We need a group of lawyers who are willing to take every lawsuit from every fired federal employee to the max. Bury this admin in lawsuits

Lawsuits? Are you clueless on what is going on, Adam? That method has gotten us nowhere. Especially with them speed running the total collapse of our government. We need ACTION from representatives that love their country enough to lead the charge.

That is not true that this method has gotten us nowhere. A judge stopped the freeze they tried to pull last week. It is one of the useful actions to take. Of course we need senate and reps to take action. Besides Lisa Murkowski and sometimes Susan Collin’s, I’m hard pressed to find one.

Please tell me how they have stopped or froze anything when this administration has shown that time and time again they will just break the law anyways. Who is going to stop them when they just do it? Adam?

Any lawsuit needs to name Trump and Musk as individuals/co-defendants as well so they personally take the hit not just the government otherwise we’re going to be paying ourselves back for their transgressions

My question is how do we get out ahead of it rather than just reacting to their blatant illegal takeover? Lawsuits are fine but it’s just trying to fix it after it’s already been broken. They have to be stopped preemptively.

Great thought! One route is to start asking for the State laws to support the ideology that you want to see. There are always grassroots people lobbying the local government for better protections. There’s very limited action that we can take when we aren’t closer to the problems.

Totally agree. That post was One Route for asking for more from our representatives. Idk about you but I don’t see our congresspeople taking vocal stances against this. Another route would be to call or visit their local office and have your thoughts documented for that rep.

Protestors, Senators, and Congressional representatives, at and the media showing up the buildings they’re in—OPM, Treasury, etc. They have no legal authority to do this. “President said I could” is not legal authority to put employee and taxpayer data on private server.

What about the social security information that Elon stole? I will be contacting Sen Duckworth and the one I don't trust so much, Sen Durbin, about the theft of information by Musk and his six college age minions. The have all the payment data, social security for the whole country. Illegal!!!!!

True. But Trump cannot be prosecuted per SCOTUS, and he can pardon whomever he chooses. So it still comes down to a Congress not beholden to Dear Leader and their billionaire donors. Unfortunately not many willing to do what’s right. Who is still there who has a soul?

any mistakes are mine, but this is my assignment from HCR: to help inform other Americans that their financial data has been breached, Elon Musk has it illegally, Trump and Vance have broken the Constitution to permit Musk's seizure of protected information. Impeach immediately

As an Australian, I regularly butt heads with American gun reform opponents ridiculing Australia's gun bans back in 1996. A constant argument put forward is your 2nd Amendment and your ability to resist government oppression. Well........???

Yes, but the convicted felon has got the Supemos, aka Supreme Court judges, in his pocket. So the score may remain the same. The convicted felon 1, fired federal employees 0. This is how a fascist government works.

Lawyer response, but truly it depends. Class status would depend on the specifics for the termination. They would need to be substantially the same. Different agencies, factual differences in the termination process, and different circumstances between employees could be hard to overcome.

I don't think class is impossible. A class would likely cover some folks, even if it doesn't encompass all. I had heard a case or 2 were filed at this point o/b/o federal employees but I haven't actually seen them or know what is covered.

Then by all means, let's do nothing and see how that works out. Which lawyers got us into this crap? Here I was thinking it was the morons who voted for Trump or maybe the Republicans. Reminder: Lawyers kept Trump from overturning the election in 2020. That's why I think they just might help now.

Lawyers helped Trump complete the coup in 2024. Sure, we can only try, but the bottom line is he will have to lose popularity with his base. It's the economy. If he doesn't deliver, the emperor has no clothes.

What are the various routes to impeachment to pursue in parallel? Some of the actions of Elon & Trump are so extreme Democrats may be able to find some GOP congressmen that may start to crack realizing just how much of a 5 alarm fire it’s become. It would only take a few?

.@adamkinzinger.bsky.social Plus, what Republican in the House and what Republican in the Senate could organize a small group of their colleagues to thwart this craziness? It wouldn’t take many. Surely there are a handful who believe enough in democracy to try to save it.

This will take time. And do you expect Trusk to obey the courts? We are in a full fledge constitutional crisis. The only way this can be stopped is if congressional and Senator Rs are willing to stand against Trump.

They aren’t. Their constituents will have to suffer and start banging their reps phones24/7 non stop with , it’s us who will vote you out come midterms if you allow this bozo to continue this path. And they will as soon as they see they can’t afford life anymore.

Fighting trump through legal means will never work. Waste of money and time. Take the Mafia boss approach with him. Undermine all his operations on the ground in a way that makes him look like a fool to his followers to the point it makes them want to oust him.

Yes, it will work because the courts are still functional - esp in terms of wrongful termination. Guess what, the dummies hollowed out DOJ's civil division so who is going to fight the government's position? So ....I just don't want us taxpayers footing the bill for all these settlements that

4000 lawsuits will cripple DOJ! Lol! Pam will be too busy to do evil! The NLRB decapitated was by design! Same as the complete Public Gag order all agencies!

