote with Trump 64% of the time.

Maryland Labor Secretary Portia Wu said her agency is staffing up, as it is already hearing from state residents who expect to be affected — or already have been — by the Trump administration’s plans to downsize the federal workforce. marylandmatters.org/2025/02/14/l...

The long-awaited Family and Medical Leave Insurance program may see its July start delayed, officials said, amid “huge instability and uncertainty” of a $3 billion budget shortfall and rapid-fire Trump administration policy decisions. marylandmatters.org/2025/02/14/a...

I like that he posted a picture of a print-out of the email.

Michael Steele goes off about Elon Musk and DOGE: "They've got your data, dumbass...I want somebody to show that they care enough to get off their fat ass and say something about it." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Captures it perfectly.

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

In response to Trump’s assertion, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law,” we say: The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants.

She did!

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: Lies do not suddenly become truths because, instead of shouting them out with orange makeup and a wig, you serve them up with a smile, eyeliner and a hipster beard.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

We won’t disappear just because you change a website.

The Oregon Trail generation speaks

BREAKING: Ranking Member Raskin demands Attorney General Bondi halt illegal intimidation campaign targeting the DOJ’s Public Integrity Office.

I’m old enough to remember when y’all lost your minds over a blow job, but a traitor and his foreign born jumping-minion take a blow torch to our government and your response is “LFG”. So, is it just that you’re fucking stupid?

Jasmine Crockett, after accusing colleagues of castrating their Constitutional duty, said, “My job is to make sure we don’t have any kings or queens in this country, but it seems like you all have decided it’s going to be Mr. King and his queen. And y’all can pick which one is which.”

Remember this?

Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them at one point as “targets.” The website lists mostly Black employees.

The takeover of Twitter was a preview of what we're all living with now and a stark example of why you can't let any one person have too much money: they go insane and make themselves everybody's problem

Spot on from @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Wow. Jamie Raskin discusses a possible impeachment of Donald Trump for illegal executive overreach. “Find me two Republicans and I’ll go to work tomorrow.” Would you support impeachment against Donald Trump?

We're living George Orwell's 1984: IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.

When you’re an oligarch, they let you do it. You can do anything…. grab ‘em by the Treasury. You can do anything.

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

For all federal employees: Before you are locked out of your systems, ensure you have copies of unclassified performance appraisals, awards & other relevant personnel docs. If you have access to your office, grab your more important personal items sooner rather than later.

How is this legal? How? Why is every top Democrat not outside the Treasury right now, holding a press conference at least? Or filing a lawsuit?? I am losing my mind.
