She persisted. 💪🏼 Come here for some fresh air when Twit-world is too much, when I can even bear it there. I'm not going to stop fighting for equality, progression, & whatever is left of democracy once the smoke clears.

Tonight’s outdoor White House UFC fight on Trump’s 80th birthday could be plagued by torrential rain, 30mph winds, F-list celebrities, and clouds of mosquitos. YOU LOVE TO SEE IT.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

This is why a debate about the facts always benefits Trump/Vance. All the support happened under Biden, and Trump halted it for a year. They wanted Zelensky to thank Trump for Trump's concerted effort to reward Putin for raping his way into Ukraine. The correct response is "Fuck you vm for that."

For those new here, I spent last year writing for @newrepublic.com about an extremist tech ideology. It calls for tech elites to control governments and/or create new ones. It seeks to dismantle nations and destroy democracy. Some call it the "Network State," and it may now seem familiar to you 🧵
From New Republic piece by Gil Duran: Vance has not advocated for realms—yet—but some of his most extreme ideas echo Yarvin. They’re both fond of political purges, for instance. In a 2021 podcast interview, Vance was asked how to get liberals out of government institutions. “De-Nazification, De-Baathification,” he replied. “I tend to think that we should seize the institutions of the left. And turn them against the left. We need like a de-Baathification program, a de-woke-ification program.”

He predicted Trump would run again and win, then offered some advice: “I think that what Trump should do, if I was giving him one piece of advice: Fire every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people.” He added that Trump should defy any court orders that tried to halt this partisan purge of the civil service.

Rep Buddy Carter (R-GA) drops new legislation to rename Greenland, an autonomous territory part of another country that we have no claim to or authority over. The name he came up with: Red, White, and Blueland. At least he used an Oxford comma. 🤦🏻‍♀️

🚨 CALL TO ACTION THREAD: Demand Accountability! 🚨 1️⃣ Elon Musk & his employees have illegally taken over OPM, Treasury, & critical payment systems like Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid. This is unconstitutional. Call your State Attorney General & urge them to prosecute. Script in image & thread
Call Script to State Attorneys General
Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I am a concerned citizen calling from [Your State].
I am calling to urge [State Attorney General's Name] to take immediate action against Elon Musk and his employees for their illegal and unconstitutional takeover of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the U.S. Treasury, and critical citizen benefit systems like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
This unlawful seizure of government infrastructure has given Musk and his associates unauthorized access to:
Citizens' personal data
Federal employee records
Treasury operations and financial transactions
Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid payment systems
This is a direct violation of federal and state laws protecting government institutions and the private information of millions of Americans. It is also an unconstitutional power grab, as no private individual or corporation has the right to control or override the financial and security functions of the U.S. government. DOGE is not a fourth branch of government.
I demand that the State Attorney General use their full authority to investigate and criminally prosecute Elon Musk and his employees for these illegal actions. This is not just a federal issue-state laws protecting residents' privacy, financial security, and data integrity have been blatantly violated.
Will the Attorney General take action to protect the rights of the people of [Your State] from this unconstitutional takeover?
I expect a prompt response and a public commitment to upholding the rule of law.
Thank you for your time.

This is why I'm concerned all the speculation of Musk and Trump parting ways won't happen anytime soon. Musk has built a PAC that's still working post-election to advance Trump's goals. They need each other.

In light of Trump's just-now pick of Mehmet Oz to lead the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, let me remind everyone of this 2021 article in Scientific American: www.scientificamerican.com/article/dr-o...

Dr. Oz Shouldn't Be a Senator--or a Doctor
His brand of misinformation has already tarnished medicine. In the halls of Congress, he’d do much worse
