TEXAS: @RepKeithSelf’s turn

They have no answer for what the oligarchs are doing to America.

Tesla dealerships are prime locations for bold, high-visibility protests against the Trump-Musk coup. These events are already happening nationwide, with more planned each day: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent.

“It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.

“A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.”

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

SCOOP: DOGE has started gutting a key US technology agency. At least dozens of workers at the Technology Transformation Service were fired on Wednesday, a day after similar sudden cuts at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Goldman: "My Republican colleagues are so weak and afraid of Donald Trump that they're willing to undermine their own constitutional authority just to please them. You're giving away your own power in fealty to Donald Trump."

This has serious consequences for all media in our nation. If Trump is able to wield his power and influence to silence outlets, it will have a chilling effect on anyone who would consider reporting facts that the president disagrees with.

Tell Paramount and CBS to fight Trump’s meritless lawsuit.

Like the authoritarians who came before him, Trump has targeted the free press. Now he’s using meritless lawsuits and the influence of the presidency to intimidate news outlets that publish facts he dislikes. ABC already settled a $15 million suit and Paramount (CBS’ parent company) could be next.

Jacobs: It's so funny to me that my colleagues on the other side spent 30 minutes talking about how we don't want unelected bureaucrats making these rules when they're literally allowing a unelected Elon Musk run roughshod over congress' power of the purse

NEW: A look at the study RFK Jr. cited to suggest vaccines cause autism. Mainstream journals rejected it. So the author turned to Andrew Wakefield, who sparked the vaccines-cause-autism furor. w/ @by-cjewett.bsky.social

Conflict of interest? The State Department’s procurement forecast lists Tesla as the recipient of the largest expected contract, with Marco Rubio’s department planning to purchase $400 million worth of “Armored Tesla” vehicles.

Breaking News: The Senate confirmed Russell Vought to lead the Office of Management and Budget, putting in place a Project 2025 architect.

Every Republican in the Senate just voted to confirm Russell Vought. We’re going to hold them accountable for every piece of the Project 2025 agenda he implements and all the harm it causes to the families they’re supposed to represent.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

I have news for you - we aren’t taking over Gaza.

But the media and the chattering class will focus on it for a few days and Trump will have succeeded in distracting everyone from the real story - the billionaires seizing government to steal from regular people.
