2/2 ...People are protesting because Musk is attacking Social Security, something Americans have spent their entire lives paying into. They’re protesting because Musk and Trump are actively fueling a white supremacist, fascist movement. The time for empty hand-wringing and polite discontent is over.

1/2 It’s laughable how suddenly people are outraged over Teslas getting vandalized—where was this concern when thousands of workers were losing their livelihoods? Now, all of a sudden, the fate of Tesla factories matters, but when government employees face mass layoffs, the silence is deafening...

⚡️ New Canadian prime minister invites Zelensky to attend G7 summit in June.

Newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has invited President Volodymyr Zelensky to attend the Group of Seven (G7) summit in June, Le Journal de Quebec reported, citing a Canadian Foreign Ministry spokesperson.

Would like some thoughts on this from physicians on here.

Look at the way Trump moves his legs—like he’s having circulatory problems. And note the massive bruise we saw this week on the back of his hand.

Is he on blood thinners? If so, did he have a stroke at some point?

Trump just helped bring Andrew Tate — who is literally charged with rape and human trafficking — into our country.

U.S. Department of Defense is gutting a landmark project designed to fund social science research with important implications for national security. Dozens of researchers with grants studying violent extremism, disinformation, and threats from climate change, have had their grants terminated.

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

History Exposes the Flaw in RFK Jr.'s Drug Treatment Plan Kennedy wants to create "wellness drug rehabilitation farms." But the U.S. tried it before, and it didn't work.

I’m having great difficulty right now seeing how our political system doesn’t devolve into violence.

It's not deportation if you're loaded onto a military plane and taken to an offshore military prison where terrorists were tortured, without an opportunity to exercise your legal rights.

The word for that is disappearance. You've been disappeared.

D.C. federal judge temporarily blocks Trump plan to pause federal aid spending U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan's order runs through Monday, when further arguments are scheduled.

Pardoned Jan. 6 Rioter Is Sought for Charges of Soliciting Minor Andrew Taake, who pleaded guilty to attacking the police outside the Capitol, was just released from prison. He is being sought for charges in 2016 of soliciting a 17-year-old online for sex.

A Jan. 6 rioter who was pardoned by President Trump and released from prison last week is being sought on preexisting charges in Texas of soliciting a minor online.

This week, I introduced legislation to grant statehood to D.C. Virginia’s 700,000 neighbors in D.C. are subjected to taxation without representation, and that’s unfair. All Americans deserve to have their voices heard in our democracy.

As of 12:02 am, DOJ has advised the 11th Cir of its appeal of Judge Cannon's order in the So. District of Florida & restated its intention of releasing the J6 volume of the report & sharing the classified documents volume with Congressional leaders.

Unbelievable levels of trolling here from President Sheinbaum…Trump may have met his match😂

He warned us!

@kaine.senate.gov please honor your oath to the Constitution and insist on recounts in swing states. I am retired IT pro who can confirm, given the data, the possibility of a hacked election as other IT folks have. See Duty to Warn letter by @StephenSpoonamore to @KamalaHarris. Your oath demands it.

Very refined. Definitely presidential administration material.

Remember, their objective is to undermine public services like the USPS and public education by starving them of resources. This creates the illusion of inefficiency, paving the way for privatization.

Election junkies. You'll want to read this.

We've just released #dropoff data at the county level for 17 states along w/ a detailed press release exploring what could be causing the election trend everyone is talking about!

Ooooh. A new NY - based follower sells garden packs of 40 native plants each. <edits birthday list>

Trump announces that billionaires no longer have to comply with environmental regulations

California raw milk producer says RFK Jr. has encouraged him to apply for FDA position The California raw milk producer who has issued several product recalls for bird flu has has applied for an advisory role at the Food and Drug Administration.

His unpasteurized milk has spread e coli, listeria, campylobacter, and salmonella. Now his cows have avian flu and are quarantined.

I'm sure this has nothing to do with Elon Musk.
