A screengrab from House Minority Leader Jeffries’ latest Dear Colleague letter: “On Thursday, the Steering and Policy Committee will launch the first in a series of hearings that House Democrats will conduct on the Hill and throughout America. The hearing will begin at 9:00 a.m. in HVC 215, featuring everyday Americans who rely on Medicaid for their healthcare. The House Republican budget threatens to inflict the largest cut to Medicaid in history, which will devastate children, people with disabilities and older Americans. Democrats are fighting back, and the hearing will highlight the real-life implications and human toll of the extreme MAGA Republican budget.”

When Trump returned to power, one of our recommendations for Democrats to fight back was to hold shadow hearings on the damage of the Musk-Trump Administration.

We’re happy to see House Democrats embrace this strategy with the GOP’s proposed Medicaid cuts: democraticleader.house.gov/media/press-...

Trump to Cabinet: Musk has no authority to fire workers The president convened his secretaries, with Musk, to clarify power.

“According to two administration officials, Trump told top members of his administration that Musk was empowered to make recommendations to the departments but not to issue unilateral decisions on staffing and policy. Musk was also in the room.”

What is the world’s third-richest man afraid of?

Trump’s coup is still underway, and an unelected billionaire is handing teenagers the keys to Americans’ most sensitive data — yet 10 House Democrats just sided with Republicans to police criticism of Trump.

We’re seeing the beginnings of mass noncompliance Over a million federal workers refused to comply with Musk’s email ultimatum, offering a glimpse of what mass noncooperation can look like.

I want to be posting something else today. I want to be celebrating Senate Democrats who took a stand, driving thank-you calls to their offices. Instead, I have to post this (again).

Cyberpunk White Nationalism - Truthdig Donald Trump's entire political apparatus is being replaced by a tech bro oligarchy that centers white Americans.

The opening weeks of the second Trump administration have produced daily headlines that read — no, this is not hyperbole! — like science fiction.

🚨Reminder! 🚨Republicans are behind closed doors right now trying to figure out how to cut 880 billion from medicaid. Medicaid covers 41% of births in the US millions of children, and millions of people with disabilities. Keep up the pressure! Call your electeds!

Straight up political influence interfering with science. This cannot end well. Your grant didn’t get canceled yet? Maybe next time! If your research could show that the world isn’t upside down like Trump claims it is, you’ll be a target. We cannot have science contradicting the king.

We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s website—which now exceed 52%.
