For those following at home, there is a strategic design to Bernie's Fight Oligarchy tour. The congressional districts he has visited are all held by Republicans in tight seats (Bacon, Miller-Meeks, Steil). Today, he'll add two more (Van Orden, John James).

[EU says Elon should not lie abt my blue check @emptywheel]

Since Elon is bragging about putting a hold on govt credit cards, here's the kind of insanity that results: Treasury was locked out of their PACER account.

[This follows SEC getting locked out of Westlaw.]

I don't know how Trump plans to Make America Great Again when his neglect of avian flu has led his Ag Secretary to go begging other countries for eggs.

Reporter: Some of those cabinet members were caught off guard by the email—

Leavitt: Nobody was caught off guard

Reporter: The FBI was. The DOJ was

Leavitt: Did anonymous sources say that?

Reporter: The cabinet secretaries and others have said they were not aware that this was happening

I think it’s going to be very difficult for the House and Senate to reconcile this budget, but trying to force the House Energy and Commerce committee to cut 880 billion is going to kill people.

Anyone who says Medicaid won’t be impacted is lying.

The committee could *zero* out every one of their non-medical (Medicaid, Medicare and CHIP) budgets and still be short by 600 billion. With a b.

As an Elon Musk biographer, I would peg his IQ as between 100 and 110. There’s zero evidence in his biography of anything higher.

And I want to repeat that now, lest you think it a typo.

There’s zero evidence, from his life history, of Musk having anything higher than a 110 IQ.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

I am hearing of hard working Americans who voted for Trump and now are being fired from their jobs with the Parks Service, with Veterans affairs, with USAID, with NIH etc. If you are a Trump voter who is being fired or has a family member being fired, please share your story.

[Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons]

$300 million worth of medications are sitting on pallets about to expire thanks to Trump's effort to gut foreign aid. These drugs would've prevented people from going blind from a preventable tropical disease—Donald Trump would rather waste them in an East African warehouse.

ugly behavior, as we’d expect

Elon Musk is mad about Judge McConnell’s decision to unfreeze federal grants…

So he posted a picture of his daughter, her full name, her position of where she works, and a page of a signed tax statement she filed.
The judge’s daughter. 😯

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

Trump, Elon, and their allies are calling all spending they don't like "fraud." Spending on things like consumer protection, Social Security, and medicine for sick kids.

But just calling something "fraud" doesn't make it so. Here are the actual facts 🧵⤵️

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

So when the GOP goes after social security, are yall going to admit that you screwed up with your vote? Or are you too committed to the bit at this point?

[Barb McQuade @BarbMcQuade]

Calling all former feds. Your Senators and members of Congress need to hear from you.

[Barb McQuade @BarbMcQuade]

Firing FBI agents for investigating violent crimes perpetrated against Capitol police officers is an illegal attempt to rewrite history and intimidate agents into submission. I’ll discuss with Stephanie Ruhle at 11:30 pm ET on @MSNBC.

[Barb McQuade @BarbMcQuade]

Regardless of one’s policy views of USAID, the executive branch can’t destroy it legally because it is authorized by statute. Only Congress can eliminate it.

[Barb McQuade @BarbMcQuade]

As I discuss in my book, Attack from Within, authoritarians demonize anyone who checks their power. Trump is trying to villainize the honorable prosecutors and agents who enforced the law against his “Stop the Steal” minions. Don’t fall for it!

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

What is happening to USAID will cost untold lives around the world, devastate America's standing, and massively empower China and other countries. There's no excusing it - it's a shameful, stupid, self-own without excuse and a harbinger of even worse to come.

[Bhavik Lathia @bhaviklathia]

Senator @ChrisMurphyCT is right—if we don’t fight with everything we have right now, we risk losing it all.
