Republicans have been out to gut Social Security for years because it’s one of the most popular and successful programs ever created. Those who claim to care about the debt while pushing for trillions in tax cuts for the rich and corporations don't really care about the debt.

The post contains a political cartoon titled "Topple the dominos," depicting a row of dominoes labeled from bottom to top as "Tesla," "Elon," "Trump," "Republicans," and "Russians." The Tesla domino is shown being pushed over by a crowd of small figures holding signs that say "FUCK TRUMP," "FUCK ELON," and "FUCK NAZIS," symbolizing a chain reaction leading to the fall of the subsequent dominos.

Elon Musk has no authority to send emails to federal workers asking them to justify their jobs (days after he wields a chainsaw on a stage...hello?) He has no authority to fire or threaten anyone. Call your reps and tell them Elon Musk must be fired. 202-224-3121

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

House Republicans released a draft budget that aims to cut $2 trillion in spending. The programs impacted could include Medicaid, SNAP, and education programs. Why the cuts? To finance another round of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It's reverse Robin Hood.

If fraud was found, they took immediate action and made all information publicly available—until they were all fired by Musk. This administration simply has different spending priorities than the last, and labeling all of it as fraud or corruption is not only misleading but also dangerous.

He’s calling people who receive federal assistance “parasites” while taking $8 million a day from U.S. taxpayers—plus another $400 million on the way for armored Teslas. What a hypocrite. This administration is full of terrible people.

Someone else said it, but this should be the biggest scandal in American history-Watergate on steroids and speed. If this is true, the president is tearing through the DoJ to find a lawyer to break the law. No ambiguity about wasteful spending or administrative procedures-just naked lawlessness.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

Why aren’t we looking into corporate welfare? In the United States, it costs taxpayers billions each year, with estimates ranging from $92 billion to $100 billion annually. Meanwhile, USAID costs only $40 billion. Hmmm… doesn’t add up.

I have colleagues in Silver Spring (NOAA HQ) who, let's just say "witnessed" Elon's team at facility and overheard them at various times. Apparently there was a conversation with "giggles" about plans to cancel non-SpaceX launch contracts thru NASA citing "inefficiency". That's pretty wild stuff.
