WATCH: ProPublica is keeping a list of who works for DOGE, and we recently added 20 names to our tracker, bringing the total to 66.

We’ve also been reporting on who is in charge. Is it Elon Musk and his lieutenants, or is it an obscure bureaucrat named Amy Gleason?

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

As troubled waters churn and seem to rise, with no clear bridge in sight, sometimes music is all we have to keep us strong and ready to find our passage through the chaos.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

As DJT enacts his policies of #PunchingDown on the most vulnerable among us to weaken the country and destabilize anyone who might challenge his power grabs I am most saddened knowing that his followers have been hoodwinked to believe that they are “winning” when they see others losing.

The #MassDeportation is really just a front for #MassIncarceration.

The US economy cannot function without low-wage labor. Prepare for the #MassExpansion of prisoner labor forces, stocked by ICE raids, rented out to corporations for slave-labor prices, all subsidized by our tax dollars.

Never forget that McConnell could have put an end to this bulls**t four years ago, including a penalty that would have prohibited Trump from ever holding public office again.

We’re losing democracy to a bunch of folks with #DaddyIssues. When folks don’t do their own shadow work, they cast their shadows on others, and despise any light that would reveal what they are afraid to see in themselves. #TheEraofNarcissisticSupervillains.

We hear the glib phrase "late-stage capitalism" often. Here is late-stage capitalism as fascism by Mussolini's definition: the merger of state and (utterly unfettered) business.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.

To those flabbergasted & shocked by this week, please remember our country won't change until millions of apathetic people feel what you're feeling right now.

It will take TIME. Don't lose yourself in the interim. Find ways to feel safe, feel joy, love a lot.

Build a stoic calm amidst the chaos. 🕊

This is the SEMINAL POLITICAL PODCAST of 2025. Podcasts like this are EXACTLY how young men will consume and understand politics.

Dem strategists should study every single second of it and recognize this is their new reality for reaching young men. Guaranteed.

This Cybertruck did not crash. It made a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture that, in the moment, might have been misinterpreted as a crash, but we should not rush to judgement.
