No one elected Elon Musk.
As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences.
We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

A lot of people think everything will work out if we just play by the rules but don’t seem to recognize that rules only matter when everyone agrees to follow them and, well, that isn’t our present reality.

I have a new appreciation for electricity. 36 hrs without it felt like days. Other insights: 57 F in the house is soooo damned cold. A gas stove is better than electric. There's only so many fireside chats , and board games you can play. GenZ can't survive without WiFi. I look terrible in a beanie.

Anyone you see on your timeline right now praising RFK Jr. is a person you never need to take seriously on anything ever again.
It is difficult to overstate just how extreme, conspiratorial, and insane RFK’s views are, on vaccines, microchips & beyond. He’s Alex Jones in a suit.

The United States has oligarchs now.
Not merely rich people with more personal influence on politics than poorer people have, but a few extremely rich people closely connected to the national leader who act in government-like roles despite never being elected or nominated to any official position.
