‘We used an app that a journalist was able to hack into while we discussed war plans’ doesn’t seem like the greatest defense to me.

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.

Trump was not elected in a free and fair election. It was and is a coup. It’s an illegitimate government.

Trump cut 1,000 jobs at the VA for disabled veterans, military spouses, and medical researchers. This means longer wait times and less care for our veterans.
Absurd. Completely abandons those who’ve served our nation.

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse.
The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million
