Trump posted: ‘All federal funding will STOP for any college, school, or university that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS!’

Since Trump has claimed Elon doesn’t run DOGE, we wanted to make sure you know who is running our government. This list has been updated with 15 names.

👋 More of the kind of leadership this moment requires, please.

Proud of the local Indivisibles in NJ stepping forward this week and every week!
Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

So gather your justice and humanity, Illinois, and do not let despair overcome us when our country needs us the most.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

ROC: Call Gov. Hochul to urge her to immediately remove NYC Mayor Adams, who struck a deal to have his corruption case thrown away if he helps Trump target immigrants. Hochul has this power. Career attorneys are resigning over this blatant quid-pro-quo. www.governor.ny.gov/content/gove...

To me this cruelty and greed defines a heart that's evil.
How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.

How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65

Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Republicans are straight-up admitting they want to gut Social Security, Medicare, and veterans' benefits to pay for Trump's tax cuts.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk is spreading garbage conspiracies to justify slashing your retirement.

USAID was investigating Starlink

CFPB was the agency preventing dodgy financial maneuvers like X becoming a bank

Musk is systematically (and illegally) going after the agencies that constraint his business interests
Russell Vought, the acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and one of the authors of Project 2025, just ordered the agency's staff to effectively cease all operations in an org wide email.

OPM is planning to fire all employees on probation (less than one year of employment). Agencies have until noon on Wednesday to submit a list of probationary employees to the OPM and indicate whether they wish to retain them—though it has been stated that this will not make a difference.

1/ For the people who are asking: “Where are the protests?!” There have been many! Much of them organized by immigrants rights groups and leftists. Here’s a thread of some I have found, or know people who have attended. Feel free to add your own.
