So likely the world’s first Trillionaire Elon, who received $36 Billion in govt subsidies and contracts to generate his wealth, is telling the people who built this country what they can live without, as he giggles with his chain saw. Something ain’t right

But what Elon wears to cabinet meetings, and daily, is A OK? What a ludicrous comment this was. This whole exchange reminded me of a bunch of sixth grade boys ganging up like a pack.

Portnoy asking better questions than most

Perfect

87% of jobs at Amazon pay less than $20 an hour while half of its warehouse workers struggle to cover food and housing costs. Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos saw his net worth increase by $7.9 million an hour in 2023. Is this the "free market" Bezos is so desperate to defend?

CALL TO ACTION: Call your representatives at (202) 224-3121 and ask what criteria they plan to use when “vetting” their constituents.

Breaking it, then profiting off the *fix* The same way they profit off of education privatization… health care… etc… They count on you not realizing it. You are their piggy bank.

It’s horrifying that it’s come to this, but as someone with a deep affinity for Europe I feel moved seeing that continent come together to try to save itself in the absence of any meaningful aid from the totalitarian regime that’s in the midst of taking over the United States through an illegal coup

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

Yes, there's a big difference between the parties. One is working FOR Americans And one is working AGAINST us. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory #Opposition

Salute to @jonossoff and others who got this HBCU program restored, helping Tennessee State & others. thehill.com/homenews/edu...

This makes me want to cry. It is such a petty thing to do.

This news truly breaks my heart. We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line! abcnews.go.com/Health/1st-m...

Hiding from the public sounds like a great 2026 re-election strategy for Republicans DEMAND A TOWN HALL FROM YOUR GOP CONGRESSMAN

Unfricken believable.

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

Congrats @meidastouch.com !!! www.newsweek.com/meidas-touch...

This is evil. Pure evil.

Make a huge mistake. Then make a false claim about how you fixed it. They did it for PEPFAR. Now Ebola. I follow this particular topic VERY closely, so here's what really happened and why this isn't true AT ALL...🧵

FACT SHEET: Trump Administration, DOGE punish agencies investigating Elon Musk’s companies. Thank you @raskin.house.gov

Gen. C.Q. Brown was at the U.S.-Mexico border when he was fired. Gen. Brown was fired as he was evaluating the military’s role in supporting U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CPB). Fired as he was tending to one of Trump’s top priorities — border security.

"Immigrants didn't steal my job. The president did."

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

200 million dollars of waste.

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

Another department tells its employees to ignore Elon…

He nails it.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

Did y’all see the look on Rubio’s face after that Russia meeting??? Man looked like a ghost—as he should. Dude sold America out to Russia for less than a bag of airline peanuts, and he knows that’ll be all history remembers him for. Just pathetic.

This is the House Republican budget plan that Donald Trump endorsed. Trickle up economics.
