“People are dying because of this.” AOC called out Elon Musk for ordering Republicans to gut Medicaid—directly worsening the fentanyl crisis. Experts confirm: cutting Medicaid means more overdoses. When billionaires dictate policy, working people pay the price.

The fact that we can always make gov’t more efficient doesn’t mean that Elon Musk, someone with conflicts of interest everywhere you look, should be running the show. Trump could have started with the inspectors general, whose job that is, but instead of empowering them, he fired them.

This is EXACTLY what happened in December in the standoff over the funding bill. It’s because Musk is far far vigorous and wily and potent than Trump is.
something that stands out for me at the almost-2.5-week mark is that Musk priorities are actually happening and Trump priorities are not.

The only barrier between you and the realization of your deepest desires is the act of taking the first step, the only thing stopping you from achieving your dreams is the will to act, so let it take you.

Real change comes from within If one is changing only to please one's partner or to maintain the relationship the change cannot be sustainable However if they are motivated to change themselves the change is likely to last longer.

Following a White House anti-DEI order, the National Cryptologic Museum covered up exhibits of women and people of color in its Hall of Honor. The NSA reversed course after former employees mobilized.

A federal court just blocked Elon Musk from interfering with the federal government’s payments system.
There is power in fighting back. We won’t let up until this block is permanent.

We all know voters wanted more pregnancy harassment in the work place.
❕The EEOC has removed language from their website that states that sexual harassment includes harassment regarding sexual orientation, gender identity, or pregnancy.
This suggests that harassment for any of those reason are no longer considered sex discrimination within the workplace
