Grumpy middle-aged man.
Ennui enthusiast.
What a surprise. Trump bungled the release of the Epstein data by giving it to known Pro-Trump partisans. Any information that comes from these clowns is worthless and, in fact, will devalue any info about Trump’s extensive sexual interactions with minor girls. Impeach Trump.

Giving access to SSNs, other data on government employees to non-employees like Musk is a violation of 5 USC 552a, and carries with it a penalty of $1000 per person whose data was accessed. We are building a case. Govt employees who want to participate should contact me directly

This is the biggest threat to democracy this country has ever faced. We allowed this evil fuck to accumulate so much wealth that he feels invincible and unaccountable.
A short 🧵 on an act of constitutional arson currently underway.

Not only is it not facing ferocious resistance, Congress is mostly complicit in silence.

A private citizen, unelected, without security clearance, is dismantling a $40Bn government agency.

And millions globally will die as a result.

Write down these names. It’ll bee important to remember specifically who violated the law when accountability returns. If you’re one of Musk’s minions, you should remember that “just following orders” wasn’t a viable defense at Nuremberg. You will pay a price.

It is importantly to share this information far and wide. Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are South African immigrants who now have illegal, unfettered access to your financial data with intent to alter the American system. This is the invasion. This is the threat.
Several conversations today w people in the key executive departments. And while the particulars are hard to pin down my impression is that the Musk take over stuff is considerably worse than is being presented in the press. By this I don’t necessarily things they *done* yet but the level of …

I’m not sure that the assholes Elon Musk has sent to break into confidential government data systems are aware, but Trump won’t be president forever and he has a history of not pardoning people who’ve committed crimes for him. Be assured that when it’s time to account for the crimes, we’ll remember.

Trump is bragging on Insta about his deportations. Forget about the fact that on a pragmatic level, this policy is incredibly stupid and will harm the economy. This policy is a moral disaster designed to appeal to the worst instincts of awful people. It is actively evil.

Start stocking up now. It’s going to be necessary to stage a general strike at some point very soon. The only things these animals understand are violence and money. Violence isn’t an option, so we’ll need to make them pay the economic price for pissing on the Constitution.

Hey remember when Donald Trump said he didn’t know anything about Project 2025? He seems to have made himself familiar with it.

Or he was lying.

Trump hasn’t lowered the price of eggs, ended the war in Ukraine or gotten any hostages back, but he sure got right to work on that Project 2025 agenda.

The pro-rape president sure is laser-focused on bringing down the price of groceries and ending the wars. Oh, and it turns out he might have heard about Project 2025 after all.

Trump trying to take credit for saving TikTok is like a guy holding a gun to a hostage taking credit for saving her when he releases her.

It really is time for Schumer, Durbin, et al. to hand over the reins to people like Wyden, Whitehouse, and Duckworth.
Republicans talk about inflation and the cost of living, but here’s their plan to massively increase the cost of home ownership by making mortgages more expensive:

Important information if you or someone you care about is employed at a federal agency.

Congratulations Wyoming. You’ve elected to represent you in the Senate a man so devoid of character, so lacking in personal integrity, that his first thought when learning of a catastrophic tragedy is “how do I score political points from this?” I’m sure you’re very proud of John Barrasso.
