Republicans shut down the government to gut healthcare and bankroll Trump’s illegal power grab. We must hold the GOP accountable for causing chaos just to appease a wannabe king. app.sosha.ai/s/sVX1JFbP

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Neither Donald Trump nor Elon Musk has the authority to dissolve USAID. Shutting it down is dangerous and must be stopped. Not only will this deteriorate U.S. leadership globally, it makes it much more likely that future disease outbreaks will reach our shores.

I do think State AGs need to start suing Musk personally over what he is attempting to do to their constituents and the breach of contracts that will come for their businesses. It should not be a single suit but many coming from states and localities across the US. bsky.app/profile/theb...
