Musk staffers are joking about how upcoming Social Security changes will restrict access by requiring in-person visits while simultaneously shutting down offices. They are touting the cost savings from limiting access.

Follow the money and see where it goes. Nothing like buying our Congress. Musk has made the maximum allowable donation to members of Congress who support impeaching federal judges who are impeding actions taken by Trump.

Wondering what you can do to fight this awful administration? You can phonebank to elect Susan Crawford for Wisconsin Supreme Court!
Phonebanking may feel intimidating, but there are trainings and you can make calls while online with others making calls. All you need is a phone and about an hour.

Winning on April 1 would secure the liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court for the 2026 and 2028 elections.
That’s why Elon Musk is spending millions on this race.

The Capitol Police arrested a group of peaceful protesters who demonstrated today in the Cannon House Office Building against the Trump’s decision to freeze foreign aid and lay off thousands of USAID workers. The president has made his message clear: disagree with them, and they will come after you.

Thank you, everyone! Trump’s staff purge at USAID prompted well-wishers to greet terminated workers at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington. Dismissed employees were allotted 15 minutes to collect their personal belongings.

They have already accessed the Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS), a system used by IRS employees to retrieve account information. Musk software engineer Gavin Kliger is among those accessing the data. Additionally, 15,000 IRS employees are expected to be fired this coming week.
