You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

DOGE listed $16 billion in contracts it had canceled. But half of the total appears to be erroneous.

DOGE Claimed It Saved $8 Billion in One Contract. It Was Actually $8 Million.
The biggest single line item on the website of Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team appears to include an error.

Harming children is un-American. Yet the White House is spreading lies to justify defunding USAID—an organization that has saved over 22 million lives. Why lie about something so good? Lies don’t justify letting children starve! #TruthBrigade

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

For 150+ years, the 14th Amendment has protected children born on U.S. soil. Trump’s attack is a direct assault on democracy. Take action now. 👇 app.sosha.ai/s/Y66yk9PO

As the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wisely said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Today and every day, I pledge to never silence my voice in the fight for what is right, and I will continue to march in the path he forged toward justice.

Let’s be clear: the whole thing is a con. TikTok could’ve kept the app rolling on Sunday but by shutting down & mentioning Trump, he gets to be the savior. One of many examples of companies & billionaires bowing down.

It’s BS. But it’s also the reality. Let’s not give Trump anymore opportunities 👍🏾

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

HR 9495 provides no due process or oversight, creating a tool for political retaliation under the guise of "fighting terrorism."

Trump would abuse this power to retaliate against any org that challenges his agenda.

The 52 Dems who initially supported it must reverse course.

The House GOP is planning another vote on the bill that would give Trump new powers to unilaterally go after his political opponents with no oversight. In Trump’s hands, it would be a weapon of mass destruction against dissent.
