Elon Musk has siphoned off more money in taxpayer dollars since November than the entire USAID annual budget.

He is the real welfare queen. #fireelon

Notice how on the day Trump promises
to release the Epstein files
he actually releases Andrew Tate,
another sex trafficking rapist.

The wealthy commit fraud WAY MORE than the rest of us do. They also serve WAY LESS time in prison.

1/ Musk seeking control over nerve systems of the federal government. As someone who spent a decade studying how centralized information systems are used for coercion this is a five alarm fire. We need to name it, identify risks, and seek to mitigate their impacts.

I don’t know about you, but these insane nominees are exhausting to think about. Trump’s orbit is made up of criminals, grifters, con artists, conspiracy theorists, election deniers, anti-science morons, billionaires who don’t give a fuck about working Americans, and sexual predators. 🤬

When I started with the Department of Veterans affairs, I was a GS-5 file clerk. I had to pass an FBI background check. If I had a rape investigation in my past, or a congressional investigation into drug-fueled sex parties, I wouldn't have gotten the job. As a file clerk.

NEW: The new AG nominee is Pam Bondi. She was the one that got a $25K donation from Trump and ended up not investigating Trump University, and then defended him during one of his impeachments.

Dear Senators:

Ask Pam Bondi about her $25,000 donation from Trump in 2013 — right when her office decided NOT to prosecute Trump University.

If she doesn’t give a good enough answer, ask more questions.

Let me get this straight, Donald Trump spent months telling Americans that he had nothing to do with Project 2025, but just appointed the author of the Project 2025 chapter on the FCC to be the new head of the FCC?

Got it.

Survivors of sexual assault know how brutal it is to be overpowered and abused, and then realize those with the power to do something about it are on the side of your abuser.

That feeling of powerlessness & injustice & rage.

And now survivors of abuse have to watch abusers take over their govt.

Pay attention to Oklahoma.

Bibles in classrooms isn't the big story.

The same legal teams behind the seeding of Dobbs are driving a case to create religious schools fully funded by the public & they've already petitioned the Supreme Court.

Understandably, everyone was focused on the election.
