The world's richest man is orchestrating a coup. This is a constitutional crisis. Senate Democrats should not be confirming any of Trump’s nominees while this power grab continues. Nothing should be "business as usual." Call them and tell them that. (202) 224-3121.

It would be helpful if more media outlets would cover the coup. If. I try discussing this with anyone who’s not Very Online, I sound like a nutter.
“There’s a CONSPIRACY the news is too SCARED to tell you.”
The widespread economic devastation will alert them I guess. But isolating right now.

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority.
Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness.

America is tuning in to the goddamn Grammys while our democracy disintegrates before our eyes. “Unless you cast your ballot so that South African oligarchs could steal your data, your money, your country, and your future, make it known to your elected officials that you wanted something else.
The logic of the coup that is going on now. And how to resist it.

It’s a coup.
It’s a coup. That’s what’s happening. It doesn’t matter if it’s only been two weeks. Impeachable offenses aren’t like wine. They don’t need to age.
If Dems don’t call it impeachable now, it won’t be effective to call it impeachable later. Go on record now.

It’s a coup.
The pace of this hostile takeover of our country is breathtaking. And all the news is highlighting are tariffs.
These stupid mother fuckers are going to close hundreds of nursing homes, homeless shelters, abuse shelters, and transitional housing for hundreds of thousands of Americans including veterans, seniors, women, and children. These fucking monsters. Flynn is such a piece of shit.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

What should we do about science funding and the other very bad government stuff?
If you’re paying attention to the news in the United States about the situation with funding for NSF, NIH, and other orgs, then I would imagine that like me, you’re furious, worried, feeling in the da...
