Do not come, Donald Trump.

You are neither wanted nor needed here in Illinois.

I hate to say the obvious here, but Musk will make a show of stepping back but will not actually step back. This is an attempt to throw a comms bone to Republicans who have been privately sounding the alarm about what's pretty clear to all of us: the public doesn't like Musk.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns.

Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity.

It’s been the plan for decades.

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

Is the Democratic leadership suggesting now is not the time to be disruptive? If not now, when? Because it really seems like now is the time…

At some point I need Democrats to also understand that nuance is dead. There is no room for a "nuanced" position on things that are black and white. I get these ten Dems that supported the censure of Al Green are "standing on their principles" but your opponents are not. Stop giving them wins

I wanna know where they all are. Harris, Biden, Clintons, Obamas, etc. Did Biden and Harris make a back room deal with the Felon to keep their mouths shut. Ours and their country is literally being destroyed hourly. Not a peep, other than Jill at the Superbowl and Harris at the Supermarket.

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking β€œI’m worried about the deficit!”

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

I’m reading about the fall of the Roman Empire. The self-dealing, the faux populism that was really all about self, the appeal of amoral rulers who pettily ridiculed opponents personally, but were liked because they were β€œfunny” [Caligula] all mirror current Trump America. It is frightening.

Enough. The Democrats must shut down the Senate and use their power. Stop voting for these idiots. Stop all unanimous consent. Demand answers. Filibuster. Where is the fucking outrage?

The head of the FAA was fired because he held Elon Musk accountable for SpaceX safety omissions.

Donald and Elon don't care about regular Americans dying in plane crashes, they only care about themselves getting richer.

It doesn’t matter who he blames, do you feel safe getting on a plane right now?

This Hannah Arendt quote feels appropriate right now

"Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty."

The White House rescinds yet another decision; this time, the funding freeze.

I would caution you not to get overly excited about each issue they rescind. We are being conditioned like lab rats; Intense fear immediately followed by deep relief. How many times now in less tha 10 days?

They’re testing. It wasn’t a β€œglitch” that turned off Medicaid portals. They’re seeing which things they can delete without a fight.

Vets benefits? Abuse shelters? Aid to children? Cancer research?

They don’t care who gets hurt. Just what they can get away with.

Keep. Fighting. Back.

They wanted you to believe they had an airtight plan. Resistance was futile. They were ready. The first week shows they’re same idiots with the more hubris and incompetence. Stop being afraid and get louder. Don’t believe their bullshit. We aren’t afraid of Ketamine Leon or Temu Nosferatu.

Stephen Miller and Homan’s goal is to shock and awe blue cities to terrify whole communities. They’ll deliberately targeting businesses, schools, hospitals churches and other places of worship. They want Americans to be afraid. Mayors and governors must stand up to them. Lawyers get on standby.

People on TikTok are reporting ICE raids happening in small cities in various states.

To get past algorithmic censorship, they’re writing down the information on paper and holding up and shuffling through the handwritten signs as they talk about pretend subjects like shopping, food, and animals.
