How did the poor guy mowing your lawn every two weeks become the biggest national security threat, rather than a Defense Secretary posting war plans on Signal?

A quick break from Signalgate to remind you how many Americans receive Social Security:

54.4 million get $1,975/month in retirement benefits

8.3 million get $1,581/month in disability

5.8 million get $1,546/month in survivors’ benefits

Trump & Elon are working to end that. Stay loud.

Why are my elected representatives hiding from their constituents? #SCpol

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

Outrageous! Literally whitewashing history.

There is literally HIV being transmitted from mom to baby because of the illegal shutdown of US AID and now Trump’s State Department wants to spend 400 million dollars on Tesla cyber trucks. This is not about efficiency. It’s a smash and grab.

Remember when people not having clearances with access to classified information was very scandalous for Republicans? Yesterday the Oversight Committee refused to consider a subpoena for Elon Musk.

Call the House’s committee on government oversight and ask that they investigate Elon Musk. 202-225-5074.

I’m in Oversight Committee right now. Ranking Member Connolly just called for a vote to subpoena Elon Musk. Republicans out-number us on this committee, but many aren’t in the room. We’ll see who wins this vote. We deserve transparency and answers.

the Oversight Committee immediately devolves into chaos after Democrats call for Elon Musk to come and testify

🚨 BREAKING: Rep. Gerald Connolly, Democratic Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight, just introduced a motion to SUBPOENA Elon Musk.

MAGA James Comer, chair of the committee, refuses, and chaos interrupts.

Anyone see the house oversight committee hearing where ranking member tried to subpoena Elon Musk? The republican side of the dais was half empty until the moment when a roll call vote was requested and suddenly they all magically appeared (LATE TOO) to table this request by 1 vote.

Popular meme format, grandma labeled with "bluesky's public launch was one year ago today." Younger person helping her labeled with "sure grandma let's get you to bed."

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been!

with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

Rand Paul beginning to realize that the rest of his conference stands for nothing other than blind loyalty to the Godking.

BREAKING NEWS: Netanyahu says he’s on the way to U.S. to meet with Trump

Spirits giant Brown-Forman — whose flagship brand is Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey — announced that it’s closing its barrel-making plant in Louisville, KY. That move comes as American whiskey producers face 25% retaliatory tariffs from Canada in response to Trump’s 25% tariffs on Canadian goods.

Bird flu outbreaks in New York, Ohio, Indiana and Minnesota have wiped out well over a million chickens, ducks and turkeys. 🐓 🦆 🦃

The past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway.

And those who warned America about it were right.

No. The only chance to correct anyone and present facts is right in front of them. Having a discussion with them. Listen to the show I did with them.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

This is the GOP’s long con on full display.

We Are on Our Own From Marc | Our institutions are not going to save us. Only we can do that.

Lots of institutions and leaders have capitulated. In the days to come, even more will bend a knee. They want it seem inevitable or smart. It is not.

That is why I wrote that those of us committed to standing up against Trump are on our own. But, together we can fight and when we fight we will win.

Interesting they are suddenly concerned for their own safety but were never concerned about the lives and safety of those they swore or about to swear an oath to protect

“MAGA doesn’t realize the symbolism of [Trump] moving the inauguration inside: The billionaires, millionaires and oligarchs will be at his side, while his loyal followers are left outside in the cold. Welcome to the next 4+ years.”

For reference: temperates at previous inaugurations
