It's class warfare being waged by billionaire Donald Trump and the richest man in the world. They get enormous tax breaks, tens of millions of Americans lose their health insurance. The most regressive economic policy in modern times.

We're less than a month in. So far, Trump's role in his own 2nd term amounts to this weird stream-of-consciousness session they put on most afternoons and the bizarre exec order signings where an underling reads details aloud and Trump mostly just grunts. What's this gonna look like in year four?

This is super dangerous. It's also such a dumb premise. George W. Bush tried to privatize Social Security 20 years ago. If this rate of fraud was a real thing and not a total fabrication by Musk & Co, Republicans would have screamed and used it as justification for privatizing. It's obviously a lie.

I gotta say, the “Trump is the president and the idea that Elon Musk is calling the shots is a paranoid conspiracy theory” narrative is not especially persuasive when Musk is the one taking calls from heads of state in response to changes in U.S. foreign policy wapo.st/4gwztEH

This morning, we won a court order blocking Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, from accessing Americans’ private data. Musk and his DOGE employees must destroy all records they've obtained. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: no one is above the law.

Proud to see Oregon on this list. Trump’s obsession with everyone's genitals and telling people how to live their lives is going to lead to more suicides and more dead kids.

Here's what's happened, if you're just tuning in: 1. Musk ally Tom Krause told the Treasury career staff to cut off USAID payments 2. The career staffer resisted, saying doing so is illegal 3. The career staffer was ousted by Trump team 4. Krause has now been installed as head of the payments system

It’s past time for Treasury to come clean on Musk’s takeover. People's Social Security, Medicare, and their most sensitive personal data is at risk. I'm not going to stop until I get answers.

Explosive new report from WIRED, which has been all over this Musk power grab since the beginning. Sure looks like the Treasury Department's story -- "read-only" access and all that -- was a cover-up all along.

A flashback to the outcome of the last time Trump said he'd close the carried interest loophole, back in 2016/2017. Folks, he lies about this stuff! All the time!

Reporters should drop all expectation of truthfulness or deference to authority when it comes to Trump's federal agencies. These people lie without any compunction at all.

Note — Treasury told a very different story about the DOGE incursion in their explanation to Senator Wyden earlier this week. This raises many new questions.

CNN with an absolutely gigantic story: "Elon Musk’s top lieutenants at the Treasury Department asked its acting secretary, a career civil servant, to immediately shut off all USAID payments using the department’s own ultra-sensitive payment processing system." edition.cnn.com/2025/02/06/p...

News on Trump-Musk scandal at Treasury from Ron Wyden: The admin now claims Musk takeover merely expands previous "audit" under Biden. But Wyden tells me former Treasury officials have informed him this is highly implausible. "A cover-up," Wyden says. Lots more here newrepublic.com/article/1911...

One day of real protests outside and the people who were like "fuck you peasants we owe you no explanations" are now out there with (probably false) cya clarifications. Pressure works. Keep it up. They answer to the people, it is never ever the other way around. www.cnn.com/2025/02/04/p...

The move fast and break things approach might work elsewhere (debatable) but when you move fast and break things in federal programs like Medicare, Social Security and USAID, communities suffer and people die.

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE full access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

A key concern from @wyden.senate.gov on Musk and DOGE infiltrating Treasury's payment system: "I am concerned that Musk’s enormous business operation in China ... endangers U.S. cybersecurity and creates conflicts of interest that make his access to these systems a national security risk.”

We don’t have a good mental model for the meteorite that ended the Cretaceous. It hit so fast it punched a hole in our atmosphere and surely launched dinosaurs into space. This technically makes some poor T-Rex earth’s first astronaut. Passage from Ends of the World by @peterbrannen.bsky.social.

The thing is, it would be SO EASY for him and the clowns around him to be normal in this awful situation. Let NTSB do the talking, fill open FAA roles with good hires, stress the importance of airline safety. But Trump and his goons are too lazy and hateful, so he gets up and says this crap instead.
