Crockett: When you're at war, you’re not worried about your outfit. If he was walking around in the fanciest suits, I'm sure that they would accuse him of taking our dollars and spending it on his wardrobe

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

The meeting comes as Elon Musk’s SpaceX is fighting in federal court against the National Labor Relations Board, alleging the board’s makeup is unconstitutional.

The U.S. Department of Labor is organizing a protest. Elon Musk’s staff will be present at the Frances Perkins Building in Washington, D.C., today at 4 p.m. It was mentioned that staff should plan to stay late after the 4 p.m. meeting to assist with setting up Elon Musk staffers into their systems.

Think firing the entire federal workforce will save America money?

Federal civilian employees account for just 4% of the federal budget. Even if someone like Musk—or any president—fired all of us, it wouldn’t make much of a dent in government spending. Don’t fall for it.

Suggestion to Americans: If you used a current bank account with funds on a recent tax return, it may be wise to contact your bank and request a change. Account and routing numbers are accessible, and Elon Musk’s staff have access to this information. Stay safe and protect your assets.

I don’t know what is wrong with Senate Dems that they seem hellbent on putting through Republican nominees in the middle of a coup.

The wholesale theft of OPM federal employee data and breach of Treasury funds is a constitutional crisis.

Honestly, I’d start protesting Senate Dem offices.
Left a v/m for Senator Andy Kim expressing my frustration that Senate Dems won't take up their available tools:

1️⃣ Oppose all nominees until OMB reverses the freeze
2️⃣ Deny Unanimous Consent to slow Senate proceedings
3️⃣ Vote no on all cloture.
4️⃣ Force Quorum Calls at every opportunity

Don't let Trump spin you, he backed down on the Mexican tariffs when the market dropped out, GOP electeds finding a backbone to complain, and the WSJ calling it the "dumbest trade war in history".

Trump blinked and embarrassed himself plain and simple.

Giving access to SSNs, other data on government employees to non-employees like Musk is a violation of 5 USC 552a, and carries with it a penalty of $1000 per person whose data was accessed. We are building a case. Govt employees who want to participate should contact me directly

Trump wants to install political cronies to deliver for his billionaire friends at the expense of working people — a recipe for corruption.
