Tesla lost enough value today that it could have fully funded USAID for a year.

They don't want to teach history so they can repeat it.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

👏🏼

Elections have consequences 🤡

Less than 9 hours left until polls close, and every vote matters. This election will decide whether we continue making Westchester affordable, keeping property taxes low, investing in affordable housing, and strengthening our economy — or risk moving backward.

🔥 AMAZING.

Today, the Baltic states disconnected their power grids from that of Russia.

It’s taken years of prep. What a moment.

Listen, they can keep lying about USAID, but gutting the program is hurting the American Ag sector.

That is the point though. Destroy American Ag to make way for other authoritarian countries to take over the market.

DOGE broadens sweep of federal agencies, gains access to health payment systems Associates of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency have fanned out across the federal government in recent days, alarming some career employees.

ALERT TO FEDERAL WORKERS: The Thursday “deadline” set by Musk isn’t a thing. Congress hasn’t appropriated the funds to pay you what he promised should you resign by today — nor has Congress authorized anyone to threaten you with losing anything for staying on.

Doubling down on the insanity

Kamala Harris was not planning an ethnic cleansing to pave the way for golf course courses…

Both sides were never the same.

U.S. AI Safety Institute director leaves role The U.S. AI Safety Institute's inaugural director, Elizabeth Kelly, is departing her role on Wednesday, she said in a LinkedIn post, a move that leaves open the nascent government body's direction under President Donald Trump.

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

NEW: According to a source, the DoJ has sent out 14 memos in the last half hour including:

Reviving the death penalty
Sanctuary jurisdiction directives
Rescinding environmental justice directives

And restoring the integrity and credibility of the DoJ:

Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove says of the purge at FBI that the “only individuals who should be concerned … are those who acted with corrupt or partisan intent…”

A perfect description of the actions of Trump's own DOJ leadership.

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Absolutely. Grind it to a halt.

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines.

The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds.

It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

Donald Trump:
Comply with my demands or I will hurt my own people!

Canada:
Ok, we will keep doing a thing we’ve been doing.

Mexico:
Ok, we will do a thing we did under the last guy.

Trump:
I WIN!!!!

Fucking idiot.

THE ASK This week, between Monday and the vote on Vought, we're asking people from all over the country to plan a visit to Senate State Offices to demand Democrats fight and to hold Republicans accountable for their complicity. DEMOCRATS MUST USE EVERY PROCEDURAL TOOL TO SHUT DOWN TRUMP'S AGENDA Yes, we need Democrats to vote no on Vought's nomination, but no is not enough. Democrats have the power to grind Senate business to a halt and force Republicans to feel the political cost of backing Trump's extremist agenda. Here's how: 1. Deny a Quorum: If Republicans don't have 51 votes in the chamber, Democrats can walk out and shut down Senate business entirely. 2. Block Unanimous Consent: Object to every procedural shortcut, forcing Republicans to take the longest possible route for every step of the confirmation process. 3. Max Out Debate Time: Use all 30 hours of debate on Vought to expose Project 2025, Musk's Treasury takeover, and the funding freeze. 4. Delay and Disrupt: Force roll-call votes, quorum calls, and procedural delays to slow everything down. 5. Blanket Opposition: Democrats cannot continue to vote for Trump's other nominees, helping to install more MAGA loyalists into powerful positions in the federal government while this power grab continues. No Business as Usual: This is a constitutional crisis. Democrats must abandon the old rules and fight with everything they have. Bottom line: Senate Democrats must block, delay, and obstruct every step of this process-no cooperation, no easy votes, no fast-tracking Trump's takeover. To learn more about how Senate Democrats can shut down Trump's agenda with procedural hardball, check out our explainer here.

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...

BREAKING: I’m hearing from several VA employees that they have been locked out of VATAS - thats how employees request leave - like administrative leave to file EEO complaints. It also shows your work schedule and OT. If this has happened to you, please reach out using the contact info in my bio.

Yep, this is entirely real.

Top F.B.I. Agent in New York Vows to ‘Dig In’ After Removals at Agency James E. Dennehy, the highly respected leader of the largest and most important field office in the bureau, said the F.B.I. was in a “battle of our own.”

“Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own, as good people are being walked out of the FBI and others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and FBI policy."

Donald Trump, who is credibly accused of sexually assaulting children, changes the law to protect those who sexually assault children.

Everything Donald Trump does protects people like him.
