This is an excellent summary of Musk’s takeover of the Treasury from @NYMag’s @chasdanner, with quotes from WSJ, NYT, WaPo, and my op-ed from @MSNBC yesterday.

But this quote from @smotus is right on the money. This isn’t efficiency. It’s a coup.

Mexican President Sheinbaum fires back at Trump in a statement: "Seventy percent of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs. Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours."

Very interesting. Elon Musk's dad talks about Elon's maternal grandparents, who were in the Nazi party in Canada and moved to South Africa because they supported the Apartheid regime.

Pete Hegseth never commanded a unit or a company—let alone battalions, brigades or whole armies.

He does not have the experience to run a Department that includes 3 million servicemembers and civilians along with a budget of over $900 billion.

He is unqualified and dangerous.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Nothing to see here. Just the world’s richest man, technically still just a private citizen, threatening to arrest democratically- elected officials.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Uneducated voters are a much greater threat than illegal immigrants.

The people who tried to save Anne Frank were breaking the law. The people who killed her were following it.

Republicans’ “anti-DEI” bill is a disgrace.

On one hand, it says that racism doesn't exist. On the other hand, it says there’s rampant “reverse racism."

This is the unserious work of the Republican Party.

P.S. they should keep MLK’s name out their mouth.

No doubt!

Knowing what we know about Donald Trump

None of this fiasco with Matt Gaetz should surprise us.

It only reinforces my singular plea to the church:

Let us not fool ourselves that anything Trump does has anything to do with the gospel of Jesus or the mission of the church.

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

Tulsi Gabbard is a Putin apologist, conspiracy theorist and friend to a Syrian dictator who gassed his own people.

Not only is she unqualified to be Director of National Intelligence—she’s likely compromised.

That's not someone who should be protecting our nation’s secrets.

[Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson]

To those of you excited by the idea of mass deportations that go way beyond the point of removing criminals, I ask:

Do the millions of busboys and dishwashers and gardeners and day care workers and housekeepers and janitors and street cleaners and sanitation workers and farmworkers who live in the shadows but make life a bit easier for you in various ways - people who have done nothing in the world to hurt you, ever, and are simply working hard each day trying to make life livable for them and their families - have they ever done anything to deserve your easy contempt?

Anything whatsoever?

Bill Clinton: He's interested in people who are loyal to him 100% of the time no matter who gets hurt. He believes that his supporters have no confidence whatever in the federal government. And Lord knows he's done everything he could to destroy that confidence.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: Senator Lisa Murkowski just announced she won’t approve any of President Trump’s nominees unless they are properly vetted by the FBI. This is huge.

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

Wait, so you’re telling me that Trump and Vance repeatedly LIED to all of America during the campaign? I’m gobsmacked.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

She makes a good point
