Donald Trump is selling out our seniors to Elon Musk. He is handing over control to sensitive Social Security information to an UNELECTED billionaire. Is Trump too weak to tell Musk no? Is he using Musk to cut Social Security so he doesn't have to take the blame? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...

Oh nothing to see here — just the United States of America aligning itself with Russia and against Europe. This is fine. Totally fine.

Trump is much fonder of the world's most brutal autocrats than he is America's allies -- or the countries that were our allies before he retook power.

Instead of focusing on America’s national security, this man is treating America like a reality show. Firing QUALIFIED military leaders! Playing with our national security! This isn’t a game. crockett.house.gov/media/press-...

The “Fog Bank”: How Trumpsters defy court orders about the Trump funding freeze. (Let’s start by noting these freezes are flatly illegal, not close cases, plain constitutional violations, which is why Trumpsters constantly lose in court.)

Remember, everything is part of the same story. They need to destroy our democracy and crush dissent because letting billionaires take over the government in order to steal from us isn't popular and a functioning democracy wouldn't allow it.

The reason there are a lot of court orders telling Trump he can't do things is because he's been doing a crazy huge amount of illegal shit in his first three weeks in office. This isn't rocket science. It's basic physics - action and reaction.

Kash Patel should never be allowed inside the FBI. He is perhaps the most dangerous of all the Trump nominees. He shamelessly wants to turn the agency into Trump's loyalty police. I'm going to Senate floor at 4pm to raise the alarm for my Republican colleagues.

Young voters really don't like Elon Musk. His unfavorability is 54% with all voters. 67% with voters under 30. Feels important for a party that needs to win a much bigger share of young voters.

From the Admin that purports to support free speech, this baseless “Operation” is only meant to chill free speech. There is no predication for the FBI to open this investigation. The DOJ IG must monitor this closely — it appears to violate Department guidelines.

A quick reminder for the folks who haven't been paying attention: The Russians are the bad guys. The Nazis were the bad guys. NATO is the greatest security alliance in history. The US dissing our allies and aligning with Team Bad Guys makes us less secure and more hated around the world.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

Take note of the messaging - this is both accurate and deeply unpopular. It's the kind of thing that forces GOP House members to quietly tell their constituents that they too are concerned about Musk. Make them own this. Make them squirm.

Connolly: "Imagine lecturing Europeans about being afraid of their own electorate when it's Trump and Musk who are firing FBI agents because they dared to do their duty, who are having loyalty tests at the NSC...you're gonna lecture others about political tolerance of free speech? That's a bit much"

"If Trump is denying access to outlets that refuse to lick his boots, then any media outlet that has access is compromised. Journalists who want to be worthy of the name have a moral obligation to follow the AP’s example in enraging the toddler in chief."
