BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

“You’re on the wrong side of history. You should be standing here with us… you took an oath to the constitution, not the fascists in the White House— he’s laughing at you… You’re tough behind your masks & fatigues, but how do you feel on the inside?”

Schumer’s decision is an unconscionable surrender that shows he does not have what it takes to meet this moment, and the charade he pulled yesterday makes it even worse. Time for new leadership in the Democratic Party.

A Ketamine-fueled psychopathic goober has complete control over all of our nation’s money. All your tax dollars. The social security money that you earned and paid in, so that you can have it back. The money for clean air, food, & water. The money for medical cures, highways, and safe air travel…

It seems clear to me that Musk also now has the power to alter or delete financial information as he pleases. When your social security checks either cease coming ("we have no record that you ever contributed anything") or the amounts are severely reduced, good luck getting the amounts corrected.

Several conversations today w people in the key executive departments. And while the particulars are hard to pin down my impression is that the Musk take over stuff is considerably worse than is being presented in the press. By this I don’t necessarily things they *done* yet but the level of …

BREAKING NEWS: The Matt Gaetz file has officially been leaked: An “unknown and unauthorized third party” has gained access to depositions tied to Matt Gaetz, a source says. RT if you’re ready to see it. 🍿

Wow. Even Facebook is full of ignorant trolls. I spent an hour going back and forth with someone about why billionaires can be taxed at a higher rate than everybody else. It turns out this "person" doesn't even know what a tax bracket is. No wonder Trump won.

LA Times and Washington Post have proven themselves untrustworthy, with ownership intervening to distort info in an effort to kiss up to the most powerful figures in America. Some people at each do good work, and I have sympathy for them. But the orgs can’t be trusted, and it’ll probably get worse.

Scoop: After the LA Times published a piece about Elon Musk that carried a headline owner Patrick Soon-Shiong didn't like, a new rule was implemented: Prior to publishing opinion stories, headlines must be emailed to Soon-Shiong, where he can then choose to weigh in. www.status.news/p/los-angele...

The Economist ran this story this week. Yes...they are coming for veterans benefits. No one voted to destroy the VA or the benefits that our 15 million living veterans receive. Just 6% of Americans have served and these fuckers are coming for our hard earned benefits.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s
