In addition to being illegal, unconstitutional and wrong, Trump's lawlessness is also an extraordinary abuse of power as we the people have to pay his legal bills and ultimately for the damages his harms will bring. He is legally and financially liable for nothing. Break laws, get sued, we pay.

I’ve dumped shopping at stores who used this administration as an excuse to ditch equity hiring efforts.

Republicans only have one move to save themselves from being destroyed along with the rest of the people in the path of dictatorship. Let’s see if they do it in time.

43% of social welfare recipients are White. 11 of the top 12 most dependent states are red states. Alaska is the most dependent on federal aid while California (49) and New Jersey (50) are least dependent, contributing far more than they receive. #RedStateMoochers

The DOGEbags (and the highest bidders on the internet) have your tax info. For a nobody like me, that’s probably irrelevant. I’m looking forward to the chaos this causes for the rich. The leopard is coming…

Hear me out: liberals try to tank Tesla. Neocons buy Tesla to prop up Elon. Minor climate win amid the chaos?

Imagine what NASA could do if they had the money the government keeps giving to Elon.

My bet is that the Musk Rats chewing on our Treasury files are also collecting material from Trump’s first term. This stuff can easily be massaged into a gigantic scandal, as we have seen. As long as Trump gives what he wants, Trump is safe. If not, not.

The core problem remains Steve Bannon, the architect of this lawless approach to politics. The idea of addressing efficiency through technological partnership is excellent. Acting like a street gang to do it is not.

All this DOGE bs is going to get real interesting when it starts impacting the majority of Republican voters on a daily basis and they can’t figure out who to blame. FAFO

My grandfather fought in WW2 and he taught me that the only good nazi is a ☠️ nazi. I wonder if we can bring that sentiment back while we are busy making America great again.

POTUS swears an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution & then proceeds to violate in a multitude of ways day 1. Republicans in Congress can either find their spine and impeach him or admit they are feckless and we should disregard them from here on out.

Last night Elon Musk moved to kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. His team is now inside, and he posted “CFPB RIP 🪦” on X. This agency has saved Americans billions. DOGE isn’t about cutting waste—it’s about dismantling the government so Musk and his billionaire friends can take control.

After Kristen Welker let National Security Adviser Michael Waltz lie and evade on NBC's "Meet the Press," she wound up her interview by asking him for his Super Bowl pick. That's how you normalize fascists and tell them you're friendly enough that they can come back later and lie some more.

Every time a republican says that Americans might have to deal with short term suffering everyone should stop the conversation and ask them for specific examples of how they are suffering.

Would now be a good time to remind everyone that air traffic controllers are exempt from diversity hiring initiatives and hired solely based on whether they can pass the rigorous examination process?
