Hello #musicians of blue sky. I’m a professional musician in a tiny IL town near Aurora/naperville. Being that joy is an act of rebellion and acknowledging that making music can be, in and of itself, revolutionary, would any of you be interested in starting a community choir? Let’s discuss!

The richest man on earth, Elon Musk
is trying to kill a department, USAID, that helps the poorest people on earth
Because USAID has been investigating Musk and his Starlink company — and their ties to Vladimir Putin and Russia

I know, I've said this before, but: if Joe Biden made Selena Gomez a "special government employee," she blocked all appropriated funding for ICE and their grants/contracts, and then started posting about how DHS didn't exist, nobody would doubt that was all unconstitutional and illegal.
In response to a post on X from @maxwellfrost.bsky.social showing the effort to get into the Department of Education building this morning, Elon Musk replied, "No such department exists in the federal government"

Remember when a single senator, Tommy Tuberville, held up ALL military promotions for months and months, despite sustained opposition even from some of his Republican colleagues?
We need EVERY DEMOCRATIC SENATOR doing EVERYTHING THEY CAN to slow down and stop this administration.

Musk is attempting to destroy the federal government from the inside while admitting that he is doing so. Typically excellent summary from Heather Cox Richardson.

Let’s cut all large corporate subsidies - why does Amazon need nearly $6B, Tesla $2.8B, Apple $1.9B, Microsoft $1.3B???
There’s a savings of $12B right there…

Share if you agree!
Rep. McGovern:
"Maybe before coming after USAID, Republican should look at the billions and billions of dollars of tax breaks and subsidies they give to oligarchs like Elon Musk.
You want to save some money? Let's start there."

The media is failing abjectly in how it is framing what this administration is doing.
Has congress passed a law superseding or eliminating the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961?
Has the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional?
Then why are journalists reporting that Trump and Musk are "shutting down" USAID. They are not authorized to do so.

Gavin Kliger, Elon's DOGE hitler youth shutting down USAID, is now indirectly responsible for the deaths of thousands of children. His Instagram appears to be @gkliger. He's scrubbing his online footprint.

Spending the last few minutes calling my senators. It’s time to stop playing politics of old. I asked for them to throw sand in all the gears of the Republican agenda. The Washington switchboard number is 202-224-3121. I encourage all of you to do the same.

"No one ever thought this would happen" is dishonest and journalists not pointing that out are doing you all a disservice. Many people said word for word this would happen. You just didn't respect those people. And you need to be honest instead of the feigned surprise for sympathy.
