Special government employees like Elon Musk are legally only allowed in their role for 130 days. Meaning by May 30, Musk is required by law to be dismissed. With @repcasar.bsky.social, we’re declaring this unelected billionaire, who gained access to your most sensitive records, should be fired now.

#ProudBlue #MomSky We are seeing this daily from way too many in Congress. The GOP has completely given up their power to the Executive branch. Every single one of them needs to be primaried.

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches? Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%. See the problem?

House Republicans have the power to bring legislation to the floor to stop Trump’s ridiculous tariffs. If they cared about the American people, they’d do it now – before even more damage is done.

Fact Checker by Glenn Kessler: Vice President JD Vance falsely claims that 40 percent of calls to a retirement program involve fraud. But administration officials have to come up with better lines than this — both of which have been debunked by the Social Security Administration itself.

Just one of many red flags here: Elon Musk has a financial stake in AI development. What’s the plan to avoid a conflict of interest with this AI chatbot scheme? I’m fighting to save our schools and protect our students from billionaire greed.

Let’s be clear: Trump’s plan to fine migrants $998 a DAY and steal their property is NOT about border security. It’s about pushing fear-based rhetoric—and it’s giving fascism.

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

“Should the precise timing of an imminent surprise attack be classified as secret?” kinda answers itself.

Listen everyone. I’ve see classified stuff before. This in the Atlantic is the kind of stuff that gets the highest classification. I had to have TS clearance to hear the names of the people we targeted in Iraq when i was with TF16 and 17. And still some names were withheld until op was over….

Today a reporter asked the orange felon if he knew that 4 US troops recently died in Lithuania and he said he didn’t know. But he surely knew that a building in Colorado displayed a picture of him that he hated and spent an entire day posting about it on social media. Asshole.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.
