Congress is useless. This Administration is dangerous. This President is compromised. There is NO reason for Musk to have this level of access across our government. Our nation will rue the day we returned power to the GOP and re-elected this menace. #thepriceofeggs

NEWS: After an emergency meeting of Indivisible groups across the country, Indivisible is officially calling on Senate Minority Leader Schumer to step down from his leadership position. indivisible.org/statements/i...
Schumer and these 10 Senate Democrats overplayed their hand. They think people will forget and move on. They won't. Schumer just sealed the end of his leadership. It's done. Just a matter of when. Tick Tock.
Crockett: We had an opportunity to have a woman lead this country and I promise you, she would have led us to the promised land. But instead we got somebody that seems like he wants to take to us hell
Nothing says βThis is normalβ like Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) crossing the aisle at the State of the Union to rip a βThis is not normalβ sign out of the hands of Rep Melanie Stansbury (D-NM). So much for supporting free speech.

Senator Elissa Slotkin: Grocery and home prices are going up, not down. Trump hasn't laid out a credible plan to deal with either of those. His tariffs will start a trade war that will hurt manufacturing and farmers
Sen. Sanders: This is a government that could care less about ordinary Americans and working families.We are no longer moving toward oligarchy. We are living in an oligarchic society.
Al Green after he was THROWN out of chambers:
βI was making it clear to the President that he has no mandate to cut Medicaidβ
"It is the best way to get it across to a person who uses his incivility, who uses his incivility against our civility. "

All the folks who exited NBC today. Seen together, hoo boy. Message received.
The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes.
The battle will be fought over which companyβs AI will be used by the feds.
This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen
βToday, DEI has become the new N-word; the new rightwing abstraction deployed by Republicans to conceal their anti-Black racism.β
My latest for the Guardian, in which I cite Lee Atwater, and bring lots of receipts.
Sorry, but it has to be said:
You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.
New from 5 former Treasury Secretaries:
βWe take the extraordinary step of writing this piece because we are alarmed about the risks of arbitrary and capricious political control of federal payments, which would be unlawful and corrosive to our democracy.β

There is a simple solution to the CBS/Trump lawsuit.

We coulda had her.
ALL OF 2024
Us: He is planning to implement Project 2025.
Them: He has nothing to do with Project 2025.
The Media: See, he has nothing to do with Project 2025.
This is. NOT a drill! Basically firing 10,000 people who are working to prevent terrorism, stop hunger, ensure a free press deserve better. It doesnβt stop at USAID. Project 2025 says the Department of Education should exist. Theyβre coming for healthcare!
This man is dangerous. He is unelected. He heads an "agency" made up out of thin air with no congressional oversight. He now has access if not control of the federal payment system at Treasury. Republicans don't care and Democrats have no clue how to stop him.

A thought.
Many of us are wondering why the Democrats are not taking a more vocal and hard stand?
Maybe theyβre wondering why weβre not marching outside the GSA, protesting the hijacking of our private information and that of our government by a private citizen.
Maybe we all need to get moving.
Are we great yet?

Trump put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers and, on Muskβs instruction, fired the FAA chief early without replacing him.
This should be the only thing Dems are saying today. They should all be out on media saying this.
