CBS: Members of Elon Musk's private security detail have been deputized by the U.S. Marshals Service, granting them certain rights and protections of federal law enforcement agents. Why was this necessary? #ProudBlue #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TheTurdReich

DOJ deleted the database tracking federal police misconduct, which included thousands of disciplinary records of federal officers. Exactly how is this getting rid of fraud, waste, and abuse? Because it seems like a precursor to massive fraud and abuse.

It’s absolutely a Nazi salute. But note how weak it is. Whether it’s sincere or “ironic” (and that doesn’t make a difference), he doesn’t quite have the cobbles to do it vigorously. He does it like grandma struggling to put her shawl on a hook.

Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe was arrested at a city council meeting after stating, “MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement. You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is,” before engaging in peaceful civil disobedience.

Trump is flagrantly violating the law by freezing funding that Congress appropriated—causing real damage & chaos. I pressed Trump's Secretary of Labor nominee if she would commit to simply following the law. Watch her response.

Last night, Trump said he wouldn't cut Medicaid. He just endorsed the House Republican budget that makes at least $880 BILLION in cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. They'll say or do anything to get more giveaways for their billionaire donors.

Trump went from prices will come down “on Day One” To “I’d like to bring them down” To-finally-“inflation is back” and “it’s Biden’s fault” But after Trump destroyed the economy with his incompetent COVID response Biden reduced inflation from 9% all the way down to 2.4% Then Trump got elected

We all see what’s happening—because we are the target! Who doesn’t know someone affected? “It’s a level of incompetence that we’ve never seen before in government. To say that Elon Musk is not running the United States right now is really a fallacy.” — @dougjones.bsky.social

In Fox News interview with tRump, moneypants Elon Musk insisted "tRump derangement syndrome" is a real phenomenon. He told Sean Hannity that reasoning with those affected is impossible. I can imagine them having same talk about "Hitler Derangement Syndrome", right? www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-tr...

This is not a war between blue & red. It’s: the rich getting richer, the middle class becoming poor & the poor getting absolutely no help. This has nothing to do with efficiency. This is about tax cuts for the rich paid for w/💰 intended 4 the middle class & poor. WTFU! @vanessawbyers.bsky.social 💙

Elon Musk has no authority to strip funding from our state and local governments or to eviscerate the federal government, but that’s exactly what he’s doing. I’m suing to stop him before he does any further damage to our democracy. Read more here: ago.vermont.gov/blog/2025/02...

The Vice President's statement regarding judicial review was as wrong as it was reckless. As chief law enforcement officers representing the people of 17 states, we unequivocally reject the Vice President’s attempt to spread this dangerous lie.
