Elon Musk has shut down a team of tech-savvy civil servants responsible for developing the IRS’s free tax-filing service and improving government websites. As a result, 90 employees were immediately locked out of their devices and informed that their jobs were deemed non-essential.

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

It bears repeating.

Please read—this is becoming serious!

Yes

Some of those who hold office Are the same who burn crosses

Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy. Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine.

Congrats, everyone—the Elon boycott is working! Reports indicate that Tesla inventory is swelling, especially with Cybertrucks piling up outside their factory. Keep the boycott going, and don’t forget—today is the Economic Blackout!

If you’re at home today, not spending money, and feeling bored, you might be wondering, “What could I do?” Well, task one: you can make random reports on this website: enddei.ed.gov

Turns out Zelenskyy is good at standing up against dictators.

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office. ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

As Trump looks to fund tax cuts for the wealthy by gutting health care, we’re going to save Minnesotans money by making the insurance industry pay their fair share.

Quite the message from the guy running our government

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

USB-C: 🚀 we created one cable to replace all! 🤖 oh ya each cable charges at a different speed, and others do data, there's also thunderbolt! and don't forget video... ⁉️ tell them apart? no they all look exactly the same! even your computer can't tell you the difference! isn't that great!

Do this. Say this. 👇🏻

Sharing some positive thoughts. 🫖

I wonder how the collapse of #Russian #democracy went down as #Putin swiftly accumulated power. Did his supporters deny he was becoming a #dictator or object when people called him a #fascist? At what point, if ever, were they like “okay, yeah, he’s a dictator”. How many felt they made a mistake?

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Anyone who is a grant recipient who is not getting paid, a question. Would you take a 30 PCT annual reduction, if it meant you were guaranteed to be paid ?

Wayback Machine playback (and other functions) is down because of a power outage induced hardware failure. We are working to address this issue and bring the services back up ASAP. Thank you for your support and patience!

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Any US CEO's brave enough to stand up for Ukraine & President Zelenskyy like Virgin's @richardbranson.bsky.social or nah?

Zelenskyy

ALERT: Trump called Zelenskyy a “dictator.” You can’t make this up. The same guy who tried to overthrow our government is now siding with dictators. This is what traitors look like.

"“I don’t think you can overstate how serious this breach is,” Altman said. “The information that the Social Security Administration has is a lot of personal data that most people would like to keep private and they entrusted to the government through tax returns”"

Happy Presidents day to all of the US presidents who never betrayed their country by attempting to overturn an election.

It’s sad on the eve of Presidents Day it’s appropriate to have to post this.

This is the best article I've read about #rural, #Democratic #politics. As an Iowan, it certainly resonates. #Democrats can't continue to ignore rural states; they need to figure out how to win there, and this article offers a starting point. barnraisingmedia.com/rural-americ... #democrat #iowa
