the government's job isn't to ruthlessly maximize shareholder value, it's to make sure the lights stay on *no matter what* "move fast, break things" is great when you're making a burrito delivery app, not so great when you are the load-bearing institution for the entire planet

Thanks to DOGE, millions of Americans have just lost their ability to file taxes online for free. Now they must use third party paid services like Turbo Tax. This is 0% about inefficiency and 100% about ripping you off.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

Anonymous Anonymous Operations That's what people do not understand. There is no free speech on this platform. It is a social platform with the richest man on paper in charge and he lies about being a Good gamer. If he lies about something as mundane as computer games, then why would anyone trust him on

Call it what it is.

“I don’t think the United States Senate should vote for a single nominee until this is over!” - Chris Murphy 🟧

One of those clips where you have to make sure you're not hallucinating. Donald Trump says Palestinians ought not be allowed to return to Gaza because "why would they want to return? That place has been hell" — next to the grinning man who made it hell.

Defund Musk. He should survive without massive government contracts.

Simultaneously Trump is forcing migrants into a concentration camp in Cuba and forcing Palestinians out of their homes in Gaza. Both of these acts violate Constitutional and International Law.

When Trump says Gaza is uninhabitable, it’s because Biden literally sent the bombs to make it so. The sooner we recognize this and fix it instead of carrying any more water for Biden‘s immoral policy that literally paved the way for Trump the better. 5/

Kinda wish the Democrats would treat this authoritarian takeover like it was a campus protest.

ALLISON: I'm a black woman in this country... I have a law degree, a masters and two bachelor's, probably more education that all of y'all added up. And I have always been the LEAST PAID person on payroll everywhere I've worked.

Sen. DURBIN on Kash Patel’s problematic FBI nomination: Kash Patel published a book detailing his politics. “It’s filled with grievances, filled with conspiracy theories, and filled with information about how he sided with the January 6th rioters against the police.”

NEW: Trump nominee Kash Patel disclosed he’s receiving $1 million-$5 million in shares of a Cayman Islands holding company directly tied to a Chinese corporation the Senate & a pro-Trump nonprofit accuse of “slave labor.” Patel says he won’t divest. (cont’d)

Why are 'christians' out here celebrating the richest man on the planet shutting down programs that help the poor????

Affirmative action & DEI have allowed white women to achieve more economic independence. Rolling back these policies is part of a broader effort to push liberal white women, back into traditional gender roles, making them more dependent on white men and conservative institutions.

They took civics out of the curriculum & stopped teaching kids how to navigate govt systems, how laws are passed, how courts operate, how public funds are allocated. Because if you don’t understand power, you can’t question it. And if you can’t question it, you can’t fight it.

Americans have been brutalized into submission. Look at how the endless march of mass shootings, climate disasters, police killings, voter suppression, and economic collapse has created a population suffering from collective trauma.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.
