If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

The force is strong, it is a powerful thing.🔥 It is the blood that runs through our veins . We the people have had enough ! ❤️ #DontCutMyMedicaid

AFT members LaShonda, Stacie, Rodney, Gina, Renee, and Joel share their perspective on teaching Black history. aftvoices.org/how-we-teach... @nysut.bsky.social @utlanow.bsky.social

We are already at the ‘purging the generals and replace them with loyalists’ part of the Trump second term, just five weeks in. Totally normal. Not dangerous at all

It’s a cult.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: All six of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s children have been vaccinated. Not only is RFK Jr. a longtime anti-vaxxer, he has made a highly profitable career of endangering the lives of millions in his dangerous crusade against vaccinations. The ascendancy of this lying profiteer…

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

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.

ELON IS ALLOWED IN THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. NOT YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES OR STUDENTS & PARENTS. I WILL BE BACK.

Media says: Where are the Dems? I say: WHERE the hell is the media? 📌Thousands of us stood in the cold here in Wisconsin and across the country protesting Musk's attack on our privacy, and it barely got a mention. 📌Dems are fighting, but the media has once again fallen at Trump's fat, little feet.

Congress must stop Trump and Elon's coup. Call your elected leaders now: (202) 224-3121

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees: Don’t accept a buyout. Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer. And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it? Sincerely, Robert Reich Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

Trump and Musk’s attacks on the civil service—from air traffic controllers to food and drug inspectors—aim to destroy Congressional power, which is the people's power. The real “Fork in the Road” is between democracy and autocracy. Don’t quit on American democracy.

From today’s demonstration at the Department of Labor. ELON’S TOYS

Big rally to stop the attacks on workers and Americans’ privacy happening now at the Department of Labor 🇺🇸 @lizshuler.bsky.social @aflcio.org

Democratic senators will hold the Senate floor all night long in opposition to the nomination of Russ Vought, an organizer of Project 2025, to head the OMB.

NFL fumbles ‘End Racism’ commitment to accommodate the Assistant To The President, Donald Trump. At least President Musk didn't convince them to replace it with Apartheid.

Jersey.

Fair warning—the report on the Musk Insurrection I'm writing will be about the length of a book, and is something PROOF-readers will want to consume over a period of days. It's long-form metajournalism with countless chapters and citations. I hope to get it out soon; details on when as I have them.

Does anyone in the @GOP have the balls to do what’s right here, or nah?

Hold the fuck on — the Department of Government Efficiency, the entity which claims its mission is to end “wasteful spending”, was given SEVEN MILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS to cover its “expenses” in the span of a single week?!?! Are you fucking kidding me?!?

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Send letters to Congress right now--tell them to pass the bill to prevent anyone from messing with our payment systems and data. This has to end!

The White House has officially confirmed that the first flights containing migrants to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba have begun.

"I will say that President Trump campaigned on that promise and I think the American people can expect him to deliver on it."

New Exclusive building on Wired's reporting: Musk operatives have already pushed live to production extensive code changes to the Treasury Department payment system which makes 95% of fed govs payments. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/musk-...

Not for nothing but everyone realizes that these teenagers and 20 somethings who have complete access to the Treasury payment source code are now #1 espionage recruitment targets for Russia and China, right?

NEW: A 25-year-old who's worked for Elon Musk companies now has direct control over a Treasury system disbursements from which amount to a fifth of the US economy. He does not, our sources say, have "read only" access, but high-level admin privileges on a mainframe housing all the code.

Yes coz when all the kids have polio, you won't care about the autism...

Just saying.

A king in the White House, utterly unrestrained & above the law. A party in control of Congress, utterly devoted to the king, and not the Constitution. An unelected oligarch, the king’s patron, firing federal employees & taking control of federal databases. Yes, it’s a constitutional crisis.

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.

Kamala should never have taken the high road and conceded. Trump cheated in 2016 and didn’t get caught. Trump cheated in 2020 and got caught. No way he won in 2024. I don’t believe 10m registered Dems just stayed home. It was an inside job fascinated by Musk & Russia.
