Trump is forcing Americans who are seeking their earned benefits to sign up for Elon Musk's app.
Pure corruption.

Texas Republicans are trying to revive a 100-year-old abortion ban that would allow them to prosecute abortion funds and maybe even patients.
Just as bad, they've tricked Democrats and doctors into supporting the legislation

very helpful to democrats that one of the most unpopular people in american politics is front in center in the administration, allowing them to make the very easy case that you should vote for democrats to check elon musk.
The Democrat who just flipped a very Trumpy seat in Pennsylvania’s Senate made opposition to Elon Musk front and center in his campaign.

This segment from @maryannefranks.bsky.social is an incredibly tight argument that captures the breadth of the Trump assault on free speech perfectly and in less than a minute.
Spread it far and wide.

WOW. Watch a constitutional law expert completely DEBUNK Republicans’ censorship crusade, while articulating exactly how Donald Trump is threatening freedom of speech. 🔥

if you just scan the headline — or if you’re just uncurious — you’ll think this is a “trump bad” piece but if you read it you’ll find that it is my attempt to explain what makes something “anti-constitutional” and why that is distinct from an “unconstitutional” act.

They're moving to classify constitutionally protected speech as terrorism. This is a five alarm fire.

some guy in a black mask shoves a journalist? weeks worth of news reports on the new radical left. Members of Elon Musk's DOGE team have ties to a network of Nazi terrorists who trade child porn? Can't report on that, best wait to see if anything develops.

New, from me: Trump and Musk are engaged in a broad-based downsizing of government, using that downsizing to selectively target their enemies, while expanding their political power by trading exceptions to the downsizing.
