Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

I needed to hear this voice and these words at this moment. "This chapter will not be written simply by whoever occupies the Oval Office or wealthiest among us. The American story will be written by you, by we the people." Thank you, VP Kamala Harris. #NAACPImageAwards

If I had to respond to an email as a federal employee asking me what I did at work last week, I'd make sure to list all the duties I had to absorb because of mass illegal firings, followed by a description of what the EPA's Walter Peck did in Ghostbusters.

If you’re unsure what to do, ask your supervisors. Otherwise, don’t respond. Musk et al have zero legal authority to demand this and dish out consequences for non-compliance.

Meet four Minnesota federal workers mourning the loss of their dream jobs Many Minnesotans are among those facing unemployment, as the Trump administration slashes jobs across agencies. The state is home to more than 18,000 federal workers, with nearly 60 percent working fo...

I think these sort of stories are important at this moment. It's one thing to report the number of employees fired (which is very high!). It's another to make people (and elected officials) confront the fact that these are their neighbors.

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well.

His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel.

Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.

Current mood

Odd how the turns have tabled… Trump reversed course and admitted that Russia did, in fact, invade Ukraine. International news sources and independent media have stepped up to keep Americans informed.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position.

You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

A Friday-Night Massacre at the Pentagon Trump’s purge started with his firing of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the top Navy officer, and the vice chief of the Air Force.

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social!

"Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

Infuriating! 😡
Don’t Cut My Medicaid!

The majority of my son’s medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs).

Telehealth appts are needed & necessary!
My son has extreme car anxiety, not to mention wear and tear on our car, gas! 🤬

And we’re not alone!

DOGE’s expenses have risen above 40 million, with weekly costs now exceeding 10 million. We will release an updated DOGE staff list soon.

He nails it.

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the US.

It is laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world.

The emerging battle will be global democracy vs. a global oligarchy.

The US is emerging on the side of global oligarchy.

If you are experiencing rage and despair about what is happening in America and the world right now because of the Trump-Vance-Musk regime, you are hardly alone. But a groundswell of opposition is growing. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/ten-reasons-for-optimism

DOGE’s Only Public Ledger Is Riddled With Mistakes The figures from Elon Musk’s team of outsiders represent billions in government cuts. They are also full of accounting errors, outdated data and other miscalculations.

Elon Musk and his team say they have saved the government $55 billion. Their “wall of receipts” is riddled with mistakes.

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.
