They want us to be afraid. They want us to hesitate. They want us to fear their next move. Fuck that shit. We are just getting started fighting.

This is, again, a repeat of Elon's Twitter takeover. They made the same stupid demand.

Poland is paying for and will continue to finance Ukraine’s access to Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet system, according to Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski.

Nice country you have there. Shame if anything happened to it. Blackmail is now US foreign policy.

Did you know that 72 MILLION Americans rely on Medicaid for healthcare? The Trump Administration and MAGA Republicans in Congress want to take it away to give tax breaks to billionaires. Don't let them take away our healthcare. Let them know you didn’t vote for this shit.

Their incompetence and carelessness has been jaw-dropping so far - and if you are not a billionaire or at least in the top tax bracket, you are definitely not the one they want to help.

This letter is a remarkable combination of stupid and ominous.

“Debate”

Brilliant minds all around

How is it that Facebook *still* has not learned not to take notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy

81% of Americans say the US can't trust Putin 73% of Republicans agree And yet, Trump has crawled back into bed with the murderous dictator It's just weird

Musk profited more off on controlling the government than he saved tax payers. Musk’s net worth — $397.1 billion as of Tuesday’s close — is up more than 50% since the election, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. 👇🏻

'I will not be silenced': Congressman posts letter Trump DOJ sent him for criticizing Musk: The top Department of Justice prosecutor in Washington D.C. is now sending letters to elected officials who criticize President Donald Trump and his administration that include ominous ultimatums. That's…

1. The president is colonizing the federal bureaucracy, replacing people of skill, competence and integrity with goons, or no one. One of his targets has been the FAA, the agency that regulates the airways and makes sure airlines obey the law. Guess what? The planes are falling out of the sky.

Acosta: When Trump was out there on the campaign trail, he said, ‘On day one, I’m going to start lowering prices in this country.’ That hasn’t happened. And what is he doing? He’s going to the Super Bowl. He’s going to the Daytona 500. It’s like he’s on the StubHub Rapid Rewards program.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Woke TR!

American planes are crashing almost every day and the Secretary of Transportation is visiting the Daytona 500 and tweeting at Pete Buttigieg.

Donald Trump’s administration has begun indiscriminately culling scores of people who keep air travel safe, despite four deadly plane crashes during his first two months as president.

At least 20 FDA staffers reviewing Neuralink, Elon Musk's brain implant company, were fired in an ongoing DOGE purge of federal workers.

These calls are EPIC. Don’t miss this. Pass it on!!!

Brad let a child pornographer off easy after receiving $$ from the pornographers lawyer. Now he could put extreme Republicans in charge of the State Supreme Court in WI!. Make your voice heard April 1 and vote FOR Susan Crawford! #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE

NBC News confirms: An IRS employee affiliated with Elon Musk's DOGE has accessed an IRS system that holds sensitive taxpayer information. @msnbc.com

NATIONAL ARCHIVES UNDER ASSAULT: They’re coming for our history. The US archivist & staff resigned after Trump officials pushed to replace them w/loyalists. Not just records you’d expect—slave records, immigration records, Native American treaties—all at risk. Will they rewrite or destroy history?

A government employee went mega-viral after she SPOKE OUT against Musk's firing on HIS OWN APP. Now she's coming on my channel to share her story. Interview premieres at 7:00pm on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTQx...

Wait…the administration lied about who they are firing? No way.

“The goal of Trump--like all autocrats and dictators--is to make you feel that “resistance is futile,” but history shows that people standing up to that leader has inspired others to do the same.” @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social talks with @deanobeidallah.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/deanobei...

Senator Kennedy is many things. But not dumb. And that (as many of you have noted) makes it worse.

Beyond the cruelty, there’s the dumbfounding incompetence. First, they push through an announcement that 2200 employees would be fired from the Indian Health Service, removing doctors & nurses from our poorest citizens. Then they reduced it to 950 layoffs. Now it’s zero ictnews.org/news/rfk-jr-...

The Trump administration has just announced that all college financial aid programs, scholarships, prizes, housing, and graduation ceremonies that help Black or Latino students are now considered to be illegal. The Education Department accuses colleges of discriminating against white students.

And on FOX NEWS, no less.

Amen.

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…

DOGE is a scam: Musk benefits from Trump's presidency in more ways than one. From squashing investigations into exploiting BILLIONS of workers to intimidating political leaders, this partnership is dangerous.

Who’s really the president? Elon Musk wants federal judges impeached for blocking Trump’s agenda—so, of course, House Republicans are drafting articles of impeachment against them. Elon’s 4-year-old human shield called it.

He who posts this should expect it to show up in briefs challenging what he does

Have you seen the White House account on X lately? Just one of many disgraceful posts. He/they are proud…

Trump officials fired over 300 National Nuclear Security Administration staffers Thursday as part of broader Energy Department layoffs. Sources told CNN 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝗻𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝗨.𝗦. 𝗻𝘂𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀. The NNSA began rescinding the firings Friday morning.
