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

This piece of shit...🤬

This. Is. Insane.

I am an ally. ❤️

WTAF!?

Stephen Bannon made a gesture that a far-right French leader and others likened to a Nazi salute when he was giving a speech outside Washington on Thursday. He also suggested that President Trump pursue a constitutionally prohibited third term.

🤦‍♀️

Breaking News: Stocks tumbled as investors reacted to concerns about the economy and tariffs, erasing almost all gains since President Trump’s inauguration.

"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob."  —FDR, 1936

"Golden Era"

Breaking News: President Trump fired the country’s senior military officer, a role that traditionally stays in place as administrations change.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Here we go... 🤮

The FDIC protects your hard earn money in the bank and helps prevent another financial crash. Trump and Musk’s move to fire these workers is dangerous. I led Senate Democrats in pushing back, and now independent investigators are on the case.

President Trump has ordered a radical set of changes to the federal government. Some are within the traditionally understood scope of a president’s power, but many appear to purposely violate statutes. Here’s a close look at the biggest actions so far. nyti.ms/4gTFEmo

That's right @reppaultonko.bsky.social is the best!

They just now noticed?

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

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.

This is not good, to say the least.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Just tell them you were being metaphorical, like when the J6-ers chanted HANG MIKE PENCE and were pardoned by Trump.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

"Key congressional Republicans have powers they’re choosing not to use... "Senator Susan Collins, for example, believes the White House and DOGE may be breaking the law. She doesn’t, however, seem eager to use her considerable influence..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

The special election in New York’s 21st Congressional is coming up fast, and I am running to replace Elise Stefanik in Congress. Please help spread the word and chip in, and together we will get the job done. secure.actblue.com/donate/gende...

"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary... "Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

Emergency food, TB testing and other programs have not resumed, despite a judge’s order halting President Trump’s dismantling of USAID.

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

I’m the dairy farmer running to replace Elise Stefanik in New York’s 21st Congressional District. Can you repost this, give me a follow, and help spread the word?

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

In response to Trump’s assertion, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law,” we say: The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants.

Pay attention

"When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have a moral obligation to do something about it." - John Lewis. It's not enough to simply recognize something is wrong; we have a moral duty to act.

Well said.. 💔

Be careful out there folks. VERY heavy snow with ice on top. Took me all morning just to do driveway and back deck. The rest will have to wait. I am DONE. ❄️

“Saturday Night Live” is celebrating its 50th anniversary this weekend with a star-studded special. Here’s everything to know about it.

Yikes

Meta is completely deleted from my life now, and I feel fine! Next, Prime!
