The Sun Times has always been the poor relation to the Tribune, but this is just pathetic.

Listen, Republicans aren't just passing some tax cuts, and they're not just destroying Medicaid to do it.

They're cramming through a laundry list of partisan goals that will upend all parts of the government and harm families and communities in all sorts of ways.

It's one big, bullshit bill... 🧵

Fight Against Elon Musk’s Government Takeover ⭑ 5 Calls UPDATE (02/02/25): Musk and his DOGE team of personal allies have also now gained access to classified material including high-security intelligence …

It’s a new day - time to reach out to your legislators and demand they stop the takeover of the US government. 5calls.org/issue/elon-m...

Trump advisers weigh plan to dismantle Department of Education, WSJ reports U.S. President Donald Trump's advisers are mulling executive actions to dismantle the Department of Education as part of a campaign by Trump's close adviser Elon Musk and his allies to reduce to size of the government's workforce, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.

They're gonna do it. They're gonna eliminate the Department of Education.

Call your reps 👉 5calls.org/issue/educat...

Education is a fundamental right, not a privilege for the wealthy.

Suggestion to Americans: If you used a current bank account with funds on a recent tax return, it may be wise to contact your bank and request a change. Account and routing numbers are accessible, and Elon Musk’s staff have access to this information. Stay safe and protect your assets.

There are 637 days until the midterm elections.

Our coalition has grown rapidly, now standing strong with over 92,000 federal employees. We are united by our oath and our commitment to hold the line. Every day, more of us are being targeted simply for speaking the truth to America.

Call them want they really are: HACKERS

This "DOGE engineers" thing is bullshit!

They are boy hackers! Plain and simple

This is 2016 Cambridge Analytics bullshit on steroids

Get them out of government. Most not old enough to be elected to anything. One suspects they are part of Musk’s gaming posse.

YOU SWORE AN OATH TO US, NOT ELON GET THE TOOLKIT TO TAKE ACTION: INDIVISI.ORG/CHOOSETOFIGHT

This week, we’re asking you to plan a visit to your closest US Senate office to push senators to stand up against Trump’s lawless overreach. The ask will be slightly different if your senator is a Democrat or Republican. We put together a toolkit with everything you need: indivisi.org/choosetofight

That sounds like a dare…

📣📣 Sound the alarm. Let's organize by city and get out in the streets before it's too late.

6/6 How to contact your U.S. legislators:

5/6

It’s criminal and must be stopped.

Please take action to oppose Musk and support any legal means at your disposal to stop this steal and protect our nation. Thank you for your service and actions to protect us and democracy.

4/6 Musk threatens each of us personally through access to the Social Security funds we Americans have paid into, disability monies we taxpayers fund, and our personal data.

This is the latest act in a hostile takeover of our government that’s aided and abetted by the current administration.

3/6 The Senate did not vet him for his role. Nobody voted for him, and nobody voted for this.
Musk’s forced access to the Federal government payment system is unwarranted, unprecedented and dangerous.

2/6 Here’s a template of the email I sent this morning to my Senators (their voicemail boxes were full):
Dear Senator/Rep _______:
I’m (NAME), a constituent living in (CITY/STATE.) I’m very concerned about Elon Musk’s influence and access to U.S. government assets and data.

1/6 You can take action to stop Elon Musk’s egregious and dangerous takeover of the U.S. government. Contact your Senators and Representatives now and demand they take action – remember, we are their constituents and they work for us. To be silent is to be complicit in what's happening.

As we begin the celebration of Black History Month, I am thinking of those who stood up, spoke out, and took action when they saw injustices in the world – people like my friend, John Lewis. Carrying that spirit and their legacy with me this month and always.

Trump fired everyone responsible for airplane safety and a week later, planes start crashing and people died. His actions have deadly consequences.

In the middle of the chaos, there’s this little spot of joy.

While we may face repercussions for this, the truth lies in the metadata. Memos to federal employees are being authored by individuals with ties to Project 2025. You can verify this yourself.

A Senate candidate called for the deportation of Selena Gomez for sharing her despair about immigrant raids. Isn’t there some sort of basic test potential government officials should have to take before running for office or seeking a cabinet appointment?
