*taps mic* Elon Musk did not shut down USAID because it was “a ball of worms with no apple.” He shut it down because USAID was investigating Starlink for shutting off satellites in Ukraine to assist Russia in its war. Everything Musk ever does is to serve one person: himself

Yesterday Trump unveiled his priorities for his tax bill. Everyone needs to understand what's going on here. It's a massive tax giveaway to the rich and powerful, financed by deadly cuts to programs like Medicare and the ACA that help regular people. I explain it here.

BREAKING: CNN just aired this devastating montage of all the times Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham said that USAID was vital to America’s national security interests. Just another example showing how spineless Rubio and Graham really are.

Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire, worth $420 billion, is dismantling our democracy. The GOP is protecting him at every turn. No one voted for Elon Musk. This is a constitutional crisis.

There are ways to save the government money without cutting critical programs that most Americans rely on. For example, cutting the tax loopholes and government subsidies that billionaires rely on.

MAGA lunatics are currently trying to spread propaganda against badass Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett sending money to her husband, but the problem with that is she’s never been married. They’re unbelievably stupid AF.

The moment we say it's ok to violate the law to shut down one agency – we say it's ok to violate the law to shut down anything.

NOAA, the federal agency responsible for forecasting the weather and tracking extreme weather events like hurricanes, is looking at 50% employee cut and a 30% budget cut. In times of crisis, Trump will gladly leave you and your family at risk.

It's ILLEGAL for special gov't employees to do gov't work that affects their own financial interests! Musk's companies got $3.3 BILLION in US gov't contracts in 2024, and now he's deciding who gets federal funding. We on House Judiciary Dems are calling on @DOJ to investigate NOW.

Now THIS would actually work. Consumerism is powerful! But we’d have to get the word out and stick together- are you in??? Retweet- spread the word.

Deranged chaos agent RFK Jr has just disclosed nearly $1.2M in credit card debt. Many of us would be facing court if we owed just $3K in credit card debt. This is who fascist republicans want to lead U.S. Health as well as manage the Healthcare budget. Lunatics.

Musk isn’t making government smaller. He’s shutting down the parts of the government that have been investigating his companies for safety violations and ties to Russia.

Who was this reporter? I’d like to buy them a drink. 🥃

Elon Musk, the richest guy in the world, is going after USAID, which feeds the poorest people in the world. Next, he’ll go after the programs that impact you: Medicaid, Medicare, community health centers, Pell Grants, affordable housing. We can stop him.

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

Is ⁦Department of Government Efficiency⁩ going to prevent this unnecessary expense?

Elon Musk just got CALLED OUT by Democratic Congressman Daniel Goldman. Why won’t Musk and his team say this under oath? If he’s being honest, why won’t he?
