I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired!

New ride coming soon.

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

The GOP goon squad beating up the District of Columbia begins--taking our own tax dollars away from us. Defunding teachers, policy & public safety. (note the self-fulfilling meme potential here for right wing media) This is what happens when you lose your democratic rights. wapo.st/3Fd39dj
GOP spending bill would lead to $1 billion in D.C. cuts, city officials say
The bill aimed at preventing a government shutdown would make D.C. revert to its 2024 spending. City officials fear cuts to police, schools and other services.

In Minnesota, we value the people who care for our veterans, even if DOGE doesn’t.

If Trump fired you, come work for the State of Minnesota and help take care of our vets.

Awful: Internal USAID memo instructs employees to refrain from talking to the media about cuts in assistance to the most vulnerable or they may get fired, WaPo reports.

Trump-Musk Scandal at USAID Takes Unnerving Turn With Vile Leaked Memo
Can Trump and his top advisers really just act with total impunity? Or is there, just maybe, a price to be paid for starving poor people and un-indicting a corrupt mayor?

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

Yes! And posters of Trump being completely subservient to Musk. Trump licking his boots. Musk in charge, Trump following. We need to break them up, and bruising Trump’s ego is the way to do it.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
