Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

I was thinking about the regional rail system that Nashville could have had if it had the political will and vision 25 years ago. Instead, it only has one route, and it's the least ridden train in the country for obvious reasons.

Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social

Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

Exactly why @bsky.app is so important. Engaging on this platform is important. As is growing this platform.

Which one of these men joins Tom Anderson and MySoace in the annals of history first ?

It is not free speech when Trump aligned oligarchs have their thumbs on the algorithms of all the social media apps.

Elon’s salute is obscene and entirely unsurprising.

The silence about it from major outlets on the other hand is genuinely disturbing.

The TikTok ban was a stunt to suck up to Trump. Meta is giving him what he wants. X is owned by the administration. Companies that haven’t donated to an inaugural fund in 20 years are shoveling money.

I’m scared man. As a 22 year old, the authoritarian is winning. I don’t want to lose America.

They shut down their own app for a day, then turned it back on thanking Trump. What an obvious scam this was. Disgusting on the part of the Tik Tok owners, Trump, and all his sycophants who reversed their positions on it one second after he did for no reason other than he did.
