Elon’s mass harassment email to all federal employees underscores the importance of having unions to represent workers against abusive management.

The disrespect has been shocking but this is now full on contempt. All it takes is 3 Republicans to join us and leave behind the silence and complicity. We must call out Musk on his harassment of the civil servants who keep our country running. Keep the pressure on.

“The United States has threatened to cut off Ukraine's access to Starlink satellite internet terminals if Kyiv does not reach a deal with the U.S. regarding critical mineral resources, Reuters reported on Feb. 21, citing three sources familiar with the negotiations.”

You know this is 100% going to happen…

Beware Trump especially on Friday evenings, notorious slow news time to undertake mischief with minimal scrutiny www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

“Many workers say they live in a constant state of fear, unable to trust their colleagues, unable to speak freely, reflexively engaging in self-censorship even on matters they view as crucial to national security.” Fed gov used to be a great place to work, www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

If only they’d had more merit (white skin, penis).

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

There will be retribution. The incoming FBI director published a book that includes an enemies list. In a weird, backhanded compliment, he told Steve Bannon that I am an “enemy of the Republican Party. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/ther...

🚨 Mass VA layoffs with zero transparency. 1,000 VA workers just got fired—no warning, no answers. Trump & Musk’s purge is already hurting Veterans, and they don’t care. Democrats are demanding answers. This is a betrayal. MORE: www.militarytimes.com/news/pentago...

A former Soviet intelligence officer alleges Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename “Krasnov.” Alnur Mussayev served in the 6th Directorate, responsible for counter-intelligence support in the economy. One key objective was “recruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.”

Republican Senators who voted for RFK Jr. have the best healthcare in the world, paid for by you. They don’t care about what’s going to happen to your kids, your parents, or you.

The state of Florida filed a lawsuit against Target on Thursday, alleging the company defrauded investors by failing to disclose the financial risks of its LGBTQ Pride merchandise line, which sparked conservative boycotts two years ago.

Turns out Musk and DOGE are wildly unpopular. Even Republicans are concerned that this unelected, foreign billionaire has too much influence on the White House. reut.rs/41t8XYQ

“If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then DOGE’s tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.” www.propublica.org/article/doge...

NEW: The Justice Department now says Donald Trump’s sweeping pardons for Jan. 6 rioters covers unrelated gun charges some faced after the FBI searched their homes. It’s moving to drop felony charges against Daniel Ball and Elias Costianes. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Today, MoveOn members gathered outside Rep. Schweikert’s and Rep. Calvert’s offices—billboard trucks, signs, and grassroots power in full force. Recess is for accountability, and we’re making sure our reps are listening. 👀

NEW: In a 4-2 order, the North Carolina Supreme Court rejected the state board’s petition to bypass the appeals court level in GOP candidate Jefferson Griffin’s legal bid to overturn his 2024 election loss to Democratic incumbent Justice Allison Riggs.

The mothers met in a Whatsapp group. They have vowed to fight until their sons, who they say have not committed crimes and do not have ties to gangs, are released.

We have to know our history in order to do better.

“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. I’m sure he’ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.” ~ @michaeldweiss.bsky.social

Trump is promising genocide & legacy media is helping him — so I wrote this with clear actions we can & must take to counter Trump's fascism. Please act—both because it is critical and because it is right. Stop never ending wars. Stop genocide. Stop Trump: www.qasimrashid.com/p/trump-prom...

The guy who used to run social media for the NRA is now creating the same violent rhetoric for the White House.

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

SCOOP: The director of data science and engineering for the United States Digital Service—which Elon Musk rebranded as the US DOGE Service—has resigned from her position. “I do not believe that DOGE can continue to deliver the work of USDS, based on their actions so far,” she said.

If you're shocked Trump is openly promoting white supremacy while violently deporting brown immigrants, then remember this isn't new. After WW2 the US Govt welcomed Nazis as refugees while blocking Black & brown immigrants. This is what "MAGA" has always meant. www.qasimrashid.com/p/why-februa...

NEW: It's the Elon Musk paradox: On X he's a budget-cutting warrior leading a noble Trump-approved battle against the Deep State bureaucracy. But to the WH, increasingly besieged in court, he's a run-of-the-mill adviser with no decision-making power. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

As we near the anniversary of Russia unjustly, unlawfully, and foolishly invading Ukraine on Feb. 24, Trump folds to Russia. Trump calling Zelenskyy a dictator is like Musk calling his cybertruck easy on the eyes - it is the furthest thing from the truth.

Tune in tomorrow at 10:30 am ET on The Katie Phang Show accounts on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook for the latest in this legal battle to protect student loan borrowers’ private info!

Keep the public pressure on. Talk about how disastrous his economic policies are. Canceled government contracts. Soaring egg prices. Tariffs on our biggest trading partners. Retaliatory tariffs coming. Interest rates stuck at high levels as a result.

Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, just 11 years old, “took her own life in Texas after she was tormented by classmates who threatened to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities and have her family deported from the US, her grieving parents have said.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.

Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.
