I offer you these reasons for very modest hope not because I want you to deny the awfulness of what’s occurring, but because I want you to see we are not necessarily doomed. Here’s this week’s summary of 10 reasons for very modest optimism. robertreich.substack.com/p/even-more-...

We’re yelling at Democrats because a lot of us elected Democrats to represent us, and we feel a lack of urgency. We feel helpless. Our concerns—our very LIVES in some cases—have been brushed off as “noise” and “distraction.” We have been abandoned.

Musk has seized the Treasury. Federal workers are being illegally harassed & threatened. The government is being systematically removed from the internet & valuable data is being lost. We're in a trade war w/ our two neighbors. What are you going to do!? We need to FIGHT!

Kavanaugh Turns on Trump? A federal judge just blocked Trump’s domestic spending freeze—and the ruling cites Brett Kavanaugh. Even Kavanaugh once ruled “the President does not have unilateral authority to refuse to spend” funds Congress approves. Will SCOTUS follow its own logic?

The script I've been using is: "Hello, I'm calling from [zip code] to demand that [name] use everything in their power to ensure that Musk answer for his criminal behavior in the OMB. He has no legal authority and his actions are nothing short of criminal. His actions must be exposed and stopped"

@sanders.senate.gov could you please comment on this? Why do you think Democrats such as @schumer.senate.gov aren't even talking about Elon's coup, let alone trying to stop it? www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

what Musk is doing is as close to the government being taken over by a hostile foreign power in our lifetimes, the coverage should reflect that

NEW: Elon Musk's friends have infiltrated the GSA and they're looking for ways to use White House credentials to access agency tech, potentially allowing them to remote into laptops, read emails, and more, sources say. w/ @zoeschiffer.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Why is an unelected billionaire in the OPM office? Why aren't you and others going in there with news cameras to harass Musk?

Elon Musk and his doge staff are illegally accessing government databases while shutting out access by actual government employees and tours is what you post about? Resign. Handover the minority leadership to a senator that actually realizes how serious the fight is.

HELLO, Musk is carrying out personnel actions against Federal employees.

Stop complaining…….DO SOMETHING…..ELON MUSK IS ACCESSING EMPLOYEE PERSONNEL RECORDS……HE IS NOT A GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE WITH AUTHORITY TO ACCESS HR DATA AND USE IT HOWEVER HE WANTS…..INVASION OF PRIVACY BY AN UNELECTED OFFICIAL…….DO SOMETHING TO STOP THIS ILLEGAL ACT

Can you please tell everyone that Musk has access to their payment information? This impacts everyone who has received a government payment.

@adamschiff.com @alexpadilla4ca.bsky.social @gavinnewsom.bsky.social @tedlieu.bsky.social What are you doing about this? You should be on the news screaming about an unelected private citizen w/ no formal Government role having this kind of power. It's Elon's coup! www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...
