We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Remember when we knew that everybody in Congress had gotten the Covid vaccine, but half of them pretended to be team ivermectin and sunshine.
We have enough vaccines for a 1/5 of the population and they will be at the front of the line. Remember that.

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruption—both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.

FuelArc found that, in their one year of existence, the approximately 34,000 Cybertrucks on the roads had five fire fatalities, giving them a fatality rate of 14.5 per 100,000 units. That’s 17 times the fatality rate of the Ford Pintos

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.

We aren’t even obsessing over the fact that Elon is currently lobbying the president to send US citizens to an El Salvadoran supermax prison in exchange for bitcoin payments!

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.

Sometimes, it's helpful to read visual elements across cards. For example, take a look at these three cards. See how it appears to show the Queen of Swords handing a coin to the Page of Pentacles? One thing it could represent is a sharp-witted woman giving money to her adult child.

5. It is far more likely that an actual human staffer will pick up in the state offices. If you do not feel confident about expressing difficult emotions over the phone, write yourself a short script to read when you connect with a staffer, or when you record a message on voicemail.
