In America, decisions about what is legal and illegal are made by courts of law. Not by the Vice President.

This morning, I sent a letter to the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) regarding @elonmusk's potential conflicts of interest. Within minutes, the White House confirmed receipt. By noon, President Trump fired the Director of OGE. I want to know: Was this to prevent his answer?

Fascism backed by Big Money is one of the most dangerous of all political alliances. We saw it in 1930s Germany, and we're seeing it again today.

Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income | Truthout

A true hero has taken his final flight. ✈️ Lt. Col. Harry Stewart Jr., one of the last surviving Tuskegee Airman, has passed at 100. He broke barriers and defended a country that denied him equality when he returned home. His legacy soars on. Rest in Power, Lt. Col. Stewart.

The Palestinian people have suffered unbelievably. >45,000 killed. >100,000 injured. Healthcare, educational system, housing— all destroyed. Trump's response? Forcibly remove 2.2 million people from their homes and turn Gaza into a billionaires' paradise. I don't think so.

The world’s richest man has decided that the world’s richest country shouldn't help some of the world’s poorest people. This is blatantly illegal. An unelected billionaire cannot simply shut down federal agencies authorized by Congress at will.

BREAKING NEWS: Republican Senator Jerry Moran of Kansas has split with his party to admonish the reckless and illegal shutdown on USAID: Moran says the aggressive change at the USAID office shut down left $340 million in lifesaving food grown in the United States sitting at

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

As the forces of hatred are on the march, my promise is this: Our trans neighbors will continue to be safe, protected, and welcome in Minnesota.

Fire Elon Musk. He crashes and breaks everything he buys. Now he thinks he can buy our government and strip it for parts. Even something as simple but essential as air traffic controllers are at risk. We can't let that happen. We need to fire Elon Musk.

If you are worried about the state of the country, don't forget: Republicans control the House and the Senate, but their margins are SLIM. They are susceptible to citizen outrage. If they say "drill baby drill," if they want to cut Medicaid: Get on the phone. Fight back.

There is a simple solution to the CBS/Trump lawsuit. The Harris campaign should sue Fox and insist Fox release the unedited versions of all their many edited interviews with Trump.

She doesn't have 'connections' to USAID (she worked there years ago, before she was a journalist); she didn't "dox" him, he was a de facto government employee; she didn't "get" him fired, he got himself fired for saying racist things; and it very much *is* journalism.

Oh blimey. There it is. Libel lawsuits for all. NYT vs Sullivan has protected US journalism from crippling defamation suits. Trump made it clear he wanted it gone. Now one of acolytes is trying to make that happen

The *real* reason for Elon Musk’s hostile takeover of the federal government

Funny how that works, huh?

I'm all for going after waste, fraud, and abuse. The Department of Defense spends $800+ billion a year. It's never passed a single audit. Ever. USAID was audited three months ago. Is Elon scared to lose all the defense contract money he pockets from the Pentagon?

I spent the evening standing in the freezing cold, in a lay-by near Whitehaven #Cumbria. I doubt I'll ever witness anything more remarkable than a #murmuration. Stunning.