I completely agree with you. I’m learning we have a system that requires more engagement when things aren’t going the way we want to see them. We need to do more than vote and protest. We need to be more engaged with reps & their offices directly than with social media (No offense I’m out here too!)

Stop sending us the barrage of texts and e-mail to donate to candidates. That ship sailed when they absolutely froze seeing this shit was happening. Texts and e-mails to donate to litigation? I’m there

I still think this is an opportunity to bring a significant show of legal force against this administration. We need as many individual suits as possible. The government would request (and a judge would likely grant) class status, but we would need to find a way to avoid that.

We need to do them individually. It’s the best way to guarantee wins and throw sand in the gears on top of bigger class action suits and cases for things like birthright citizenship. It needs to be minute by minute more cases against them so they are flooded like they flooded the zone with EOs

Bowser is Not a Gov but a Mayor. DC is Not a State. Frankly I'm not certain who can instantly deal with the Madness of Trump at #USAID + #DOJ + #FBI except if the F*CKING #GOP Stop Their Enabling And #impeachTrump & #VP Plus Kick Out #InsurrectionistMike! And #ArrestElon...

You're not wrong about either but, that doesn't mean they wouldn't follow the felonious anointed maga bastard god's orders. Plus he could federalize them and they couldn't legally follow a governor's orders. Just my opinion but, it seem a little foolish to put faith in any gov't entity these days

Yes, please. We also need Elon’s hand out of our $$ cookie jar, URGENTLY!!! How do we do that? More lawyers? If so, lawyers, please also help with that without delay.

Trump doesn't care. SCOTUS gave Trump get out of jail free card. Trump has judges in his pocket. Trump's made a fortune on frivolous lawsuits and settlements. It's not his 💰 so he doesn't care. He's armed the DOJ to do his bidding.

You really, really think lawsuits are going to make one bit of difference? You think these sick asses give a fuck about lawsuits? C'mon, how did the lawsuits against thefwump personally affect him? He has cackled in their face.

Didn’t you vote for everythig trump the first time he was in office? Lawsuits are not going to do a thing and we don’t have time for them. Trump is a traitor and should have been treated as such.

I tried to contact the Colorado ACLU however their voice response implied that they would not be taking on a case of this nature. I've seen others syaing their states ACLU successfully however no follow up. The other suggestion was the state AG for the state you live in, NY and Letita James (sp?)

I feel you are the only one that really cares about our country 😔 I don't feel it from democrats nor Republicans.. and I thank you so much for standing up to this tyranny authoritarian regime.. I don't see anyone doing much of what you are doing within the democratic and Republican party 😭 💔

Adam: what needs to happen to reign in Musk? Do we need to pass laws to limit access of non-elected, unaffiliated actors from gaining access to essential levers of govt? It feels like Congress is watching him dismantle our system. Who do I call, who can I organize to stop him? Trump doesn’t care.

Today I used 5calls.org to call my two Colorado Senators (Bennet and Hickenlooper) and my Rep (Degette). I got two live human beings and left one voicemail. 5calls.org will give you their phone numbers and a script once you have entered your zip code and selected a topic from a list. So easy!

I hav my reps on speed dial but when I called their DC numbers today the lines were breaking up so badly I sent emails instead. I’m thinking -and I get this is crazy- are Musk’s satellites creating this phone line interference?

Scary thought. It's all a dystopian nightmare at this point, but I wouldn't put it past him. I have been wondering why he's been so eager to give away free Starlinks to people affected in disasters. It's not out of the kindness of his heart. Having his tech embedded in our daily lives is scary.

That sounds great! But, we all know how slow the wheels of justice turn so, in the meantime, who would be watching out for our safety? Trump wants them all GONE! Like yesterday!

We can all do something even with little training. For years the right wing has been in our faces. I recommend visiting anywhere they congregate and treating it the way they treated abortion clinics. Then visiting our elected representatives until they break.

Remember, trump went into office in 2016 with 3500 lawsuits. He uses the courts. We need to use the courts and do it longer, stronger, more persistently. We saw how he used the courts with his charges ... he stalls. We need lawyers who will throw down the gauntlet.

Do you really think that will stop them? Your government has been taken over by a Dictator and his Oligarchs. They are systematically breaking your system on checks and balances. Act quickly before there is no hope.

Where are the Democrats? Adam Kinzinger was an Illinois Congressman, he works for the people. He will work with them Dems because somebody isn’t get the danger we are in or have no idea what to do

Hi! Thank you so much for the follow! We are trying help organize people to leave X and come to Bsky. It seems like dislike of Musk and X is high here, and if we all work together, there is a lot we could accomplish. Any feedback and support would be much appreciated! TwitterExodus.org
