"A second Trump term is working to turn America back into pre-civil rights America during the Jim Crow era. That’s what we’re seeing with a lot of these policies," says Chris Scott, a Democratic strategist.

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.

We can’t let a mega rich dude shut down the main foreign aid program created and funded by Congress just because he doesn’t like it and has our president by the balls

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

Musk and his staff at X and other silicone valley CEO’s now have access to the US treasury payments system. This will be a massive breach of privacy and confidentiality and a massive conflict of interest given Musk has access to data of his competitors. Gift article www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

🚨 BREAKING

We are getting reports of a run on eggs at Costco locations throughout the country.

Sources describe scenes of pandemonium with people running around the store to stock up on supplies, similar to the beginning of COVID.

A reminder: in the past, when a singer's mic cut out during the U.S. National Anthem at a hockey game in Canada, the entire arena stepped in, singing every single word of the Star Spangled Banner together.

Tonight, thanks to Trump, Canada is booing during the National Anthem.

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

The one thing I keep thinking about is that we know how to trigger Trump’s narcissistic discard phase.

He needs to be made to feel like Elon is a threat to him— like people think Trump is just a puppet and Elon is really in charge and Trump is weak as a result.

We should try to do that.
