Congrats on becoming a permanent resident!

Now wait in a Home Affairs queue that doesn’t move for 4 hours (and counting…).

I guess this is a kind of initiation.

A thread.

It's intensifying.

Quickly.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

New Executive Order just dropped, and this one hits different. It puts the architect of Project 2025 in direct control of the Federal Election Commission + requires FEC follow White House directives.

States must #VerifyTheVote or fair 2026 midterms will become a pipedream.

Can a rugby person explain to me why the “warning” doesn’t reset? Yellow card for every penalty seems excessive…

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t the billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts, but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

We as a country will save nothing. Federal employee salaries make up just 4% of the budget—roughly $271 billion. So even if every federal worker were fired, that’s the maximum you’d save. Meanwhile, the U.S. House GOP has released a budget that raises the debt limit by $4 trillion.

From my Rep Tom McClintock’s website: “The boss hires a new accountant - Elon Musk. The accountant says, ‘Joe, let’s see your expense account records.’ and suddenly, it’s a threat to democracy and a constitutional crisis. A threat that democracy?”

Yup. Musk can’t be compared to a “new accountant”.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.

How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65

Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

You cannot make this up.

DOGE's crusade isn't about government efficiency. It's about making Elon Musk richer at your expense.
🚨BREAKING: While targeting federal education contracts, Elon Musk just scored a new deal for more government cash, according to documents reviewed by The Lever.

The new "supplemental agreement" adds millions to SpaceX's already huge $3.9 billion deal.

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.

Highly recommend!
Welcome to the resistance! Over 1 million brave souls have answered the call this week. The Empire—Trump’s administration and Musk—may believe its grip is unbreakable, but every day, more join our ranks. We’ve always known—tomorrow, there will be more of us.
