In response to Trump’s address to Congress, Senator Elissa Slotkin gave a good, normal speech in which she laid out some of her party’s issues with Trump. “It was so normal, in fact, that it was exactly the wrong speech to give,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes. theatln.tc/R8Xcv3Vx

📌NOTE: If you are a Democrat who went to that lying hate-fest last night in Congress armed with a fucking Ping-Pong paddle, congratulations ... You are a real-life metaphor for the pathetically weak response to Republicans' ongoing attack on America.

🚨 The Media Has Been Captured 🚨
Corporate media has surrendered. Right-wing propaganda dominates. "Independent" media mostly just narrates our collapse.
This isn’t just media bias—it’s the final stage before fascist control.

📌URGENT: The Associated Press is one of the foremost news operations in the world. Without it, most media entities could not survive.
📌Well, the AP has now been barred from the White House.
I'd suggest very strongly that any media that gets its news from AP takes a damn stand here in solidarity.

While it may appear a small concession, Google Maps now kneels to authoritarianism and one man's whims. As many concessions pile up, they're no longer small. Trump is no king, and Google should not treat him as such.

Does it matter? Can anybody hold them accountable? Nope.
Himes statement excerpt: “From what I have learned, the CIA should not have transmitted these names in this fashion, nor should the White House have insisted on such a clearly irresponsible approach, one that could genuinely put people in danger.“

The sparse news coverage that exists of the Billionaire's Coup is, frankly, incomprehensible to a lay audience. "Treasury payment system" is meaningless jargon to most people. Tell people in plain language "Here is what Trump and Musk are doing, and here is how it affects Americans."

These are the Dem senators who voted to confirm Bessent, the dude who handed over YOUR personal/financial info/Social Security/Medicare/tax refund info- EVERYTHING - to Edolf Musk. Write to them. Call them. Now. Demand they do something and that they NOT confirm another single appointment.
16 Democratic senators recently voted to confirm the Trump-appointed Treasury Secretary who just gave Musk’s team access to a Treasury payment system that disburses trillions and holds mass quantities of personal information. Food for thought. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

Hey democratic senators who have voted for or will vote for any trump nominees, this is what your voting for.
I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x
Elon Musk’s Team Now Has Access to Treasury’s Payments System
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave Mr. Musk’s representatives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency a powerful tool to monitor and potentially limit government spending.

Hey @wyden.senate.gov and @warren.senate.gov !
Warren is the ranking member on the Senate Banking Committee. Wyden is the same on the Senate Finance Committee. They need to go to the Treasury building with crews from CNN and NBC and demand to be let in. As soon as they're not, hold a press conference right there and explain what DOGE is doing.
