Weβve received a lot of questions about Trumpβs demolition of the White House East Wing.
Hereβs how the process is supposed to work:
At any given moment, Trump may be lying or he may be hallucinating. But heβs clearly calling the shots. The task for the rest of the apparatus of government is to get to work turning that lie or hallucination into reality. www.thebulwark.com/p/is-he-lyin...

In case you missed it β Donald Trump and Elon Musk are getting ready to privatize the Postal Service.
Let's talk about what that would mean:

Heβs a private citizen! He wasnβt elected. He has nearly 7,000 satellites in orbit around planet earth with more in the works. He has no loyalty to the United States. If it wouldnβt be okay with you that he (or anyone) took control of your companyβs or your personal bank accounts, how is this okay?

No one elected Elon Musk.
As Donald Trump allows Musk to access peopleβs personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences.
We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.
FBI firings are a 5 alarm fire.
Firing the senior leadership, scores of senior agents and hundreds of line agents will make us less safe from criminals and external threats. This is a catastrophe of yet incalculable proportions. These attacks on law enforcement are a menace to the American people.
Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? Itβs not the price of eggs!

Nobody is paying attention to things like this because the CDC no longer communicates. The current occupant of the White House broke government. He broke the ability to keep America safe. This is spreading, and this administration plans to pretend it doesn't exist.

The tweet claims teachers will be banned from using a transgender student's desired name or pronouns, with budgets at risk of being defunded if they do not comply. The image includes a photo of Donald Trump sitting in a suit with his hand on his chin, next to an empty classroom with desks and chairs.
