If this is true, then Elon is taking the third rail of American politics and shoving it down Trump’s throat.

New flash: the Market hates Trump’s economic policies and crypto rug pulls.

Don't forget that Donald Trump is obsessed with ratings. DO NOT WATCH HIS SOTU SPEECH. Tell everyone you know to watch something else, go outside, have a nice dinner at a local restaurant (I recommend the Spam musubi to start). Just make this the least watched State of the Union ever! #SOTU

Last week’s staged disrespect of Zelenskyy was a pretext for Donald Trump’s effort to appease Vladimir Putin. Abandoning allies, bowing down to dictators, and putting democracy at risk – all to what end? This isn’t leadership, this is cowardice.

We will always lead the charge to hold Trump and his henchmen accountable. If the press isn’t there to expose him, we’re happy to. That’s why we exist. We won't let him get away with turning this country into something it’s not. Support the mission: bit.ly/3WNK7wY

Two market meltdowns. One common denominator.

Imagine having this much disdain for your own voters

Democracy dies in primer… #bezos

Rep. Jim Himes: Zelenskyy is watching 70,000 dead Ukrainians. Missiles are slamming into hospitals. This is what he’s seeing, and he comes to the Oval Office, and a reporter asks him why he’s not wearing a suit. And the effing VP wants him to say thank you…

Mike Lawler: "I've been very clear: I will not cut Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid." (Bookmark this one.)

President Elon The Ignorant called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme," prompting former SSA commissioner Martin O’Malley to warn of "collapse and an interruption of benefits." If you rely on Social Security, know this: Musk is coming for your money.

Elon Musk just called Social Security a “Ponzi scheme.” And his team is working to gut the agency that makes sure your grandpa gets his check on time. It doesn’t have to be this way. I’m supporting a bill to increase benefits by $2,400/year and expand the program’s solvency.

The Trump Administration is announcing massive cuts to the Social Security Administration — while Elon Musk is calling Social Security a "Ponzi scheme."   Let's be clear: Social Security is essential for Americans — and Senate Democrats are fighting to protect it.   Watch now:

Federal Judge Rules Trump Administration ILLEGALLY Fired Thousands Of Federal Employees! youtu.be/c1R_hR7ueus?...

“This is treason adjacent. I’m sure Pete Hegseth is very busy firing black people and women, so he’s not focused on the actual target here, which is Vladimir Putin.” @therickwilson.bsky.social on the U.S. halting offensive cyber operations against Russia.

Nearly 1 in 4 Illinoisans are enrolled in Medicaid. They're working moms and dads, seniors, people with disabilities — they're our friends and neighbors. We need to stand up, speak out, and show up so Donald Trump prioritizes your health care over tax cuts for his friends.

Cutting Medicaid won’t lower health care costs—but it will jeopardize coverage for millions of people, including seniors and children. I joined Rep. Morrison in Bloomington to stand against the proposed cuts and work to ensure everyone can access the care they need.

Someone, no idea who, may be leaking information to Russia on weapons shipments to Ukraine.

Putin can’t believe his luck. Here is Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov on Trump: “The new administration is fast changing all foreign policy configurations…This coincides with our vision in many ways.” Trump now backs dictatorship, not democracy. We cannot allow that to stand.

If Trump was president in 1940: “Britain, Germany has all the cards. Your Army fled like a dog in Dunkirk! You don’t have any cards and you need cards!! I just want peace and i don’t care who has the advantage! CARDS!”

Framing this.

If we leave @NATO then we've removed the support of our European allies, who are rallying behind Zelenskyy & Ukraine right now. Musk is not a politician. He's sired 14 kids with 4 different women -- who takes care of them? Immigrants? Musk was not born in the USA so why is he dictating US policy?

@kyivindependent.com @kyivpost.com @france24.com @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @bylinesnetwork.co.uk

The summit in London has begun. European and NATO leaders have gathered to discuss the future of humanity and Ukraine, without the United States. This is the largest reconfiguration of nations since World War 2.

Trump and Musk are doing a $350 billion pump and dump with your tax money. Trump’s “Crypto Reserve” is a money laundering scheme and you are being robbed blind.

There’s nothing wrong with Billionaires having billions. There is something inherently wrong with billionaires cutting your benefits, and help to the poor through USAID, and running around with a chainsaw giggling. You can have power or billions. But we refuse to be an oligarchy

Donald Trump promised he wouldn't cut Medicaid. This week, his friends in DC voted for a bill that would leave 3.4 million Illinoisans, including 1.4 million children, in the dust. Another middle finger to working families and the most vulnerable in our state.

📸 No one follows more etiquette rules than the Royal Family—but notice how King Charles didn’t make any smart-ass or demeaning comments about Zelensky’s attire today. Why? Because respect isn’t about clothes—it’s about character. And that’s something money can’t buy.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

Happening now

Zelenskyy: "When they, for example say that Ukraine is almost destroyed, that our soldiers run away, that they are not heroes, that the president is a dictator, what is the reaction? It's not about me. The reaction is, where is the friendship between Ukraine and the US?"

"More distasteful than President Donald Trump’s incessant lying is what the lies indicate: After years of yelling that the 'Russia hoax' was a witch hunt, Trump is now openly colluding with Vladimir Putin." ICYMI @ninajankowicz.com on Trump's Russia disinformation:

"The spectacle of the president and vice president of the United States tag-teaming to bully the leader of a U.S.-allied democracy fighting for its life against an autocratic aggressor has appalled observers around the world." www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-vanc...

“leaders in France, Germany, Poland, Spain, Denmark, the Netherlands, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Norway, Finland, Croatia, Estonia, Latvia, Slovenia, Belgium, Lithuania, Luxembourg, and Ireland lined up behind Ukraine” “Mr. Zelensky responded to each..writing ‘Thank you for your support’”

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.

after the election, @lizcheney.bsky.social tasked us with being the guardrails, the rhetoric used in today’s show of disrespect to Zelenskyy was a perfect example of why. A friend shared with me her response from that other place we eXited. 👇
