My question is if it comes out that musk has manipulated the election for Trump and we know he did what can be done about it?

Sens. Schumer, Merkley, Murray, and Peters are calling for the resignation of OMB Director Russell Vought.

"By impounding billions of dollars … and aggressively pursuing the illegal use of pocket rescissions, Vought has done everything in his power to gut the federal government piece by piece."

The museums are being shutdown.
Are we great yet?
Everyone’s being fired.
Are we great yet?
Food is rotting in our fields.
Are we great yet?
The market’s crashing greatly.
Diseases are now running rampant.
At what point aren’t we great?
Our military’s in line at food banks.
So super great.

OUR tax dollars are being used to bail out Argentina, OUR troops are being put on the ground in Israel & OUR soil is being used by Qatar for a military base of their own.
While OUR government is shutdown.
Anyone who believes OUR so-called “president” when he says he is “America first”, is an idiot.

After Trump got his Covid shot, he chose to fire the scientists protecting the rest of us from diseases.

To all the Americans losing their jobs and farmers losing their farms, take comfort in the fact that the people in Argentina are doing great.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless.

And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.

Ty Cobb who was Trump‘s lawyer states that he thinks that Trump will use the insurrection act. This is bad news.

BREAKING: Colombian President Gustavo Petro exposes the horrifying truth behind Donald Trump's murderous strikes on boats in the Caribbean and destroys the lie that they're part of a "war against smuggling."

This is absolutely grounds for impeachment...

SAD TIRED LOSER DONALD TRUMP, WHO NOBODY LIKES, CLAIMS HE "TOOK AWAY FREE SPEECH." GUESS AGAIN, YOU FASCIST NITWIT, THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT WORKS. YOUR FAVORITE WRITER (ME!) EXERCISES HIS FREE SPEECH IN A BEAUTIFUL POST THAT NO ONE THOUGHT POSSIBLE. PLEASE READ IT HERE, THANKS —> bit.ly/4mSP3Ol

look, President Playpen can shit out all the farcical executive orders he wants, but he can’t redefine Constitutionally-protected speech, no matter how hard he tries. all this fuckery is going to end up in front of judges and grand juries — and they’ve shown time and again that they have no patience for any of Donny’s authoritarian bullshit.

none of this is normal. presidents aren’t supposed to shred the Constitution — nor are they supposed to wage war against their own people.

it’s so clear that Donny wants blood in the streets. he doing all he can to provoke clashes between protesters and National Guard troops, so he can invoke the Insurrection Act and declare martial law.

Am I reading this right? Did Trump say he took freedom of speech away?

Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 4d

Flagging Trump this afternoon:

"We took the freedom of speech away. Because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech — but what has happened is, when they burn a flag it, agitates and irritates crowds."

Most of Dem Senators did not attack Bondi yesterday as they should have. Among other things they should have said, "You're lying again, Ms. Bondi" and "That's a bald-faced lie, Ms. Bondi."

The rapid rise of authoritarianism is no place for etiquette.
