This is what spending $290 million on an election gets you. Money in politics has always corrupted, but it's hardly been this brazen.

Trump and the GOP are trying to repeal a Biden admin rule that requires lead water pipes to be replaced. Tens of millions of people, including children, would continue to have contaminated drinking water if the rules are revoked. So the GOP is the party of lead poisoning now?

Just like Bezos and Musk wished, Trump neutered the National Labor Relations Board. Now, union-busting corporations can exploit their employees with impunity. Last I checked, that's not standing with workers the way Trump promised.

The CFPB is the financial watchdog for the American people. The agency has returned $20B to the victims of financial fraud and abuse since 2011. Trump fired its director and put his treasury secretary, a Wall Street hedge fund manager, in charge. Guess what happened next...

Scoop: An Elon Musk ally has told staff that 'AI-first' is the future for a key government agency. Sources say that Thomas Shedd, the former Tesla engineer now in charge of the Technology Transformation Services, wants an agency that operates like a “startup software company." wrd.cm/4hIGH9O

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

Democrats aren’t powerless against Trump’s blitzkrieg power-grab. Senate rules are designed to protect the rights of the minority and Democrats have tools at their disposal to grind Senate business to a halt if Republicans try to ram through Trump’s extremist agenda: indivisible.org/resource/how...

No one elected Elon Musk. As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences. We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

GOP, remember when Biden gave George Soros control over the system that pays Social Security, Medicare, tax refunds & federal contracts—then used it to cut off anyone he didn’t like? Me neither, because that never happened. But it’s what Trump & Elon Musk are doing now w/out congressional approval.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

Donald Trump and President Elon Musk placed 2 top security chiefs at USAID on leave after they refused to turn over classified material to Elon Musk’s DOGE team. They allegedly gained access to the aid agency’s classified information, which includes intelligence reports, yesterday. Unacceptable.
