Fuck #TMobile. Users of the service are now in league with #elonmusk. This isn’t an electric car that will stop you from polluting. You can get a #cellphone from other providers. They won’t be the second biggest investment you can make in your life. “But I need #starlink. I live too far from cities to get the #internet”. You’re also a #racist asshole who lives away from people to avoid knowing that your greed hurts others.

The Senator brings up a good point: does the Cabinet *really* matter than much right now? 🤔

“Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) is urging Republicans to call on Elon Musk to testify before the Senate labor committee in order to probe who in the Trump administration is truly in charge, as the Senate continues advancing cabinet picks in spite of Musk seemingly being behind most major decisions.”

Sen. Bernie Sanders looks on during a Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions confirmation hearing at the Dirksen Senate Office Building on January 30, 2025, in Washington, D.C.
Truthout · Sanders: It Hardly Matters Who Trump Picks for Labor Secretary When Elon Musk Is Actually in Charge“If you want to discuss policies in the Department of Labor, let’s bring in the real secretary,” Sanders said.

Some of this feels a bit ageist, but if they’re not willing to to fight for their constituents, then they need to go, whoever they are: “Democratic officials have taken their base for granted for far too long. ... And even if primary challenges don’t succeed, they are still worth doing to put some fear into electeds, and force them to stand up to Trump.”

The American Prospect · These Ten Democrats Need to Be PrimariedThe party needs fighters to stop Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

„And as much fun as we all are having watching Congress render itself irrelevant and wondering whether the courts even matter, there’s a concrete nightmare looming. Mass unemployment, the defunding of crucial social programs, and just plain incompetence mean that America, as we know it, is already in for hard times.“

The Democrats absolutely need to stand up and be the ones framing the debate, and the fight against this insanity:

“Stories about average Americans being hurt by the freeze on popular domestic programs are powerful—of course we should lead with those. But stories about betraying American values and the Americans who sacrifice for our country overseas can be powerful, too.”
