“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.”

Lawyers at Twitter are reportedly threatening advertisers to spend more money on the platform “or else” Elon Musk will use his connections with Trump to hurt their companies.

I'm a huge fan of Dolly Parton. We're the same age and same height, but she can sing better. We also share the same values, including that every child should have the chance to dream big and succeed. Indiana Republicans should reverse these cuts. www.huffpost.com/entry/indian...

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Red Dawn led me to believe the Russian attack on the United States would be much more dramatic than a slow, methodical propaganda effort.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

For the last two days, Sean Duffy has been blaming Pete Buttigieg, Joe Biden, the Democrats, and anyone else he can think of for the fact that under *HIS* watch, planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. Maybe fewer joyrides to the Daytona 500 and a little more attention paid to transportation.

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?

Cognitive dissonance is Elon baselessly accusing other people of using the government as their piggy bank while he took in ~$20 BILLION in taxpayer funds.

MAGA acts like finding fraud in government is some new thing DOGE invented. They aren’t good at it, but experts who were let go were.

"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.

If all these people know how to identify #scams then how will president #musk and first #felon sell them more bible, crypto, nft and all other crap.

President Musk and subsidies . #FAFO

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

No kings day

“DOGE apparently didn’t understand the workers’ role”—in other words, that the “National Nuclear Security Agency” was an agency having something to do with national nuclear security

1. Trump has turned over the keys to much of the federal government to Elon Musk. Musk is now using his power to advance his PRIVATE FINANCIAL INTERESTS This was on display last week when Musk met with Indian PM Narendra Modi

“Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service is seeking access to a heavily-guarded Internal Revenue Service system that includes detailed financial information about every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in the country, according to two people familiar with the activities, sparking alarm within the tax agency.”

Oh my fucking God.

Build the wall! Around DOGE!

Captures it perfectly.

Where you at Dems ? You fighting to get them far better severance or going to ignore them, and all others in similar circumstances?

Imagine buying a Tesla, and it’s a lemon—but the company refuses to fix it. Or waking up to find your bank account drained, and the bank shrugs. Now with a gutted Consumer Protection Agency, you have no recourse. Congrats to everyone supporting #oligarch #billionaires. Enjoy the #oligarchy

Don't look up 😔

Listen to Secretary Pete. And remember, these are our funds. These are our courts. And these are our streets.

The #oligarchs Elon and other are controlling the narrative. They are dividing us and we are fighting each other instead of them. We need class war but we are focused on culture war

Holy shit this cartoon.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau literally exists to protect consumers from predatory financial institutions. It's returned over $21 billion to 205 million consumers. The sole result of this move is that Americans will have no recourse when they get screwed over by a bank. Good work Elon 👍
