On a daily basis, I marvel at how many people in putative positions of power are willing to help obliterate American democracy. The US has faced a series of very easy moral tests in the past decade and it’s staggering how often people in once-respected positions have failed.

❗❗ALL HANDS ON DECK ❗❗

Call these Senators TODAY. Demand they vote NO on both Cloture and the disastrous GOP CR funding bill.

Don't give the Musk/Trump Administration a BLANK CHECK to continue pillaging and dismantling our government.

LFG! ✊

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.

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.

I feel like there isn’t enough coverage of this here on BlueSky. I know it’s easy to get overwhelmed and skip what seems like more of the same, but this is unprecedented.

We cannot comply in advance. This is blatantly unconstitutional.

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority.

Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness.

“Elon Musk Has Plunged America Into a Constitutional Crisis. He Must Be Stopped.”

Powerful and much-needed appraisal from Will Stancil of the meaning of, and fallout from, this weekend’s takeover of the Treasury and USAID by Musk and his minions.
Elon Musk Has Plunged America Into a Constitutional Crisis. He Must Be Stopped.
The world’s richest man, unelected and unvetted, has taken physical control of US government departments, funding, and secrets.

It was a full-on Nazi salute and he did it twice in succession, once for the crowd in front, once behind. There was no ambiguity, no need for parsing or interpretation.

He has shown you what he is. Believe him.

You're laughing, Darth Vader is dead and you're laughing. He had two kids and his wife died in child birth, yes he oversaw the literal destruction of an entire planet, I mean he legit blew it up into a million pieces, but he was a family man first and foremost.
