This is how you hold Republican Congressman accountable. Keep it up.

🔥WATCH: “Musk has a long history of ignoring health of residents and being an enemy to working people. XAI came to MEMPHIS without holding 1 town hall.” Despite local concerns, the council approved more land to XAI for a wastewater facility. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGQ1OHY...

PIERS: “How could Zelensky have an election in the middle of a war?” TUCKER: “How did FDR?” PIERS: “Nobody had invaded America.” 🎯 (Reminder — Not holding elections during wartime is not new: www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrain...)

These people all have actual conflicts of interest that should keep them from working on any investigations like this. It's a measure of how tainted and corrupt this Justice Department is becoming and it breaks my heart. I hope it doesn't break our country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Completely nuts.

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

The Russia thing was NEVER a hoax.

WATCH: “So far DOGE has saved enough to buy each of us 3 cups of coffee.” Economist Justin Wolfers on the *DOGE DIVIDEND* It’s all a trick. Their goal is tax cuts for the rich. And they never cared about the debt.

DOGE’s accounting of its “savings” is riddled with sloppy mistakes. The five largest cuts that it listed on its website earlier this week were all incorrect — making the savings look far larger than they were in reality.

“Operation Whirlwind” What’s Happening Now? In 2025, Operation Whirlwind was launched under Interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin to investigate alleged threats against employees of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

“America First” except in literacy, apparently.

WASH POST: “Musk’s DOGE claims to have saved an estimated $55 billion through a combination of layoffs, canceled contracts, lease renegotiations and other actions. But a list that it posted of contracts and leases suggests that number is inflated.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Week in Review: A year after the information was requested, pressure from the Ombudsman has forced the Ministry for the Environment to reveal the 97 ministerial nominations. Fox Meyer reports.

Donald Trump has told Kristi Noem to spend $200 million of public funds on ads thanking him for "securing the border," North Korea-style www.semafor.com/article/02/1... www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

And...another one. #nzpol #schoollunchesnz #nzgovt www.nzherald.co.nz/northern-adv...

shockingly, david seymour lied. like he lied about when he knew his party president was a rapist.

another Nazi salute at CPAC

the fact that this is just a straightforward retelling of yesterday's events without hyperbole

This is horrific to see. And any news organization that resorts to any sort of euphemism to describe this is absolutely failing everyone.

#NZpol “The political action (of the current govt) stems from ideology grounded in ignorance, racism and fear. It has nothing to do with evidence, or public health priorities, or quality of life for people. At least, outside the tent, I’m now free to stand openly against it.” #nzpol #PublicHealth

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

You don't fire Judge Advocates General unless you plan on issuing unlawful orders. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-f...

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

Thought your Social Security was safe?

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Information was shared illegally. A career employee at the Social Security Administration provided unauthorized access to data to Elon Musk’s staffers. This employee, Leland Dudek, a data analyst, was recently promoted to acting commissioner by Trump.

"That nightmare is now on its way to becoming a reality."

I need everyone to be crystal clear that this is a continuation of RFK and the wellness community’s *obsession* with the elimination of the disabled and the chronically ill. They are disgusted by us, they view illness and disability as weakness, and they believe in using eugenics to disappear us.

But why? It’s a mystery!

He's an idiot who is incapable of learning things so he makes up nonsense and brags about how smart he is.

What if we agreed on one email to BCC all these to: like AGFE, ProPublica, or @jasonleopold.bsky.social.

I don’t know how many different ways to say that agency personnel don’t work for Elon. They don’t have to report to Elon. They report to their agency leadership, which reports to the President.

This gets my vote for tweet/post of the year. This is a RED ALERT post. This is exactly why he’s doing it.

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

"The Herald has confirmed the image remains available online and has also been posted to social media." Well, yes, one of those online places being the New Zealand Herald website. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/sorry-foo...

Any countries building Starlink into their telecom systems should be thinking twice right now.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

I assume it’s gonna be Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, and that pillow guy with the concerning twitch

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

And we got finger-wagged by a New England journo "expert" for not staying in our lane and sticking to our knitting (his words) and leaving hard stuff to (paywalled) NYT and Wapo. So we were right, and we did the right thing, and we didn't need anyone's permission to make our own news decisions.

Send Dems into rural America to talk about what Trump is doing. The Republicans are too scared and won’t show their faces…in the vacuum of messaging, there is power. Tell the folks who is hurting them. Point to the GOP. Be the foil to the shit that’s happening. Be the party of the people.

I keep banging this drum, but we need to stop treating individual evangelical churches like they are a special culty evil and recognize it's the whole ass deal. Most churches believe the exact same toxic things. 👇👇👇

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.
