Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Elon Musk and the Billionaire Baby Boom

youtube.com/watch?v=4ZEF... We unpack why tech billionaires are so suddenly obsessed with having children and how their vision of the future is entangled with right-wing ideology, eugenics, and genetic engineering.

This is true. @bsky.app is the app of the people. We may not all agree. We may not even all like each other. But we can engage and disagree and agree with our hate That makes the platform the future of social media

10% of NASA’s workforce has been laid off—guess that’ll be a boost for SpaceX.

Drudge Report dubs the Prez Comrade Trumpski. MAGA, is that what you voted for? A coward bowing to Putin ?

ZELENSKYY: The risk that Russia will occupy Europe is 100 percent WELKER: If the US pulls out of NATO, Russia will occupy Europe? ZELENSKYY: Yes

Woof

Taxpayers pay Elon Musk $8M a day and he’s already got 2 new government contracts totaling $38.4B since Trump came into office. DOGE isn’t about America. Boy didn’t want the gravy train to stop… youtu.be/j73qj9DbkWg

The lead prosecutor on the Adams investigation - Hagan Scotten - resigns from SDNY. “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion [to dismiss Adams charges]. But it was never going to me.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Very normal country we have now

I need someone to answer this damn question!

‘You’ve Blown a Hole in the Family’: Inside the Murdochs’ Succession Drama More than 3,000 pages of documents reveal how years of betrayals led to a messy court battle that threatens the future of Rupert’s empire. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #DemsUnited www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/m...

The United States State Department is now planning to spend $400 million in taxpayer money to buy Tesla Cybertrucks.

RFK Jr is likely to be confirmed for our nation’s top health position. Yet he has no medical education or qualifications. None. We are unable trust his opinions or decisions. What a terrible situation for America

Trump leads Poll as worlds greatest threat to peace

“.. After reports of the news Wednesday the online forecast about the contract was edited to remove the word ‘Tesla’ and simply referred to $400 million worth of ‘armored electric vehicles.’” @the-independent.com $TSLA www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

This one weird trick could save the American people $8 million a day in perpetuity: cancel all government contracts with Elon Musk

This one was censored in the US so not sure how many of you caught this before, but little X knows about the election rigging. Which is why Musk has effectively kidnapped him and doesn't allow him to be with his mother or other family.

😳

RFK Jr. Is a One-Man Plague open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa... AMERICANS WILL HAVE TO WATCH OVER THEIR OWN HEALTH FROM NOW ON AND AUTOMATICALLY REJECT US agencies’ recommendations and guidance. The boss in charge now is a seriously delusional man with strong paranoid trends.

How the roots of the ‘PayPal mafia’ extend to apartheid South Africa

The cybertruck sucks, and it failed, so Musk rescued it through a corrupt government scheme that is technically a federal crime American taxpayers are going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a vehicle that everyone serious agrees is absolute garbage as a matter of construction and safety

Always remember: follow the money

Treasury Department officials admitted today that the agency “mistakenly” and “briefly” gave a member of Musk’s DOGE team the power to alter a sensitive federal payments database. The disclosure undercuts the Trump administration’s repeated claims that access was limited to a “read-only” basis.

That’s nothing. I found 13 contracts awarded to SpaceX since December totaling $77M. 1/

We cannot ignore how shockingly abnormal it is for a private citizen — who himself has contracts with the federal government — to dispatch a private army of executives, data experts and recent high schoolers to dictate policies to federal agencies. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/elon...

This is basically my entire book in chart form

If you are looking for someone to say that all is lost and the courts can't help protect democracy, you are following the wrong guy. If you are looking for someone who fights hard and will never give up, I'm here for you.

"America rejected kingly power once, and we must do so now,” writes Constitutional law expert @anthonymkreis.bsky.social. In 18th-century England, laws were changed at the king’s whim and legislative authority was subordinate to executive power. Deja vu?

DOJ is losing in part because judges are fed up that they aren't being told the full facts and Trump/DOGE are playing a game of cat and mouse.

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

Thank you, Pete! We will stop him.

There are no coincidences.

BREAKING: we have secured an order that BLOCKS the government from releasing the names of the 6000 FBI agents being illegally targeted by Trump & Bondi for their lawful work on the January 6 cases! A big win by @sddaction.bsky.social & our incredible partners for rule of law & the FBI

President Elon Musk is on the cover of Time Magazine. Methinks Donald is gonna be big mad that Elon is stealing his spotlight. 🍿

You are the company you keep.

President Musk demands WSJ fire reporter who uncovered the racist tweets of his close associate working on DOGE. Musk must think he is back in Apartheid South Africa where he could have a reporter fired for telling the truth. Not in the USA--at least not yet. www.mediaite.com/news/elon-mu...
