Yes! Nobody anywhere should depend on Elon Musk or his companies for anything. Ever. #seetherealelon

I’m totally fine with deporting gang members who commit crimes who don’t have legal status. I just don’t want Tom Homan or an ICE agent grabbing anyone off the street and flying them to a prison in El Salvador while claiming they are all of those things with zero due process.

So who decides now if someone is a gang member or if someone has a valid asylum claim under the law? Tom Homan? A random ICE agent? A local Sheriff’s deputy? A neighbor? An informant? So they just say a person is in a gang and they get disappeared to a prison in El Salvador?

DOGE "is headed by Elon Musk," Donald Trump says. Cc: @annabower.bsky.social Federal judges in DC, Maryland, and Virginia Yaakov Roth

This is unconstitutional. A violation of the First Amendment. A violation of federalism and the separation of powers. It’s unconstitutionally vague. It’s unlawful. It’s unlawful. It’s unlawful.

JUDGE COLLEEN KOLLAR-KOTELLY: Is there an administrator of DOGE at the present time? GOVERNMENT COUNSEL: I don’t know the answer to that

Preliminary injunction hearing at 2 p.m. today on DOGE access to Treasury records Will Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly accept the challenge???? Will we finally learn the identity of the DOGE administrator????? Stay tuned

Judge Kollar-Kotelly grilled counsel for the government on DOGE's command structure. Counsel repeatedly said he didn't know the answer to her questions. The judge said the questions are relevant bc she has concerns about whether DOGE is operating constitutionally under the Appointments Clause.

Don’t let Trump lie to you He and his circle did NOT support the CDU in the German elections — Musk and Vance endorsed the neo-Nazi AfD Germany is another LOSS for far-right pro-Putin extremism

Elon’s ONLY GOAL IS WORLD DOMINATION. Not one scintilla less. He is a lying liar of the Highest Neo-Nazi Order. 🤬

🎯🎯🎯 Real verifiable “transparency” is not a characteristic of nor an actual policy of Twixxer. If Elon had any goal other than “world domination” he’d want to be under oath & put his so called “proof” of fraud at Social Security in front of the Courts ASAP. But he’ll never testify bc he’s lying.🤥

It seems to me that if Musk has proof that millions of social security checks have gone out illegally to dead people, he should be presenting that evidence in front of a grand jury under oath tomorrow instead of shitposting it on social media. When can we do this under oath?

The position of the Trump Admin is that the only people on earth subject to repression by their own government sufficient to qualify for asylum in the US are White people in South Africa. I’m pretty sure they will open it up to Norway next week

BREAKING NEWS: In a massive lawsuit, the AFL-CIO has SUED the Treasury Department: “for their unlawful…disclosure of personal and financial information…to Elon Musk and other members of the so-called ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ (DOGE).”

#JDVance #MikeJohnson #ChuckSchumer #ChuckGrassley This is unacceptable!!! This man has no business at all at any government agency. He was not elected or nominated to any official position. He should be arrested for theft of personal data & apparently tax dollars!

An unelected Billionaire is running rampant through the payment system millions of Americans rely on for their Social Security payments, Medicare, and tax refunds. This is very dangerous turf. Americans demand answers before their information is irreparably breached.
