The economy is in chaos, the Defense Dept. is trying to cover up leaking war plans in a group chat, and Trump & Musk are dismantling vital programs. What is the GOP using precious Floor time on this week? Repealing refrigerator efficiency standards. You can’t make this up. The GOP is out of touch.

This is the first of what I think are going to be A LOT of primary challenges along these lines.

This administration is incompetent and endangering our troops. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared war plans in an encrypted chat—including a journalist—two hours before strikes on the Houthis in Yemen, the White House confirmed.

Has Howard Lutnick done anything of value as Commerce Secretary ?

Trump cabinet billionaire insults Social Security seniors who need their checks Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick suggested that older Americans could be “fraudsters” if they complained about not receiving their Social Security checks. flip.it/leSD2Z 1/5 Americans receive social security benefits.

Americans are going hungry under Trump. Food banks across the country — already strained by deep cuts to locally grown food programs — the U.S. Department of Agriculture is canceling $500 million in expected food deliveries, further disrupting aid as demand continues to grow.

President Donald Trump told reporters he did not sign the controversial proclamation invoking the Alien Enemies Act to quickly deport migrants his administration says are violent gang members from Venezuela. Now many are wondering what did happen.

wapo.stIf Trump didn’t sign the Alien Enemies Act proclamation, who — or what — did?Did Trump misspeak? Is he trying to deflect a decision under heavy legal scrutiny onto Secretary of State Marco Rubio?

Please read and share. Musk is attempting to blame Ukraine for the X cyberattack, but word has already spread that it was a false flag. What is a false flag? A false flag operation is an act committed to disguise the actual source of responsibility and shift blame onto another party.

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., ruled that DOGE is subject to government transparency laws, allowing the public to access government records—a legal defeat for the White House, which had designated DOGE as an office exempt from open records laws.

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

In a few short weeks, President Trump has severely damaged the government’s ability to fight climate change, upending American environmental policy with moves that could have lasting implications for the country, and the planet.

Today, around ten thousand people gathered at Tesla showrooms across 50 states and internationally to protest Elon Musk (DOGE). We encourage everyone to join again next Saturday, March 8th, with more events planned.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

Follow the money

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

A federal judge in Maryland issued a temporary restraining order on Monday, blocking members of Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency team and anyone “working on the DOGE agenda at the Department of Education” from accessing sensitive data until March 10.

Thanks for posting here Chris. How do you think his peers and people that report to him will respond ? And if I’m asking this wrong, please correct me, but if he makes a ridiculous decision to bring charges, which court is it appealed to if he wins the case ? All insights welcome

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social

This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this. The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".

Follow the money... hey MuskRAT.. what was the crash rating on that stainless garbage can?

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is the latest federal agency to be hit with DOGE layoffs. That's the same agency that has investigated crashes involving Tesla's self-driving cars. This was never about "efficiency."

but was it fake?

The New York Times@nytimes.com

A fake video of President Trump sucking the toes of Elon Musk briefly appeared on monitors at the Washington, D.C., headquarters of the Department of Housing and Urban Development on Monday, according to department employees and others familiar with what transpired.
