Rat Attack Possum

I genuinely cannot believe how many Democrats are spending their energy on destroying Mamdani when the GOP is trying to turn ICE into a full on secret police by drastically raising their budget

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

I am begging people not to look to the NYT for coverage of what's happening. The BBC, Le Monde, Ajazeera and others will have more truthful coverage.

What could have been. I’m so tired of these people who choose to be pummeled, convinced that standing up for themselves might offend some imaginary voter, and of how their defenders make excuses for them and trash internal critics who want the party to be better. www.offmessage.net/p/boycott-th...

look, i am not qualified for, frankly, much, but i am absolutely well qualified to tell you that this is a man is who under the influence of a staggering amount of amphetamines

Why do I feel that our European, African, Asian, Australian and South American descendants will be saying, “my American grandparents came here with nothing…”

Do I have this right? Elon Musk - the guy in charge of preventing wasteful spending - dropped $40M on a Super Bowl ad?

We could permanently house 800 homeless veterans for $40M. Or provide five million meals to the hungry. Or replace lead pipes in 8,500 homes.

also tom cotton, another “constitutional conservative,” eagerly working to makes his branch of government utterly supine. but then these people imagine they have found a cheat code to let them rule forever

He’s undermining bureaucratic government at such a basic level that it seems like congressional pages should be able to take him into custody

These guys did expect to run a government when they got elected/appointed, right? How is there no pushback at all from people with the actual power to govern

Maybe Elon put himself on the list and this can all end

House Democrats try, and fail, to subpoena Musk Notably missing the vote was Rep. Ro Khanna, who is close to Musk.

Three Democrats are saying Ro Khanna was given a heads-up about the vote to subpoena Elon Musk, and accusing him of intentionally missing the vote in the House Oversight Committee. (Khanna, who has ties to Musk, has said he was unaware.)

Elon Musk @elonmusk Bingo QT @Indian_Bronson • 10h What's happening in America is roughly equivalent to the yearbook committee and theater kid types getting rocked by a football team and chess club alliance.

this is the most loser shit I’ve ever read

Really disappointed to find out despite all the movies & tv shows ever made a bunch of law enforcement pros who look like cocaine sweaty Gerard Butler aren’t strapping on bulletproof vests, loading 12 gauge shotguns & doing press checks on their pistols in a speeding SUV headed to the Treasury Dept.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM.

We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building.

Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

modest annoyance: i don’t think calling tariffs “taxes” is gonna make a dent. “instead of taxing americans, we’re going to tax canadian companies.” there aren’t magic words here

“Separately, a directive prohibiting C.D.C. employees from holding scientific meetings or communicating with other organizations or the public was indefinitely extended on Saturday”

Today, Trump has:
-indicated he'll purge the FBI of everyone who isn't a fanatical loyalist
-allowed his crony to seize all government funding in an effective coup
-ripped the entire federal government off the internet

Today, Democrats have:
-done nothing
-said nothing
-tweeted about egg prices

Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials.

okay so what legal authority does elon musk have to commandeer the office of personnel management and access reams of sensitive data? www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

“Some of the same people who helped Musk take over Twitter more than two years ago are now registered as official GSA employees.”

A monster!
