A good quick read and very timely.

CNBC is calling it the Tesla Chain Saw Massacre.
🤣

Musk eyes Social Security and benefit programs for cuts while claiming widespread fraud Elon Musk says Social Security and other federal benefit programs will be targeted in his hunt for fraudulent spending.

Republicans have been out to gut Social Security for years because it’s one of the most popular and successful programs ever created.  

Those who claim to care about the debt while pushing for trillions in tax cuts for the rich and corporations don't really care about the debt.

A screenshot of an X post by Olga Diem (@OlgaDiem ) posted 4 hours ago on March 7, 2025, with Ukrainian and U.S. flag emojis. The post contains a political cartoon titled "Topple the dominos," depicting a row of dominoes labeled from bottom to top as "Tesla," "Elon," "Trump," "Republicans," and "Russians." The Tesla domino is shown being pushed over by a crowd of small figures holding signs that say "FUCK TRUMP," "FUCK ELON," and "FUCK NAZIS," symbolizing a chain reaction leading to the fall of the subsequent dominos.

Everyone together now!

Mark Kelly is a retired Navy pilot, astronaut, and dedicated public servant. He is a hero.

Elon Musk is a self-absorbed coward.

Hope that clears things up.

He should work at the National Weather Service. His forecast validated!

The letter warned the firings could politicize the military and deter talented Americans from serving.

Five former defense secretaries condemned Trump’s firing of senior military leaders as “reckless” and urged Congress to reject their replacements.

Elon Musk has no authority to send emails to federal workers asking them to justify their jobs (days after he wields a chainsaw on a stage...hello?)

He has no authority to fire or threaten anyone.

Call your reps and tell them Elon Musk must be fired. 202-224-3121

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

Medicaid covers nearly half of all children born in the country and around two-thirds of nursing home care for seniors.

The Republican Party is voting today on a budget framework with will gut Medicaid to finance more tax cuts for the top 1%.

"Party of family values."

Rather than violate their oath or comply with Musk’s illegal requests, 21 civil service employees resigned today from Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (formerly the United States Digital Service), stating they would not use their technical expertise to dismantle critical public services.

😕

The Atlantic writer Anne Applebaum says President Trump's dismantling of the U.S. civil service system, and his attacks on judges and his opponents, are part of a playbook on undermining democracy. 🎧 tinyurl.com/3w32xujf

So they told us what they were going to do to ALL of us. Here is a tracker on their progress in destroying our country:

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

Actual post on the White House X page. What the Fuck?

Looks like we have even bigger issues. Yikes—the Trump administration is becoming a Russian sympathizer, spreading misinformation about Ukraine. Trump won’t even stand up to Putin, essentially telling him, “Do whatever the hell you want.”

A tweet from Lawprofblawg ( @lawprofblawg ) posted 1 day ago. The tweet reads: "You cannot determine whether you saved or cost money based solely on one side of the ledger. Example: I saved my household $2K by not paying the mortgage." Below this tweet, there is a retweet from Dima Zenik ( @DimaZe ...) also posted 1 day ago, which says: "Elon Musk and DOGE have reportedly saved the US over $100 billion." The retweet includes an image of four men in suits standing together in a well-lit room with wooden paneling and ceiling lights. One of the men is carrying a child on his shoulders.

Listen up.

Musk’s DOGE seeks access to personal taxpayer data, raising alarm at IRS Musk’s DOGE seeks access to personal taxpayer data at IRS

This has to be stopped. Like, tonight.

Well said.

Donald Trump on Truth Social- he who saves his country does not violate any Law

This is dangerous… especially after pardoning violent insurrectionists.

House Republicans released a draft budget that aims to cut $2 trillion in spending.

The programs impacted could include Medicaid, SNAP, and education programs.

Why the cuts? To finance another round of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.

It's reverse Robin Hood.

If fraud was found, they took immediate action and made all information publicly available—until they were all fired by Musk. This administration simply has different spending priorities than the last, and labeling all of it as fraud or corruption is not only misleading but also dangerous.
