@raskin.house.gov: "This is a coup, which is a seizure of state power by unelected actors... In addition to everything that Trump is doing to dismantle every part of gov’t that doesn't profit him personally, we have this additional problem of Elon Musk trying to consolidate state power under him."

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 📉

NEW: Fox News reports that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is revoking General Mark Milley’s security clearance and security detail. A review will determine if Milley should be demoted in retirement for 'undermining' Trump. Milley’s Army portrait will also be removed tonight.

Donald Trump is pardoning insurrectionists and renaming geographic landmarks to distract you from the fact he is literally about to freeze all federal assistance dollars.
He is flooding the zone to distract you. Don't let him!

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.
“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

The Hegseth confirmation shows that Republican lawmakers have put party over country. They should be ashamed, but I doubt if they are.

One way to reduce drug spend is to have the FDA do an analysis of how long medicine retains it's potency. It can do it one drug at a time.
No one should throw away medicine they shouldn't have to. Whether pharmacy or patient.

The Myth of Drug Expiration Dates
Hospitals and pharmacies are required to toss expired drugs, no matter how expensive or vital. Meanwhile the FDA has long known that many remain safe and potent for years longer.

Elected Republican officials are already calling for U.S. citizens to be deported for saying things they dislike. It's only the second full day of the Trump administration.
How bad would you say it's going to get, now that a plurality of American voters have given the keys to the kingdom to madmen?

@mcuban.bsky.social can you start a news channel on cable television, and have Aaron Parnas as one of the main journalist? It’s time we get a truthful news program for people wanting truth.

Donald Trump is trying to rename the Gulf of Mexico to distract you from the fact that he can’t lower egg prices, pardoned 1,500 insurrectionists, and rolled back policies that reduced prescription drug costs.
