Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

The Treasury Department will make Tom Krause, a Silicon Valley executive with ties to DOGE, the head of the department that oversees the nation’s powerful payment systems after ousting the career civil servant who previously held the post.

I think it will be good to throw some bombs at this presser, Senator. Tell them how you will hold up every single piece of legislation that isn't blatantly left leaning Stall everything in committees. File so many lawsuits they won't be able to breathe under the weight of the paper

THE SPIRIT OF JEFF SMITH - The Democratic Senate has held the FLOOR ALL NIGHT - THIS "MUSK" be JUST the BEGINNING or our CONSTITUTIONAL FORM of GOVERNMENT will Surely be "TRUMPED!

Holy shit it's catching on! Thank you for giving this the coverage it deserves! bsky.app/profile/ouij...

WE DID IT GUYS! #givemewafflehouseorgivemedeath

This has the potential to do more damage to Trump than any of the stuff going on in DC with Elon. This is the perfect issue that Trump's low information voters can feel and understand. If Cracker Barrel has to do something similar, it could bring down the presidency.

Egg problems driving up prices at Waffle House and others could persist www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

George Conway too! This is the story that will break Trump! #GIVEMEWAFFLEHOUSEORGIVEMEDEATH

It's catching on guys! Don't let up!

Our country is scattered, smothered and covered in orange shit 😒

I mean if this doesn't get low information voters out to vote, what will? Steal my data? Fine. Wreck Medicare and social security? Go for it. Make every plane trip a gamble? Bring it on. Mess with my Waffle House? FUCK YOU BILLIONAIRE BASTARDS! www.cnn.com/2025/02/04/f...

By his own criteria, isn't he disqualified then? Certainly not competent, and I would argue, not a man. At best 1/3 How can anyone respect a person like this. So small, so insecure.

Maybe just print this out and take it to Marco Rubio, since he's in charge of USAID now.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

"Trudeau and Trump reach a last minute deal whereby Trump agreed to put his own foot up his ass for a period of 30 days... Both parties seem pleased with the temporary truce." Get it together NYT....

Conservative budget wonks (Manhattan Instiutte, Tax Foundation) confirming that this is a consittutional crisis. Not liberal hysteria. Happening right now.

X/Twitter has banned multiple accounts after posts went viral naming people who work with Elon Musk

@raskin.house.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @warren.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @repjasmine.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social "@" literally EVERY/ANYONE! ffs. DO something. anything.

Democrats, you want to fundraise here is an idea that will make you millions: Go to OPM next time Musk's henchmen come by. Make a video of you confronting and stopping them. You'll get so much free media and your base will love it.

New State Department appointee's message to Black Americans (including a Republican Senator, Trump appointee and former head of Heritage)

@support.bsky.team Every once in a while, my posts will be getting a lot of engagement, and then they just disappear from the thread. All engagement stops and I can only find them if I go to them from my notifications. Any ideas or advice on how to fix? Example below

Some breaking news for everyone. JP Morgan is flying in 1.875 MILLION POUNDS of gold. Seems like somebody is afraid of inflation kicking back in gear.

Definitely makes way more sense than anything else. @godpod.bsky.social was this you?

Why do people lie? To distract and lead you away from the truth. So it is no longer important to just jump on every lie Trump tells. That just lets him shape the narrative. Instead we must point out the lie, and then pivot to WHY he is saying it.

It’s hard to convey how bafflingly stupid this is, but the article makes an admirable effort.

Perfect messaging. Acknowledge the shittiness of what he's saying and then pivot to WHY HE IS SAYING IT. We need to get coordinated on this shit. The story is not that Trump is an asshole or a Liar. That shit is old news. Focus on what he did to contribute to this disaster

Man, I didn't know better I'd say these are some real Nazi Germany vibes. Sure am glad to have Elon with the ear of the government as well. Since he very convincingly told us all he's not a Nazi. I feel very safe right now.

I'm honestly the most concerned that NPR got kicked out. They are some of the best non partisan news collectors out there. Not trying to be entertainment news. Just good solid reporting of facts.

I don't get the sense that U.S. journalists have a good sense of who to talk to when basic government functions are being ripped out. Gutting the administrative state is not a standard beat. A short thread with some starter suggestions for who to read/talk to. Please - people add more in replies!

Message to the whole #FBI workforce from Acting Director Brian Driscoll:

NBC NEWS NY TIMES NPR POLITICO Kicked out of the Pentagon media space. 3 of the 4 replacements are propaganda outlets, not news.

At the rate they're taking shit down, pretty soon any .gov website is just going to direct you to Trump's Truth Social account.

What a god damn socialist commie. Might as well call him Comrade Ronnie.

Fuck, he's roasting us good. I hate that we deserve it. But I'm so refreshed to hear it. I'm feeling confused

Remember the good ‘ol days when all we had to worry about were murder hornets? 😅

This is remarkable: "the FAA under Trump in 2019 launched a program to hire controllers using the very criteria he decried at his news conference." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... Has anyone picked up on this?

Dude is getting ratioed into the dirt. Hope you reconsider @golden.house.gov

Chris Murphy: "Why did he come out so quickly to attack women and Black people for ruining the FAA? He did that bc he is very vulnerable. He has some big questions to answer bc the FAA has been in chaos since he took over. Elon Musk, his co-president, forced out the FAA administrator ... "

These are broad ass tariffs. Not targeted or strategic. Do you really feel this is the best strategy for accomplishing your stated goals? Sure MAYBE it is a solution. But even if it were, it's not even approaching a good one Sort of like blowing up your whole house is the solution to killing a bug

The Nicaraguans who keep Wisconsin’s dairy farms, restaurants and factories working are sending home their most prized possessions, bracing for potential mass deportations. “We don’t have much, but what we do have is important.” New, from @melissa-sanchez.bsky.social

This is the way @democrats.org More messaging like this. Don't passively defend against his ridiculous DEI claims. Go on offense and set the narrative. Be coordinated and don't let him distract. Everyone knows he's an asshole. Don't let that be the story. The story is how he contributed to this.

Trump has no clue what caused this horrific tragedy but that doesn’t stop him from blaming his favorite boogeyman - people of color. He’d rather distract from his actions than mention that he slashed FAA and aviation safety personnel and boards.

Great thread. Please share widely.
