Honestly wasn’t prepared for how lost and out of his depth Chuck Schumer is this interview. Doesn’t seem like he’s absorbed any new information since 2007. I don’t know who Senate Democrats’ best option is, but hard for me to imagine it’s this.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

I’m calling for new leadership in the Democratic Party. So many democrats want to do the right thing, but leadership is stopping them with the unspoken threat of refusing to give them leadership positions down the road. NEW DEM LEADERSHIP NOW!! #NewDemLeadership

I feel like a lot of people forgot that the whole purpose of gov is "I pay taxes, your protect us" not "I pay taxes, you play fucking games"

Getting rid of the American workers who take care of American veterans is wrong. Veterans will not take this sitting down - we can make this the newest example of Trump being forced to back down from a bad move.

FUCK RONALD REAGAN

It’s quite clear that Schumer and Jeffries have no control in the democratic caucus and the caucus has no faith in their leadership.

Things that would have been effective: • Leaving all at once • Not showing up at all • Counterprogramming Things they did instead: • Wore pink • Auction paddles • Pout

Keep holding your stupid little signs dems. That'll show em

It's absolutely insane that this is their strategy.

Dems have literally rolled over and died #sotu

Trump is literally L posting in his #sotu literally nothing on the economy.

"Free speech is back" says the president who this week posted on social media that he would be banning and criminalizing what he deems "illegal protests" at colleges and universities.

YOU SHOULD WATCH THE SPEECH FROM YOUR CUCK CHAIR HAKEEM JEFFRIES.

How do you claim to be the the party of fiscal responsibility AND RAISE THE DEBT CEILING

Musk can suck me off from behind

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Everyone gonna be clowning on Mahomes (deserved) and Kelce (also deserved) but I just wanna take a moment to clown on Harrison Butker because he's a racist, a misogynist, and a homophobe and I'm glad he hasn't even had an opportunity to kick a field goal tonight. Go fuck yourself Butker.

SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS! THIS ONE’S FOR YOU PHILLY!

Friends are switching from WhatsApp to Signal. Smart move. Also, the less you support Zuck the Cuck, the better.

Elon illegally has non-governmental people accessing government computers. Journalists have identified these people. Elon says naming them is a "crime". Elon must be removed from government access, by force if necessary. Nobody is winning this fight with a protest sign. This is a different animal.

Exactly. No is a complete sentence

Elon Musk’s companies—Tesla and SpaceX—have received billions in government contracts and subsidies. Yet, this issue is largely ignored. Isn’t it time we started holding corporations accountable for the massive burden they place on taxpayers?

Got a tip? I oversee five reporters looking at the Trump Administration, conflicts of interest, & abuses of power. And I am eager to give them more work. Get in touch here:

This is a great idea. Do you know anyone in Congress you can talk to?

Ayanna Pressley: "Elon Musk is a Nazi nepo baby."

Susan Collins announces that she has no integrity and so will vote to confirm Tulsi.

There's a quote apocryphally attributed to Mark Twain that "history doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes." We're all a little older than we were but it felt eerily familiar with these three guys on the left today

More members are joining us from both chambers, we'll be there on the west side (14th St NW) at 1:00

Musk has had no problem naming individual federal employees he thinks should be fired (see article). Now he wants anonymity and zero oversight for his officials who are creating a constitutional crisis. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/fake-jobs-...

No one is above the law. ✊

I say this with the upmost respect and clear mind #democrats. #trump does not give a shit about your lawsuits. He and his team are going to sit on it until it's time and he'll just flat out disregard it because he can. You need a different avenue and approach other than diplomacy and bureaucracy.

If you’re a government employee, thank you for your service & here’s a resource you may find helpful. Stay strong. www.civilservicestrong.org

Fantastic roundup of the Musk coup by @mmasnick.bsky.social; Musk's unappointed cronies have infiltrated more of the federal government than I'd heard. www.techdirt.com/2025/01/31/e...

Trump is openly violating the law on a vast and unprecedented scale and everyone is acting like it's normal. NPR had a long story about finding a rare shrew. NYT said he was disregarding "legal niceties." This is an attack on the Constitution as profound as the attempt to overturn the 2020 election.

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!

do we know anyone in a position of power, such as an elected official, who might assist in such an effort

Elon Musk staff has been caught installing hard drives inside the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Treasury Department, and the General Services Administration (GSA).

if a major politician held an emergency rally about the current ongoing coup by the richest man in the world, I think people would go to it. Shit is well and truly fucked. I can think of a couple of people who should do that right now.

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...
