The #HandsOff protest in Culver City is HUGE—multiple thousands here (I heard multiple tens of thousands in the biggest Los Angeles protest, in DTLA). Safe & positive vibes. Cars are beeping in solidarity. Wide demographic but a LOT of older folks and a lot of concern about Medicare/Social Security.

It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.

Murphy: "Let's not pull any punches about why this is happening. Elon Musk makes billions off of his business with China. And China is cheering at this action today. There is no question that the billionaire class trying to take over our govt right now is doing it based on self-interest."

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.
Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

Calm smug above-it-all nonchalance in the face of really bad and harmful shit, in order to position yourself as the reasonable adult in the room, is in my opinion, the real virtue signaling.
