Hey DOGE where’s our 5 Billion? I say at least we’re owed, some stock and a board seat.
Musk’s SpaceX, a privately held company which gets 84% of its revenue from tax payer funded contracts, pays no taxes and due to changeTrump made in 2017 never will.

SOCIAL SECURITY ISN'T AN ENTITLEMENT, IT'S AN EARNED BENEFIT.
On it's 90th anniversary, Social Security is under attack like never before. That's why I’m fighting alongside @sanders.senate.gov to pass our Social Security Expansion Act to expand benefits & extend the life of the program by 75 years.
The Dems really, really, *really* need to make Miller the face of the administration, the way Musk was until recently. He’s hugely unlikeable and has the potential to create major drag if he is out front and center.

"the unpredictability is part of the solution" / it must be, and things like this always tend to be, creative, changing as it goes on ... "it has to be about the future" / give people the sense that things can be much better — and they can be much better ... and "it has to be a coalition", including some persons from the other political side

We know now more than EVER before: The Trump Administration’s cruelty and inhumanity knows no bounds.
HERE is the news Sen. DURBIN just broke after staff visited two ICE detention facilities. A THREAD.
This isn’t about budgeting. It’s about power.
And it’s about protecting Trump from the rule of law.
I’ll be voting against this bill — and speaking out against any attempt to weaken our courts.
The result:
1⃣ Judges would lose one of their only tools to make sure the law is followed.
2⃣ Agencies could be dismantled in violation of court rulings.
3⃣ Trump could keep defying the courts — with no consequences.
Courts routinely waive that bond — especially in public interest cases or when the government is the defendant.
This clause would block enforcement in cases where a judge already ruled and didn’t require a bond. Even permanent injunctions could become meaningless.
Right now, if you ignore a federal court order — like an injunction — a judge can hold you in contempt. That’s essential to the rule of law.
But Section 70302 says courts can’t do that unless the plaintiff paid a bond at the start of the case.
Why is that a problem? ⬇️
🤣😂

Workers are under attack! Whether you’re an immigrant, a union worker, farmer or govt worker, let’s stand up for labor rights in this country!
5/1 there will be massive protests. Search for some near you and make your voices heard!
Here’s the one I’ll be at!
See you there! ✊💙💪
It was never about saving money—or rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse.
Musk bought himself a presidency, and in exchange, Trump handed him the keys to our government so he could tear down anything in his way, siphon off our data w/his hackers, and line his pockets w/more fat government contracts.

@AndrewDesiderio: THUNE to me just now when asked about some Freedom Caucus members not being moved by his statement — “At some point, these guys just have to take yes for an answer. We’re aligned. We’re completely aligned with the House.” Says he thought his statement was “straightforward”
They’re essentially telling everyone "Shut up, fall in line, and we’ll help you take people’s health care."

House Republicans just voted to cut health care, cut school lunches, and cut veterans' benefits — all to hand $7 trillion in tax breaks to Elon Musk and his billionaire friends.
They've deserted their hardworking constituents to help the rich get richer.
The right to vote is the FOUNDATION of all other rights. Without it, our voices are SILENCED, and our freedoms are COMPROMISED.
The SAVE Act is a DIRECT ATTACK on this foundation, putting EVERYTHING we hold dear at risk.

The House just voted to make it harder for millions of Americans to vote—including women who changed their names after marriage.
Call your senators and tell them to vote NO on the SAVE Act. You can use our easy click-to-call tool to make your calls right now: go.redwine.blue/SAVECYR-FB
"If you can prove someone's a gang member or has committed a crime or is violent, round them up, put them on a plane, get them out. But you have to prove that, right?" Right?
