Poor poor Elon had his feelings hurt - poor baby - NOT

An EMOTIONAL Musk says that Tim Walz hurt his feelings because he mocked the fact that the Tesla stock has been crumbling. You can’t make this up. This is hilarious! 😭

Approval to use Signal - to ensure messages disappear. Blatantly goes against the Espionage Act. What else is being hidden from We the People.
BREAKING: A high level information security source inside the Department of Defense says they were ordered by political appointees to ignore information security regulations and install Signal on government phones for senior leaders.
EXCLUSIVE: DOD has deployed Signal on government devices overriding their own policy
A high level source in DOD has confirmed that they were ordered to approve installation of Signal on government devices by Trump officials last month

NSA sent out a bulletin last month: "A vulnerability has been identified in the Signal Messenger Application. The use of Signal by common targets of surveillance & espionage activity has made the application a high value target to intercept sensitive information." www.cbsnews.com/news/nsa-sig...
NSA warned of vulnerabilities in Signal app a month before Houthi strike chat
The National Security Agency sent a bulletin in February warning of Russian hackers trying to access encrypted conversations on Signal.

This needs to be highly visible and defeated.
If you want to dismantle social security, this is how you start. Elon Musk is now working to make it harder for seniors to access their benefits. It's unconscionable. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...

If blue states, invented a method to withhold transfers to the IRS, we'd be in a much better negotiating position. Moneys transferred could be ( for instance ;-) dependent on payments made and programs continued, records maintained and aid distributed.

I will stand for democracy and support our laws and our constitution. I stand with Ukraine who did NOT start the war with Russia. I will raise my voice and call out those supporting this regime who wants to tear down all I know our country to be. Stand with me and spread the word.

To those who have taken their spouses last name, please contact your representatives and say no to the SAVE Act. If passed you may not be able to vote

The SAVE Act Would Disenfranchise Millions of Citizens
The SAVE Act would require all Americans to prove their citizenship with documentation unavailable to millions and upend the way every American citizen registers to vote.

Pressure is on, Musk is tanking. Keep it up! I intend to protest at the local Tesla Dealer that will be opening in the coming months. What wi you do?

Ways to help. Don’t forget your state’s Attorney General. If you haven’t already, contact your congressional representative and your state senators!!

The insane Gaza idea was NOT cheered by people across the globe. Just the opposite - it was condemned, including by Saudia Arabia. We must call out these lies!
REPORTER: Is that an America first policy to send American soldiers into Gaza, one of the most volatile regions in the world?

MIKE JOHNSON: The initial announcement yesterday I think was cheered by people all around the world

If Trump's Tax on Working Families remains in effect, they would force businesses and supply chains to pass costs onto Illinois consumers.

And if prices go up and jobs are killed, we must all give credit where credit is due: Donald Trump.

Send or call your state senators and representatives messages to get Musk and his little cadre of “engineers” out of our Treasury Payment System. It’s our money. They weren’t elected and they will hurt us all!!
February 3, 2025 at 7:47 PM
What if we all just didn’t pay our federal taxes this year as a protest to what is going on? MUSK and his little band of merry men MUST get out of OUR payment systems. Remember this is OUR money. Thoughts?

Donald Trump is going to take a victory lap over this new agreement with Mexico over the tariffs.

Don't let him. He caused the chaos.

Democrats should be demanding hearings not next week but immediately to address the role of the unelected Elon Musk.
We are witnessing “a coup by a billionaire oligarch who wants to subvert the functioning of government and grab as much private power and control as his ally in the White House will permit. So far, that amount appears to be as much as he wants.” www.americaamerica.news/p/bullies-cr...
Bullies, Criminals and the Fight for America
With tariffs set to take effect today, remember that Donald Trump’s aggressive and foolish attack on our allies and Elon Musk's hostile takeover depend on Americans remaining silent

This is unacceptable. We did NOT elect Musk. We MUST keep all our trusted federal workers. This administration is breaking everything. Dems have got to speak up!!!
NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.
