Elon Musk calls people who benefit from federal programs "the parasite class" and Medicare "a Ponzi scheme" while he has sucked more dollars out of our federal government than *anyone* on food stamps, Medicaid, or Medicare--and, unlike most of them, he doesn't pay taxes.

You sure? Coz non-official acts of corruption are not immune from prosecution.

An increasingly unstable Trump reignited his scorched-earth trade war on Friday, unleashing a fiery social media tirade that took aim at Apple and Europe with fresh tariff threats.

Cue the “we love the troops” BS from MAGA on Memorial Day.

In case you needed any more evidence that you just can't trust Elon Musk... finance.yahoo.com/news/musk-un...

@joshmankiewicz.bsky.social I’m watching your Dateline piece on Puffy right now. Great show thus far! Not sure if you remember me from X (I’m your biggest pocket square fan). If interested, I could share some tea re: a direct connection to his case off record.

I’m participating and I won’t be buying anything tomorrow. Zip. I hope you will participate too and show that we do indeed have a voice.

RIP Gene Hackman - One of the most influential screen actors ever. There was nothing he couldn’t do. His work was searingly truthful and often brutally honest -he never let you off the hook . Not afraid of ambiguity- a lost quality these days . Lucky & grateful to have share screen with him.

New: Tesla's market value slipped below $1 trillion on Tuesday amid reports of a stark slowdown in car sales in Europe

Another plane incident in DC: An American Airlines flight from Boston had to abort its landing at DCA airport this morning to avoid another plane that was taking off on the same runway, authorities said.

Senator, welcome to Bluesky. Can you explain why you're sponsoring a bill to repeal Section 230, which would effectively make it impossible for Bluesky to do what it's doing today, creating this kind of space? Thanks. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/21/w...

We get questioned a lot—we understand. Every day seems crazier than the last, and our legitimacy is often challenged. But everything we’ve shared is backed by evidence.

Our veterans have sacrificed so much for our country—they deserve nothing less than the full support and care they have earned.

However, a look at internal VA documents reveals that the 875 contracts being eliminated support critical functions such as medical services, cancer programs, doctor recruitment, and burial services for veterans.

The Department of Veterans Affairs is making sweeping cuts to contracts, with the Trump administration asserting that core services will remain unaffected.

More information: She was on vacation in Mexico when this news was announced. She wasn’t even aware of it and had never been consulted.

Elon has a track record of using people as human shields.

Amy Gleason is the acting administrator of the DOGE. Please don’t be distracted by this—it was only done because federal judges were questioning who was actually running the operation. Gleason is completely controlled by Musk, and he is doing this to avoid testifying.

“Be brave” @janefonda.com

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

President Krasnov and First Lady Elon need to be impeached.

I'm watching the press conference between President Macron and trump, and the President of France speaks and understands TWO languages way better than trump does, struggling with just English. It's such a colossal embarrassment having trump representing the U.S.

WTF is going on with air travel??

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social why are you not posting on here first ? You have some great things to say. You are trying some great things. Yet you post on X where 100pct of the replies are meaningless and hateful. It's not all roses here, but the engagement has depth and real convos happen

Unbelievable!

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Corruption—our tax dollars hard at work to support criminal enterprises, bribery and intimidation in the Trump Administration.

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Hagan, Danielle and the other attorneys who resigned are my newest heroes. They put Country over party. Like it should be! #SDNY

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

#Felon47 just dropped this 1st amendment violation today:

The Trump apologists who tried to make us believe he really was secretly for Ukraine and will be all tough…. Ya, nope. These people need brought forward and called out so we never listen to them again.

Democracy Forward filed a lawsuit on behalf of the city of Baltimore, Maryland and the economic justice organization Economic Action Maryland Fund on Wednesday to block President Donald Trump’s efforts to dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — the nation’s financial watchdog agency.

He bought the U.S. government for $250M so he could wipe away all the corruption investigations against his corporations.

This *chirp* is fine.

He’s right… it would be great if @bsky.app could take X down. It’s getting there…

Four years ago today. youtu.be/s3wrXajGQ6c

Visit me in the camps

Exactly Katie!

Vance is a full on Nazi. He’s been waiting for this moment since they kicked Mamaw off welfare…. Lots of plotting…

Makes watergate look like checkers

This will absolutely get under the freakishly orange skin of President Trump. He and Elon are both vile human beings…

Kash Patel didn’t disclose this, he didn’t disclose that he was working for the Government of Qatar last Fall. He also has ties to Chinese company Shein. In addition, he lied UNDER OATH multiple times during his hearing. I urge everyone to write or call your Senators and urge them to vote NO!

Yes, there will be retribution. But there are things we all must do starting immediately. "It is incumbent on the media, civil society groups, judges and individual citizens to adopt a presumption of skepticism when it is told that a political opponent of Trump is under an ethical or legal cloud."
