I’ve released a report on 130 potential acts of corruption that benefit Elon Musk or his companies—one for every day he was a “Special Government Employee” in the Trump administration.
These examples fit the Trump agenda: billionaires win, families lose.

I urge you all to read the latest Executive Order from The White House, especially sections 3-5.
TLDR: this is the beginning of martial law within (90) days. This is a very urgent topic.

The Social Security Administration just put everybody who manages its agency website on administrative leave.
"If there's a website problem, I don’t know who's gonna fix it."
It also shuttered its civil rights office.

House Republicans want to give trillions of dollars in tax breaks to millionaires, billionaires, and giant corporations—paid for by seniors in nursing homes, families trying to afford groceries, and kids counting on getting hot lunches at school.

If you need to reset, reset. If you need to start over, start over. The "sunk cost fallacy" is absolute poison for trauma recovery. The world is full of people who are in their 2nd, 3rd, & 4th acts.

This is an excellent legal analysis by Katherine Yon Ebright and @lizagoitein.bsky.social of Trump's unlawful border "invasion" declaration.
Turns out Abraham Lincoln once led a campaign to censure James Polk for falsely invoking the Invasion Clause, which sparked the Mexican-American War.

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Trump's new executive orders aim to dismantle DEI programs and accessibility programs.
