I’m pleased to announce that this afternoon, Wayne Lucas was taken into custody in Virginia just as the officer he so brutally assaulted was discharged from the hospital to the cheers of his NYPD family. Come for one of us & you'll have the full force of the NYPD coming for you.

1. In an extraordinary affidavit filed in federal court on Friday, a former senior civil servant at the Social Security Administration (SSA) detailed how deputies for Elon Musk forced their way into the agency, formed a clandestine unit, and gained access to its most sensitive databases. Tiffany Flick, the affiant who served as the acting chief of staff to the commissioner of the agency until mid-February, also warned that careless actions by Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) could lead to interruptions in Social Security payments.

Breaking: FBI employees have sued the Acting Attorney General James McHenry, accusing the Justice Department of violating the Constitution and privacy laws by demanding that agents complete a survey allegedly designed to “purge” bureau personnel who were involved in investigations related to President Donald Trump and the January 6 US Capitol attack.

This man is dangerous. He is unelected. He heads an "agency" made up out of thin air with no congressional oversight. He now has access if not control of the federal payment system at Treasury. It is clear: "Musk has no experience with or demonstrable understanding of the government". Republicans don't care and Democrats have no clue how to stop him. msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opin… via @msnbc

An unelected billionaire now has unprecedented access to U.S. citizens' Social Security, tax returns, and even veteran benefits. This is an alarming breach of trust and privacy.

Elon Musk says we should allow more WHITE South Africans to emigrate to the US. Not South Africans of any other race - specifically WHITE South Africans only.

"The Gaza thing has never worked," President Trump says in the Oval Office. "If we could find the right piece of land, pieces of land, and build them some really nice places...I think that would be a lot better than going back to Gaza."

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

Tim Kaine tells federal employees to ignore Trump’s offer to quit w/ pay for months. “Don’t be fooled. He’s tricked hundreds of people w/ that offer. If you accept that offer & resign he’ll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors. He doesn’t have any authority to do this.”

We ran an article Friday about how the Trump campaign has made a habit of deceptively using quotes in its TV ads, cutting out words and taking stuff way out of context. Then the campaign released the most egregious example yet. Here's a thread on deceptive quotes in its new ad.
