Republican senators who spent the entire election distancing themselves from Project 2025 just voted to put its author in one of the most powerful positions in government.

Every Republican in the Senate just voted to confirm Russell Vought. We’re going to hold them accountable for every piece of the Project 2025 agenda he implements and all the harm it causes to the families they’re supposed to represent.

Pitch for a new spy movie: a CIA agent spends years getting close to a terrorist suspect then just before he gets the crucial piece of evidence he’s fired and replaced with a teenager who doesn’t speak any foreign languages but does have a lot of followers on X.

Everybody dies.

April 2022: USAID delivered 5,000 Starlink terminals to Ukraine through a public-private partnership with SpaceX.

March 2024: USAID's inspector general announced it was initiating an inspection of USAID’s oversight of Starlink terminals provided to Ukraine.

Elon Musk is barreling into government with DOGE, raising unusual legal questions The billionaire's campaign to radically upend federal agencies is stunning former White House officials, even in a political moment when many things are described as unprecedented.

Elon Musk has launched a campaign from inside the federal government to radically upend agencies in pursuit of his ideological goals.

@bobbyallyn.bsky.social & i report Musk is exercising a level of control so sweeping that it is stunning former top WH officials: www.npr.org/2025/02/03/n...

“We have an acting ‘President Musk’ who, though unelected, is making Trump look like a kid playing golf while daddy does the work. T “clearly can’t control this guy” and is “too weak” to run a country without someone “smarter than him” taking true control.

It’s worked before- and it could be faster than lawsuits. Maybe it’s time to call the White House, claim to be a T voter, and express our disappointment that T looks like a Musk fan boy boot licker who has ceded his presidency to a man who is making him look like a fool - and an incapable boss.

Other than blocking action in the senate, I honestly think the biggest opp we have is to turn Musk into the biggest threat to Trump’s ego such that there us a break in their relationship and T himself cuts him out.

Giving access to SSNs, other data on government employees to non-employees like Musk is a violation of 5 USC 552a, and carries with it a penalty of $1000 per person whose data was accessed. We are building a case. Govt employees who want to participate should contact me directly

An EEOC admin. judge sent a fiery all-department email this AM alleging:
1. Trump's exec orders & instructions to target private citizens with them are illegal.
2. the judge had sent an earlier email with a similar tone yesterday that later vanished from their sent folder & colleagues' inboxes.

Manu Raju on Twitter: “Cassidy could single-handedly derail the nomination by voting NO in committee. He hasn’t said how he would vote.”

Stephen Hayes on Twitter: “Senator John Curtis sat in on Tulsi Gabbard's hearing today despite the fact that he's not on the Intel Committee. He tells @TheDispatch he leaves with "more questions than answers" and says "her responses, and non-responses, created more confusion than clarity and only deepened my concerns about her judgement and what that will mean in this vital role."”

Andrew Desiderio on Twitter: “Asked Sen. Lankford (R-Okla.) what he thought of Gabbard not calling Snowden a traitor after he set it up for her “Kinda surprised. I thought that was gonna be an easy softball question” Problem for her confirmation prospects? “I think there are a lot of questions after it, yeah””

Andrew Desiderio on Twitter: “Lankford had previously said he supports her confirmation. This seems to be in doubt now.”

Cracks are starting to show in the fragile MAGA coalition and we can block some of Trump’s most dangerous nominees. Make sure your senators hear from you ASAP: nixthenoms.com?source=bluesky

Federal agencies bar Black History Month and other 'special observances' A number of federal agencies have banned celebrations related to MLK Jr. Day, Women's History Month and other such observances to comply with Trump's executive orders.

We know Black history is American history thanks to generations of Black Americans who worked and persevered to deliver on the promises of justice and equality for all.

MAGA can’t stop the generations of Black Americans who keep leading us to become a more perfect union.

Happy Black History Month.

Shameful and murderous

Senate Budget Committee on Twitter: “🚨 Budget Committee Democrats are boycotting today's committee vote on Russell Vought's nomination to OMB. We will not vote for someone so clearly unfit for office.”

This is exactly what we want to see from Senate Democrats. Russell Vought is the mastermind of Trump’s sweeping (and illegal) spending freeze, and his nomination should be withdrawn. Democrats are starting to fight back, and we need to encourage them to keep going: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

RFK Jr. stumbles over basics of Medicare, Medicaid during Senate confirmation hearings Kennedy struggled to identify and explain the fundamental aspects of Medicare, which provides coverage to older and disabled Americans.

You may know about his refusal to stop promoting dangerous conspiracy theories, but did you also know Robert Kennedy Jr. can’t even answer basic questions about major health programs like Medicare and Medicaid that he would oversee as HHS Secretary?

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

If a Democrat fired 100 FAA employees and put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers 8 days before an airport plane crash, there would be a right-wing and media frenzy for weeks.

Call Your Senators and Tell Them to Oppose Russ Vought's Nomination to Lead the Office of Management and Budget

The final vote on Russell Vought’s nomination for OMB director could happen this week, so make sure your senators hear from you. 👇

Let's be clear: the Medicaid portal went offline because of Donald Trump's orders.

The only reason it is back on is due to outrage from the American people.

Now, they are trying to lie about it.

Medicaid was never taken away from Americans under President Biden.

Good.
