🚨BREAKING: @democracyforward.org sues on behalf of unions, retirees to block access to personal and sensitive data at SSA. This case comes after SSA commissioner stepped down due to concerns about DOGE accessing data. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

They should all refuse to respond. He fires all of them, the government goes dark. #Musk is toast.

Stupid list thing I’ve ever heard of.

🤣🤣🤣

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

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.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

This should violate some rules of international law, shouldn't it?

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

Trump is not “rooting out diversity initiatives in the military”, he is “rooting out non-white-men in leadership positions of the military”

"The evidence linking James Rodden to the online accounts in question is strong, with significant biographical consistencies spanning over a decade. … The depth of the investigation leaves little room for doubt.” Strong reporting by @stevanzetti.bsky.social! www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

As Trump makes concessions to Russia, he is showing weakness on a level unprecedented in modern US history. His position is so weak that it is unlikely to convince anyone. Trump is a sheep in wolf’s clothing. The wolves can tell the difference "The Weak Strongman" snyder.substack.com/p/the-weak-s...

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS @democracyforward.org request to allow expedited discovery in lawsuit challenging DOGE access to Department of Labor data. First instance of discovery being permitted in the Trump accountability cases. Visit Democracy Docket for more info. www.democracydocket.com

Susan Crawford has spent her whole career fighting for Wisconsin, from restoring public workers’ right to bargain for better working conditions to defending abortion rights. Let's elect her to the Wisconsin Supreme Court to protect the liberal majority. app.sosha.ai/s/sTyWff9z

Trump is simply repeating a Putin talking point here. Russia has insisted on intervening in basic issues of Ukrainian sovereignty for more than a decade. Now Trump is doing Putin’s PR work, making unsustainable arguments for an unjustifiable invasion. www.axios.com/2025/02/18/t...

I call him a traitorous insurrectionist facilitating a coup on the American government with the willing assistance and acquiescence of an American president and his political party.

Elon Musk has cancelled millions of vacations for parents who actually want to know their kids

After we let Russia occupy part of your country and steal your resources, we will occupy the other part and do the same. Quite the starting point for the Americans.

Two bullies trying to divide the spoils, more like it.

It’s not lost on me that this abominable attack on the Rule of Law and the disgraceful capitulation by corrupt coward #EricAdams will be held in a court named after the the venerable Justice Thurgood Marshall.

Real people are being hurt. And they don’t give a damn!

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

Have y'all heard of the Project 2025 Heat Map that outlines how 1/3 of the goals have already been achieved? Check out this site and follow: www.project2025.observer Call your representatives and ask them if they are aware of this site and how much of their plans have been implemented.

They are getting ready to see what happens when they come after #AOC and other strong voices. #FAFO

I'm still devastated that #KamalaHarris is not sitting in the #WhiteHouse.

NBC News confirms: An IRS employee affiliated with Elon Musk's DOGE has accessed an IRS system that holds sensitive taxpayer information. @msnbc.com

Last Fall, the Washington Post allowed a right wing group to run a full page ad falsely attacking me for protecting voting rights. Today, Bezos' paper won't accept ads criticizing Elon Musk. Support pro-democracy media. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

Here is the oath all executive branch employees take. It is to support and defend the Constitution, not to “implement the president’s agenda.” If the two purposes diverge, the Constitution prevails.

It’s quite clear by now that the answer to “why is the Trump administration doing x terrible thing?” is that they are *trying* to dismantle America and destabilize the entire world.

This is fascism.
