Looks a lot like this guy who made a right turn on red yesterday, and almost ran over a mom with a stroller and two young children who were correctly using the crosswalk. RTOR should be illegal in all urban areas nationwide.

The official portrait of Sean Duffy, the 20th U.S. Secretary of Transportation, just dropped! 🇺🇸🔥

[Transport Research @transportdata]

The Pentagon is now literally controlled by the most extreme fully mask-off Neo-Nazis. Is @ADL still apologizing for the President’s Nazi salute? . @AJCGlobal

[Jane Coaston 🏔️ @janecoaston]

What a fascinating development.

Now the @gop is planning to send Black kids to work camps with no internet to be “re parented”

Samoa literally ran out of child sized coffins due to RFK, who was being paid millions by anti-vax groups. If even 1% of his conspiracy theory-driven ideas are implemented here, then we’ll see the same thing happen in places like Texas and Missouri. #RFKJrConfirmed

Income inequality is a major contributor to the housing and homelessness crisis. The regulations and lack of public investment in infrastructure that limit location-efficient new housing production or lack of social spending are not the only causes https://t.co/eIbuhQiQOa

Given that there’s now no public trust in the federal government ever functioning again, prepare for the value of the dollar to fall by about 90%. @GoldmanSachs

👀 DOJ acknowledges making two significant errors during a court hearing last week on efforts to dismantle USAID

1) It said only 500 employees had been placed on leave. Actual number was 2,140.

2) Said only future contracts were stopped. Existing contracts were also stopped.

An unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations. And he has all of your tax info, and you have no recourse if he steals your refund.

[Transport Research @transportdata]

Fact: Trump, Trump’s family, and some “unknown” traders in China made literally billions of dollars in a few days off of Twitter roadkill like @pepecoineth @dogecoin collectors https://t.co/TyeZ2QJpon

I think a massive cyberattack is about to take down most of the US government and crash the economy

[Transport Research @transportdata]

Given Musk has now hacked FDIC, Treasury, CMS, and the entire US gov, ask yourself what you will do if/when all of your banks go off-line, all Social Security checks stop, hospitals stop getting paid, all grants (which fund state and local gov) end, all federal staff are fired.

[Transport Research @transportdata]

@TheDudeizAwesom No, they have full write and change access too.

[Transport Research @transportdata]

Musk can now turn off Social Security checks, hospital payments, bank payments (FDIC), and federal grants to any state, congressional district, town, or village he wants. So what is the point of having Congresspersons like @chiproytx or @rep_stevewomack anymore?

[Transport Research @transportdata]

Intuit stock suddenly rose $5/share with Elon’s tweet about the deletion of free tax filing options at the IRS. @ewarren please investigate insider trading.

[Transport Research @transportdata]

So they shorted the stock market last week, along with their friends in Russia and Saudi Arabia, and are going to buy everything back after it falls 60%, right?

[Transport Research @transportdata]

Would be riotously funny if @elonmusk shorted the entire US economy and global stock market, then pulled the plug on $6 trillion in Social Security and Medicare payments and bought the entire country back at a lower price.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

It’s happening in front of our eyes. The richest men in the country - unelected and unaccountable - are seizing control of the government to steal from us to enrich themselves. To cut Medicare and elementary school funding and use that money to pad their pockets.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch.
President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.

So many women are dying in Texas since the abortion ban, that the state just stopped releasing data about it.

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett @RepJasmine]

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban.

Today, I along w/ @GerryConnolly, @RepSummerLee, and @RepPressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on @TexasHHSC to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.

[Lindsey Boylan @LindseyBoylan]

Trump: “We don’t know anything at all but we know that black people and women are to blame. I decided the minute I heard the news”
