I did an event in IN a few weeks ago where I said that on 1/6/21 Mike Pence saved the country (for now) by being one of very very few who stood by his principles under maximum threat.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

If Musk compromises the Social Security Administration in any way, millions of Americans could miss their checks. If Elon is all about transparency, he should drop by House Oversight and tell the American people why he's messing with their social security. www.semafor.com/article/02/0...

DOGE follows longtime Musk pattern — and turns attention to Social Security Administration
There are differing views among those close to the Elon Musk-led group about exactly how far to go with cuts.

Marko Elez's reported resignation has interesting implications for Musk/DOGE control over Treasury payment data. Elez was one of only two DOGE affiliates permitted by court order to access the data, and DOJ claimed that the other (Tom Krause) had only supervised Elez's work.
ORDER
(February 6, 2025)
With the consent of the parties, the Court DEFERS RULING on the Plaintiffs' [8] Motion
for a Temporary Restraining Order and ORDERS as follows:
• The Defendants will not provide access to any payment record or payment system of
records maintained by or within the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, except that the
Defendants may provide access to any of the following people:
• Mr. Tom Krause, a Special Government Employee in the Department of the
Treasury, as needed for the performance of his duties, provided that such access to
payment records will be "read only";
• Mr. Marko Elez, a Special Government Employee in the Department of the
Treasury, as needed for the performance of his duties, provided that such access to
payment records will be "read only";
• Any person who is an employee (but not a Special Government Employee) of the
Department of the Treasury and who has a need for the record or system of records
in the performance of their duties;

It’s past time for Treasury to come clean on Musk’s takeover. People's Social Security, Medicare, and their most sensitive personal data is at risk. I'm not going to stop until I get answers.

The Republican witnesses at today’s hearing tried to blame Californians for the fires. Had to set the record straight.
Three stacked images of Rep. Ted Lieu at Judiciary Committee hearing. Top picture has text: "I've had multiple briefings from firefighters,
first responders, and fire chiefs." Middle picture has text: "None of the firefighters said it was about overregulation, or homeless people, or the Delta Smelt fish, or the timber harvest, or voter ID laws." Third image has text: "So, shame on anyone who is exploiting the pain and suffering of disaster victims to jam through partisan ideological policies."

It’s no surprise that Scott Bessent and Donald Trump want to save face and downplay the risks as Elon Musk seizes power, but the American people know better. Trump and Bessent are asking you not to believe what’s playing out right in front of your eyes.

is it good or bad that a billionaire oligarch with close ties to foreign dictators is currently downloading the most sensitive information the us federal government has about its citizens to his own private servers?

WOW, recently unearthed video of Trump's Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth BLASTING Trump for being "an armchair tough guy" and "very low substance." Be a real shame if this video went viral.
