This is what true politicization of the DoJ looks like.
So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

The Senate has confirmed Kash Patel, who has published an enemies list identical to Trump's, to serve a 10-year term as FBI Director.

He will be a major cog in Trump's vengeance machine to silence and intimidate critics.

Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/kash-patel-in-his-own-words

Dismantling the U.S. Department of Education would hurt all students—especially those from lower-income families and students with disabilities—by cutting essential services, increasing class sizes, and slashing civil rights protections.

Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.

History WILL NOT be erased.
Given that it's Black History Month, this seems a good time to remind folks that no matter what the National Park Service website says, we know it was trans women of color who launched the Stonewall uprising. We know our history, and we will not allow it to be erased.

Erasing our history won't erase us.

Transgender people have always been here — and we always will be.
U.S. Park Service Strikes Transgender References From Stonewall Website
The “T” was removed in references to L.G.B.T.Q.+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights. Later, the Q+ also disappeared.

Trump and Musk are basically ignoring the Constitution they--Trump, at least--took an oath to defend.

As @mcbride.house.gov said, we will not let our trans and nonbinary communities be used as political pawns.

We will continue to show up for our community and fight back against attacks on our freedoms.

Of all of Trump's unhinged cabinet picks, Bob Kennedy for HHS may be the absolute worst.

Let’s make sure this worm-brain is never confirmed by the Senate. These letters make a huge difference & don’t take but a minute.

We’re focused on feeding our kids.

Investing in our schools.

Making sure child care is affordable.

Regardless of the chaos unfolding in Washington, we’re making Minnesota the best state for kids to grow up.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are trying to drive a wrecking ball through our government.

The people who will pay a real price are the hard-working families who are just trying to make it to the end of the month.

We must use every tool to fight back.

And the racism, bigotry, and misogyny continues. The core values of MAGA. Absolutely disgusting.
The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
