Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

To be fair, I stopped watching the local news when 🍊 started being on it every night, especially since everyone just let him lie over and over without correcting anything.

No one cares if federal employees were asked to submit what they did last week. As a teacher, this is how I lived my life. Submit weekly lesson plans. The problem is, Elon wasn’t elected by anyone and has no business asking shit of federal employees.

Michelle Obama: Kids should have nutritious meals. The pro-life party: This is an outrage! RFK Jr: Kids should have measles, mumps, and polio. The pro-life party: Yes, king! Tell it like it is!

It's more than a little bizarre that the press was more vocal and judgmental about Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal than the current unscheduled rapid disassembly of our entire democracy and civil service.

The criticism over Zelenskyy not wearing a suit is not only foolish but more importantly: completely fails to understand why he doesn't. Of course the man own suits. That's not the point. Here's why Zelenskky is not wearing a suit... (quick thread)

You don’t need academic language to talk about what happened in the Oval Office today with Zelensky. Trump is Putin’s dog and will do what he tells him to do.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

I’m kind of surprised it hasn’t already happened. Macron and Starmer already coming for visits indicates that they don’t really want to abandon a longstanding ally, but they’ve already been abandoned.

This is a bigger scandal than people realize. It really makes it look as though this entire meeting was a setup by Trump that was planned in advance. If you watch the video it is clear that they are deliberately and almost derangedly blindsiding Zelenskyy. Now we know who the audience was. Putin.

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

Veterans Crisis Line workers have been fired. Suicide prevention training is being canceled. The system meant to save lives is being gutted—because Trump and Musk care more about their war on government than they do about Veterans. DOGE screws Veterans!

Friendly reminder that Joann Fabrics isn’t closing because it’s a bad business. It’s closing bc it was bought by a private equity firm. This is also what is happening to Hooters and what happened to US Toys R Us and Red Lobster. These companies are being dismantled intentionally.

Fealty to Donald Trump will not spare you from his cruelty. It's strength — not weakness — that curbs his baser instincts. Now is the time for us to be strong.

Please look up the influenza epidemic of 1918-19 to understand that the CDC not selecting strains for next year’s vaccines sets the stage for a public health calamity that will, without doubt and at bare minimum, catastrophically and directly impact people you know. This is a five alarm fire.

"Stranger danger" is so nefarious as a propaganda tool, because 1) most sexual violence is committed by people known to the victim and 2) the people imagined to be "the stranger" (trans people, immigrants, Black people) are themselves most at risk for facing violence from people they don't know

Rufo straight up admits that the entire framing of being against "cancel culture" was BS and they just wanted to be the ones doing the "canceling." Every radical centrist who was just asking questions in the Atlantic played their useful idiot role in bringing this to fruition.

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't

General CQ Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, wasn't fired by Trump because he "supports woke policies." He was fired because he's a Black man in the nation's top uniformed military post.
