WTF?!? Elon Musk reposted this on X before quietly deleting it: “Stalin, Mao, and Hitler didn’t murder millions of people. Their public sector employees did.”

ProPublica looked into science grants that Ted Cruz's team flagged as "radical" and "neo-Marxist" and, uh. This would be good comedy if it didn't matter so much www.propublica.org/article/ted-...

"Developing a device that could treat severe bleeding. It seems to have caught the committee’s attention for using the words “victims” — as in gunshot victims — and “trauma.”
Creating biosensors to detect infectious diseases. The grant appears to have been tagged for the repeated use of “POC,” an acronym often used for “people of color” but in this context meaning “point of care” — that is, the place where people receive medical treatment — and “barrier,” referring to a part of the biosensor itself.
Designing eye-tracking technology for diagnosing and treating concussions. It appears to have gotten flagged for referencing “traumatic” brain injuries and the “status,” meaning the condition, of patients."

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.

We need to change our approach. This is a great framework

how we got here
The Right Uses Messaging as
a Weapon—We Must Fight Back
For decades, Far Right Extremists have dominated the
conversation. Progressives have passion, policies, and the
numbers—but we’ve been playing defense for too long.
The Problem:
Far Right Extremists use simple, emotional
messaging—division is the goal.
They define the media narrative
quickly, forcing us to be reactive.
They invest in messaging infrastructure,
from think tanks to social media influencers.
The Lesson: The Extreme Right didn’t win overnight.
They spent decades building think tanks, funding media,
and training messengers to shape public opinion.
It’s time we do the same.

how we start
Messaging That Wins— A Four-Step Plan
CREATE
Craft messaging that is simple, emotional, and engaging. No jargon.
No policy-speak. If it can’t fit on a bumper sticker, it’s too complicated.
EQUIP
Equip activists, leaders, and influencers with strong messaging skills.
Every progressive should be able to confidently communicate our
ideas in a way that excites people.
FRAME
Set the narrative early—and stop waiting for fairness. Far Right
Extremists create simple, emotional messages and repeat them
relentlessly. We must define the real threats (TheHoarding Class,
Extreme Christian Nationalists) first—using facts, but framing them in
ways that resonate with real people.
EXPOSE
Shut down misinformation fast. Don’t repeat misinformation —provide
facts from reputable sources that contradict viral misinformation.
Messaging is power. Let’s use it.

The sheriff got his cell phone to take video as 3 unmarked "security" assaulted her. He felt this was justified because she'd been "warned" to keep quiet. If you want to know what you would have done in 30s Germany, consider how you'll respond when you see something like this unfold in front of you.

In many ways it's fitting that the showdown between monarchy and democracy ends up being over NYC congestion pricing. Cities are where the power of kings were first challenged, and few things are more fundamental to government than control of public space. The cameras are staying on!

A cartoon with a sign that looks like a classic NYC no parking sign but is modified to say "No King Any Time", above a cartoon showing a cybertruck with a crown on it running over speed bumps and sawhorse barricades labeled Congress, Executive Branch, and Courts. It is stopped in front of bollards with a Congestion Pricing sign above it. In the background on the left is the Washington DC skyline with tire tracks coming out of a building. On the right behind the congestion pricing sign are the Statue of Liberty in front of the Jersey City skyline, an NYC walkup apartment with a bodega, people on bikes and walking, the Manhattan skyline, a subway train, and a bus in a bus only lane, and Pizza Rat.

Government funding runs out on March 14. Republicans can’t pass a bill alone, so Democrats have real leverage here. We’re calling on Democrats to commit to withholding their votes and insist on an end to the Trump-Musk coup rampaging across the government.

House Democrats Have Leverage—
If They Use It
Republicans Can't Pass a Budget Without Democrats: Any funding bill that passes the Senate must clear the 60-vote filibuster, meaning Senate Republicans will be forced to compromise with Democrats. That bill will not be the full MAGA wishlist-it will be a negotiated deal.
And here's the problem for House Republicans: as soon as the bill looks even remotely reasonable, hardline MAGA extremists will revolt. The House Freedom Caucus will refuse to vote for anything that doesn't include extreme cuts and right-wing poison pills.
That means House Republicans' razor-thin 218-215 majority won't be enough to pass a budget on their own. If just three Republicans defect, the bill dies. Their chaos and dysfunction have already divided them.
Democrats must not bail them out. Republicans will need Democratic votes to pass a budget, and that gives Democrats enormous leverage.
The GOP Civil War is a Gift-Exploit It: The House GOP is eating itself alive. The far-right Freedom Caucus is demanding draconian cuts, while vulnerable Republicans fear the backlash of a shutdown. Demoerats should let them fight and use it to extract real concessions.
The Shutdown Deadline is the GOP's Problem to Solve: Government funding runs out on March 14. If the
GOP can't pass a bill, they own the shutdown. Instead of letting Republicans ram through a terrible deal, Democrats should be demanding a budget that stops MAGA looting and protects working families.
Trump and His Billionaire Buddies Want to Steal the Budget: Trump and his inner circle, led by Russ Vought, are openly planning to override federal spending decisions, funnel cash to their allies, and slash social programs. If the budget doesn't include safeguards-real, meaningful, and enforceable safeguards— they will rob the country blind.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.
