"Elon Musk is trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @AOC at #SaveOurServices rally of federal workers and @FedWorkersUtd.

It’s 4am - still debating the Republicans’ billionaire tax giveaway.

We offered an amendment to say no tax cut for those making over $10m. Every Republican voted no.

So we tried $100m. Every Republican voted no.

So we tried $500m! Every Republican a no.

See what’s going on?

How Hitler seized power:

1. Create a crisis.
2. Demonize opponents.
3. Declare a state of emergency.
4. Undermine elections.
5. Make the rule of law irrelevant.
6. Rule by decree.

If America falls it will be because of the people who didn’t pay attention.

Truly disturbing report in the WSJ: Lawyers at Twitter are threatening advertisers to spend more money on X "or else" X owner Elon Musk will leverage his close relationship with Trump to torpedo mergers. This goes beyond a conflict of interest. It's straight up extortion.

Anti-DEI is a re-segregation effort. So no, I don't respect your perspective, or you for that matter. You've positioned yourself as an enemy of racial progress.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states ... we're in the find out phase."

BREAKING: All seven of Elon Musk’s companies — X, xAI, Neuralink, Starlink, the Boring Company, Tesla and SpaceX —have netted a combined $20 billion in US government contracts and subsidies, according to the Financial Times.

Does MAGA care to comment?

[Will Stancil @whstancil]

Americans do not understand the incredible crisis consuming all components of their government at once. Thousands of jobs lost, projects on hold, desks unmanned, services stopped, basic safety neglected. Total chaos. Stuff is going to start breaking down, maybe catastrophically.

[MM  @adgirlMM]

Gather round MAGA. It's time
to explain this one more time.

83% of the federal workforce works outside of DC in states all across the country.

In some states, like Alabama and New Mexico, the federal government is the largest employer.

While you are rooting for hardworking Americans to lose their jobs because of "government bloat," remember these Americans are your neighbors, your friends, and maybe even family members.

When people lose their jobs, it creates financial hardship. It increases unemployment payouts. It reduces consumer demand and decreases spend, which hurts local businesses.

That happening on a national scale all across the country impacts the economy.

While saving "billions" in government spend which you'll never see a dime, you will feel the pain of the strain unemployment takes on the economy, coupled with tariffs, and increased cost of goods due to rising inflation.

Congratulations on saving the government money while hurting the lives of average Americans.

Winning. 🇺🇸

A Trump official just announced that Trump has signed an executive order claiming that ONLY the President and Attorney General can speak for “what the law is.”

They are trying to start a constitutional crisis.

⚠️Do you wonder why you haven’t heard much about this massive TB outbreak recently? Cuz the CDC can’t hold any press conferences or issue public statements of any kind.

➡️Most of the world 🌎 has been vaccinated against TB… but the US has not, which is now extra vulnerable.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Trump is holding all the nation’s hospitals and vital services hostage to seize power from Congress and hand it over to billionaires.

We must state the truth: this is a constitutional crisis. It’s a massive, illegal power grab that the House and Senate have a sworn duty to stop.

Breaking WaPo:

The White House — late Friday night — fired the independent inspectors general of at least 12 major federal agencies in a purge that could clear the way for Trump to install loyalists in the crucial role of identifying fraud, waste, and abuse.

The IGs were notified by email. https://t.co/uAAbYPmLRo

Today, ICE carried out an unconstitutional raid in Newark, detaining lawful U.S. citizens, including a veteran who served our country, without a warrant. This is a flagrant violation of New Jersey's laws, our residents' rights, and the Constitution.

[Dr. Allison Wiltz @queenie4rmnola]

Study the Reconstruction Era. Then, you will know precisely how white backlash operates in America. Any racial progress or even too much noise about potential progress will be followed by White people using the law and violence to suppress racial progress.

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Trump has revoked an executive order — signed in 1965 by LBJ — that required federal contractors to refrain from employment discrimination and take affirmative action to ensure equal opportunity "based on race, color, religion, and national origin." https://t.co/eqTRlP1S3Q

I’m extremely concerned about the advanced age and health of our president.

[ᴅᴏʟʟᴀʀ @DollarBeKnowing]

Hi, it’s me again! I just wanted to check in. So, we’re bypassing this, huh? Oh okay.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Today, after many months of intensive diplomacy by the United States, along with Egypt and Qatar, Israel and Hamas have reached a ceasefire and hostage deal.

My diplomacy never ceased in their efforts to get this done – I will speak more about this soon.

[Karen Piper @PiperK]

There it is. Trump would have been convicted of "conspiracy to defraud the United States" and "conspiracy to deprive citizens of voting rights" if he had not been elected to be president.

The U.S. is in totally uncharted territory.
