Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

Members of Congress must serve their constituents, not their own financial interests. We need a stock trading ban on Congress, and I cosponsored legislation to do it.

Absolutely proud of you all! HUG! So far, 3.1 million protesters counted today — that’s nearly 1% of the U.S. population! Photos are flooding social media everywhere. Still waiting on more numbers to come in.

Tanking the economy is all by design. Recession Thrifting time.

Just the facts.

Mike has been a friend of mine since we were young reporters at the @washingtonpost.com in the 1980s. He brims with talent, integrity and commitment to the truth. This is exactly what I expected and he had hoped he could stave off, which is a trash move by trash people. Throw them out.

Interesting statement on Russia and Ukraine from leadership at the George W Bush Presidential Center. www.bushcenter.org/publications...

Dusting off my old Oxford English Dictionary and consulting carefully, I could not find "attack friends and submit to enemies" as a definition of the word "strength."

The same Trump who cut funding for USAID anti sex-trafficking programs, the same one photographed with Epstein multiple times, has now allegedly helped the Tate brothers—accused sex traffickers—escape justice in Romania. That's who they protect. Anyone think they'll be returning to stand trial?

Why would Elon Musk name his shady political company “United States of America Inc.”? Seems like a dead giveaway for his vision: He thinks he is buying the government and will own our country. Where does that leave the rest of us? We're digging deeper on this. What the hell is he up to?

That tracks.

Trump - with his devotion to Putin, abandonment of Ukraine, and lies about history- is the antithesis of everything Ronald Reagan stood for. He is aligning America with the enemies of the very freedom that generations have fought and died to defend.

There’s an immigrant taking people’s jobs… his name is Elon Musk. He’s snatching farms, government jobs (even those in which they manage our national security), and definitely those whose jobs are to root out fraud (inspector generals),

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruption—both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

Vance posted on X: “Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.” You mean Trump’s “power” being used to violate our Constitution? The Constitution is not something any president can manipulate for political games.

Here’s some advice for those outside our coalition, as the administration is actively leading a witch hunt for resistance members. If you’re a government employee, avoid using government devices to coordinate. Do not use standard messaging apps on Android or Apple devices.

CFPB saves billions for American consumers. It shuts down scams and predatory fees, and is cracking down on unfair medical debt collection. But greedy special interests want more money so their corrupt friend Elon Musk is trying to shut down CFPB. Unacceptable. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Big ones

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.

It’s been a busy week in Washington, and I'll be right back after a brief visit to my district.   I will continue to stand against the lawless Musk-Trump administration and demand accountability, no matter what it takes.

"In hindsight, the first year may have been the entire ballgame — even if no one quite knew it at the time..." Really good explainer by Zack Beauchamp here. Worth reading: www.vox.com/politics/398...

USAID, currently being shut down by Elon Musk, purchases about $2 billion annually in rice, wheat, lentils, and peas from American farmers.

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ? Then releasing it as if they discovered it ? Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me. Very Trump like too. Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?

🚨Members of Congress were denied entrance at all access doors to the Department of Education this morning.   But you know if Elon Musk and his cronies show up, they'll let them right in.   The Musk-Trump admin want to slash public education and prevent Dems from conducting oversight.

New evidence has emerged from The Insider that Russia did indeed offer bounties to kill US and coalition troops in Afghanistan. A reminder that Trump downplayed and protected Russia in 2020 when the NYT broke the story

The Trump administration, along with Elon Musk’s staffers, has jeopardized the security of the C.I.A. by making employee names public—a move both illegal and dangerous. Current officials confirmed that the C.I.A. sent employee names to the OPM, complying with an executive order signed by Trump.

President Trump has ordered agencies to halt funding for many climate and infrastructure projects. That's created uncertainty for communities expecting tens of millions of dollars for everything from solar projects to electric school buses. via @wbur.org

While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.
