Senator Cory Booker just made history with the longest filibuster everβbold, principled, and full of patriotic audacity. This is what standing up for democracy looks like. We see you, Senator. And weβre with you. πβ¨

I have a thought. How about offering to invest in Tesla IF DOGE is dismantled AND Elon gets out of the WH and politics all together? Different approach but worth it!
One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?
They didnβt feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.
Thatβs a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.
The cost of tariffs isnβt just the cost of the tariff
GOP Rep. Don Bacon: "Why is a White House official, that's not even elected, why is that person belittling the Polish foreign minister? It's not appropriate. It's not right. We need more discipline in the White House."
Carney: Canada never ever will be part of America in any way, shape, or form. We didnβt ask for this fight, but Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves.
If you were really looking for fraud at SSA, you wouldnβt need write access. You WOULD need write access if you wanted to CREATE fraud where none existed as a pretext to shut down Social Security.
The United States now playing the role that communist satellite states once played in the UN: sponsoring resolutions in its own name but on behalf of Moscow.
For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

Happy Public Schools Week!
As a former teacher, I know that public schools are not just where our kids go to learn - theyβre the center of our communities.
Thatβs why I was proud to make the largest investment in public schools in state history.
Look, if you believe in kings, then letβs be honestβyou canβt call yourself a patriot. You just canβt. You donβt get to wrap yourself in the flag of a country that was quite literally founded on rejecting a monarchy while, at the same time, wishing for one. Thatβs not how this works.
Itβs not a βtrustβ issue
Itβs an βhonestyβ issue
Elon Musk is lying about the supposed βfraudβ he claims DOGE found
Just like he lies incessantly on Twitter
It seems heβs inherently dishonest
Maybe thatβs why the only fraud discovered in connection with DOGE
Is that which Musk himself created
Damn @sanders.senate.gov. Just when I compliment you, I looked for info on the event. NONE HERE. But multiple posts on X.
WTF.
You obviously donβt care to engage. Just look at the quality of replies you get over there.
This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.
Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law
Time to do things that make him react to you.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.
So. Why canβt he and the oligarchs just experience a little bit of suffering. This feels like.. Donβt worry? Mexico will pay for the wall. They didnβt!
βAt least Russia has electionsβ
Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999.
If you like dictatorships, thatβs fine. Just admit that. Donβt insult anyoneβs intelligenceβincluding your ownβby claiming Russia has real elections.
Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.
Using AI in DOGE is leading to a ton of mistakes that people are buy as accurate calculations! What a huge fuck up it is to rely on AI without education or any knowledge about what itβs analyzing!!! Too many are over impressed with AI ! What a huge but profitable mistake!!!
How reliable is their work? AI, I have found, is not particularly reliable and you still need basic knowledge of the actual work, especially if AI goes down for any reason. It is an assist but shouldnβt be something exclusively relied upon.
DOGE IS NOT TRANSPARENT AT ALL. And some of the information is meaningless without references to evidence or methodology . Anyone can make numbers up. No substance or context. And if they find real fraud I would expect DOJ to follow up on it! They are just blowing smoke and causing chaos and damage
From an FDA probationary employee: the firings are coming from outside the agency without cause and with zero input from supervisors (as promised.) More firings expected between now and Tuesday. Do not open the termination email before you download your documents and performance evals.
The biggest cage match ever will be between Musk and Trump. Elon will try to implement AI in a manner that automates much of what Trump is now trying to control.
Trump will have no understanding of what is going on and will have to turn to the AI oligarchs to support him in this battle.
Vance is a POS and disgrace to the uniform he and my honorable father wore!! My conservative father would be appalled and ashamed of the speech he gave in Germany !
You cannot fire so many people and shutter so many agencies and services and not expect things to start to go very bad very quickly.
Our job is to highlight not only the chaos and cruelty of the firings, but also the devastating consequences.
The public must turn on this madness and soon.
The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes.
The battle will be fought over which companyβs AI will be used by the feds.
This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen
It's very peculiar that trump says he wants to root out corruption, but his Department of Justice is determined to get the corruption charges against corrupt Mayor Eric Adams dropped, so he can corruptly pursue a quid pro quo wit Adams.
The whole deal is corrupt AF.
