Breaking MS NOW: Some of the Epstein docs the DOJ invited members of Congress to view are STILL redacted, despite promises otherwise. Raskin says DOJ's reading room has just four computers. It would take seven years to get through the files in the current conditions established by the DOJ.

ms.nowLawmakers say some Epstein files remain redacted despite DOJ's pledgeReps. Jamie Raskin and Jared Moskowitz told reporters key documents retained redactions despite the DOJ's pledge that members of Congress could view the full files.

I can say it publicly since I have more information not related to any projects I am working on. I've had the chance to speak with many boards and directors from different orgs throughout western washington.

HUD is missing. None of the housing or homeless service orgs seem to have heard from the department of housing and urban development in a few months. Assigned coordinators from the department that help counties reach or stay at federal compliance have been let go. Contracts have been pulled

THIS RIGHT HERE! I won’t even each Handmaids tale because it’s based on actual events of BLACK women without giving just reference.

They refuse to read Parable of the Sower cause they live for victimhood and bring the center of attention. Both are happening. Handmaids tale centers their whiteness.

Thanks to everyone who called their representatives after Democratic members voted to fund ICE. Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi said on social media that he regretted voting to fund ICE following the death of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis this past Saturday.

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it. They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

You can’t “fix” X, The Everything App by going back and posting there because the owner has this thumb on the scale of the algorithm to promote the worst ideas and people. It’s not a viable solution, you have to let it go.

Legally, Musk's involvement in the U.S. government must end by 30 May 2025, not that the Trump administration cares about the Constitution. It is possible this is all political theater. Current signals strongly suggest there is a bigger rift between Trump and Musk, and it's getting wider. 5/5

On 6 March, Trump took the first steps to curb DOGE's powers. Musk's revision of DOGE's potential fiscal impact was lost in this week's news cycle due to tariffs and trade wars. He quietly slashed the estimated savings DOGE could achieve through FY2026 by 85%, from $1000B to $150B. 4/5

The honeymoon is over. Over the last week, Trump advisor Navarro &Transportation Secretary Duffy have publicly criticized Elon Musk and/or DOGE. Musk just criticized Trump's planned NASA budget cuts, and yesterday, Trump said, "I don’t need him for anything other than I happen to like him." 1/5

#ICYMI: Speaker Mike Johnson lives in a $3.7 million D.C. townhouse with evangelical pastor Steve Berger, who has attacked the separation of church and state as “a delusional lie." Berger's project: ministering to members of Congress so that what “they learn is then translated into policy.”

It’s the headquarters of a little-known political influence project that has reached a number of powerful Republican politicians.

Our communities’ sacred lands and waters are NOT FOR SALE. That’s why we are fighting to protect our air, land and water from this reckless agenda to open them to drilling, mining, and rollbacks of critical programs that used to be bipartisan. We’ve come too far to go back.

I need more members of Congress to read or watch science-fiction/fantasy so they can recognize that this is God-Emporer behavior and that it always ends in catastrophe. Warhammer 40K, Mistborn, Star Wars, something, so they can get a clue.

Musk’s website, DOGE, leaked classified government information to the entire world. NOFURN [Not Releasable to Foreign Nationals] information on their website about the [intelligence community] headcount has prompted a scramble as people check whether their information has been accessed.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

There’s an immigrant taking people’s jobs… his name is Elon Musk. He’s snatching farms, government jobs (even those in which they manage our national security), and definitely those whose jobs are to root out fraud (inspector generals),

This asshole could have ended it all by voting to convict and remove. He can fuck off with this late stage bullshit.

Mitch McConnell: Tariffs "will drive the cost of everything up. In other words, it will be paid for by American consumers. I mean, why would you want to get in a fight with your allies over this?"
