House Democrats have launched an investigation into Elon Musk's conflicts of interest at NASA and how the billionaire is making money off of dismantling the space agency.
Why are you still prevaricating? You are selling us all down the river. Charge Musk with Conflict of Interest. Charge him today for god’s sake. How much more evidence do you need?
And if you want to stay alive to fight another day, begin IMPEACHMENT proceedings against the entire Trump Administration. TODAY.
1). Democrats have no power to charge anyone with anything. That's why. Even if they had the majority, Congress does not have the power to charge anyone.
2). Any impeachment investigation must be approved by the full House. Republicans will never do that. Impeachment investigations usually run through a special committee established by the House or the Judiciary Committee. Again, Republicans have the majority and will NEVER do this.
3). Impeachment without a conviction is worthless. GIVE IT UP. The Senate is going to remain in Republican hands at least through the 2028 election, and even if Democrats had the Senate majority, it takes 67 votes to convict in the Senate. 20 Republicans are NEVER going to vote to convict any member of the Trump administration. Anyone pushing for impeachment is living in a fantasy.
4), There is nothing that Democrats in Congress can do to fix this. Democrats can only expose the behavior and make the case to voters. Impeachement is only a possibility is Democrats win back the House in 2026.
5). In case you didn't notice, Democrats are winning, so I have no idea why you are worried about living to fight another day. It's Trump and the GOP who are on the ropes.---Jason
Yes but. It doesn’t stop the republicans to plow through our laws, send Americans to concentration camps, destroy our country and literally give trump kingship power. And you want to quote rules and regulations. It’s like bringing a knife to a gun fight.
You are wrong. There is literally nothing that can be done while Democrats are in the minority. That's the reality of Democrats having no power in Congress.---Jason
You are wrong. There's a whole lot being done. The Democrats in Congress have been doing whatever they were legally able to do since Trump took office in January. You aren't hearing about what they are doing, because Trump has the media so panicked about loosing their rights to participate at press conferences in the oval office or on Air Force One that they are just barely covering anything about Democrats. The most well respected investigative journalists write for the AP, and their organization has been barred just for referring to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of Mexico instead of the Gulf of America, a name The Donald chose to rename it.
This is a democracy, or at least it used to be. Our rights are being trampled every day, and there is little we can do but wait for an election that might bring some power back to the Democrats, not only in the House, but in state governments as well.
I really don’t have any faith in the democrats. After all they are also responsible for trumps. They put a black woman up as a candidate knowing damn well this country hates us. And yes I am a Black woman who is sick & tired of the bullshit. Even the 25 hr filibuster from Sen Booker, seriously why didn’t he do something like that before the election. Nope the dems they got a lot of explaining to do as well🤯
I thought Kamala was much stronger than the orange 🍊 💩And I believe that Muck and his minions messed with the computer vote tallies. DJT came out and said it in not so many words before the election. Why Kamala caved with out a recount I’ll probably never know. But there is no way in hell that he won this past election fair and square. Democrats didn’t just stay at home and not vote, it was too important to do that!
I want to believe they stole it and I’m inclined to believe because of his silence as she gained momentum in the final stages. She was to people like us but to half the country he was 🤬
I agree with the general premise that the Dems are partly responsible for this disaster. They have sat on their butts and continued to spout the rhetoric that they would negotiate with anyone. Specifically Jeffries also said “well what can we do when we don’t have power.” What a f..king whimp. Well the frog and scorpion negotiated a deal to cross the river and look where that got them.
They are starting to wake up that they can’t just rake in the money and medical benefits because they know how to charm the crowd. They have to go to work. Booker has been fighting but he made it very public with his filibuster.
They are starting to block all Republican legislation and appointments. Finally.
We had a black, (female) state supreme court justice running for Senate in NC. The National Party didn’t even support her financially while McConnell’s PAC spent a fortune. Our new Senator is Ted Budd. Ask me what I think about the Senate Democrats?
Anybody with common sense would have voted for Kamala Harris and known that she was the better candidate, no matter what her heritage is. I was totally blown away that she didn't win, and I'm a white woman. Some people are going to hate no matter what, just like Hitler hated Jews and gays, Trump, being one, hates immigrants, kkk hate blacks. And I agree, this country still isn't 100% when it comes to equal rights but this country doesn't hate black people. Hater's hate.
As a black woman myself, I’ve noticed that it’s a reality that many of us have to deal with. I don’t mean to say that everyone hates us, but it’s undeniable that we’re often marginalized, beaten down, and even feared. Throughout history, we’ve been subjected to unimaginable violence and abuse, and even today, we continue to be marginalized and treated as predators. It’s heartbreaking to see how women like Kamala have been treated and how we’re constantly told that we’re not good enough. I think differently than a white woman, and I hope that you’ll understand my perspective.
