The President of the United States has the emotional maturity of a teenage bully.

Elon's "call out conflicts" plan doesn't seem very solid

because they rely on the uneducated to follow whatever they say and they can’t make any money off public schools.

😆😢

what a bunch of minions

BREAKING: Rep. Melanie Stansbury just TORCHED House Republicans for letting Elon Musk ILLEGALLY access YOUR data & dismantle government agencies! The GOP refuses to hold an unelected billionaire accountable. Things are EXPLOSIVE on the House floor!

A federal court just blocked Elon Musk from interfering with the federal government’s payments system.

There is power in fighting back. We won’t let up until this block is permanent.

For the last 24 hours: Senate Democrats have been HOLDING THE FLOOR to fight back against Trump’s nomination of Russell Vought for OMB.

His policies will hurt children, seniors, veterans, and more.

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

Just get a little extra white paint for that R!

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority.

Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness.

The US spends 2x more per capita on health care than any other nation. Yet 85 million are uninsured or underinsured, 68,000 die because they can’t afford a doctor & we pay the highest prices in the world for Rx drugs.

Health care is a human right. We must pass Medicare for All.

New Hakeem Jeffries letter to colleagues: "As we prepare to come back into session tomorrow, House Democrats will continue to push back against the far-right extremism that is being relentlessly unleashed on the American people."

Elon Musk’s Team Now Has Access to Treasury’s Payments System

"Kids might die, but Robert Kennedy can keep cashing in," Sen. Elizabeth Warren says during a heated exchange with #RFK Jr. over whether he would agree to not taking fees from suing drug companies.

X and Meta Scramble to Settle With Trump Facebook’s parent company has reached a $25 million deal with the president, and Elon Musk’s platform says it’s negotiating its own settlement.

The settlement negotiations between Donald Trump and tech companies “raise the question of whether Trump is using his new powers to bully his legal opponents into submission, and whether the litigants are seeking to purchase favor,” @michaelscherer.bsky.social writes.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

The president can veto or support legislation. He can make recommendations to Congress. But he doesn't have the unilateral right to change laws.

Trump has very little respect for the rule of law & our Constitution. He is moving us toward authoritarianism.

We must stop him.

She loves you so much ❤️🥹