What the hell is taking them so long to do it? This was the problem with going after Felon 47... they dithered about until it was too late. Come on Dems. Do your job!
There is no finally about it. They have been doing this since January. Who reports on it except us? Virtually no one. This is what happens your media establishment caves to a president.---Jason
We don’t have a media that reports on anything important and never has. I have been tapping into Canadian news for decades to find out what’s going on in the U.S. The Dems and republicans don’t want the public to know what they are doing because they make multi-million dollar deals that also benefit themselves.
That’s why when Trump thought he could just roll over Canada the people en masse revolted and have collectively cut ties with the U.S. So our largest trading partner has packed up and gone elsewhere because everyone up there talks politics all the time. They aren’t ignorant or naive like most Americans.
I vote that we need to strip most billionaires of all their ill gotten gains since Trump took office. I also believe we need to strip all Nazis of their companies and deport them.
Why are we tolerating subversive operatives to operate in this country, which gives them opportunity to overthrow our country. The minute someone starts screaming subversive propaganda they need to be investigated for foreign influence. Like green and loomer and cotton and Jordon and musk and his friends from South Africa, the PayPal mafia.
Time is wasting, do it NOW! This has gone on FAR too long. Midterms will see a blue wave and the House and Senate will be controlled by Democrats once again. Let's hope they stay on the resistance and revolutionary band wagon and take full advantage of reversing most of the damage that has been and will be done by November 2026. 🇱🇷 💙
Now would be a waste of time and money, and we'd only come out on the losing end because we have a very corrupt Trump administration. One example is that an Attorney General should be non-partisan. Trump has picked the most partisan AG so in effect he calls the shots. It's the same with Dept of Defense, HHS, etc. This is not a democracy anymore. It's a dictatorship. The Republicans are now working on legislation to make voting even harder. No, the Democratic Party is doing what it should to increase voter support so we can finally kick out the GOP and take back the House, Senate and White House. And whenver you see Trump's lips moving, just remember - he's lying.
Musk is a blood-sucking narcissist who has an agenda to destroy democracy in OUR COUNTRY. He’s the man behind trump, using him, a shit for brains con man who can’t even see that he’s being conned.
The Democratic Representatives need to do a thorough investigation. Backing down is not an option. We, the voters, are watching, and if you want to get re-elected, do your job and stop the non-stop campaigning.
After you get the corrupt, undereducated GOPPERs out of office, how about legislation to get money out of politics? Start with legislation that makes "Citizens United" illegal. Perhaps legislation that defines what constitutes a human being. A living, breathing, heartbeating human, not a corporation run by people. They have their vote, they do not need an additional one for the business, along with the ability to purchase politicians at will.
I don't disagree with you, but they need to show us that they are putting in the work, not just blowing smoke. I want to see them protesting in Congress. I want to see them fighting the MAGA GOPPERs. I.E., Cory Booker and Al Green. I want to see them put themselves on the line for us, the people.
At its core their jobs are to represent their constituents. WE need to make it clear who their constituents are by voting either at a ballot box or at events like the ‘hands off’ rallies last weekend.
Sorry to say it, but talking about ‘they need to’ sounds more like the voice of a spectator than a participant.
If you aren't seeing them, you are lookig in the wrong place. Don't expect to see them on network TV. Tune into C-Span. You can get their schedule on your computer. You can attend when either house is in session. You can also log onto other substackers here like Thom Hartmann who report on many of our Dems and what they are doing.
Absolutely. It's our job to vote, and once we do, stay in touch with your representatives, state and federal, and tell them what you want to see, or else bye bye.
It saddens me, realizing the majority of the republican’s establishment can no longer be trusted in represent the interests of Americans. Republicans has become a cult, with loyalty only for their leader, the Orange Donald Trump/ Drumpft, which obedience is to Vladimir Putin. Republicans have become so disgusting in publicly shaming themselves into committing 100% loyalty to Donald out of fear of being ostracized if not
What another waste of time.. I am absolutely pissed off by the Democrats lack of action. Get angry..no one needs another worthless letter... shout facts it on the top of the your lungs loud and often....and everywhere!! Now and every day!
Democrats are not the ones to be pissed off at unless you are happy about seeing a billionaire rummaging through our Social Security records and driving our taxes up in order to cut taxes for billionaires.
There are so many conflicts of interest and illegal activities that it could and should apply to the administration, #47 and those Congress people who allow it to occur. It is time the Senators initiate these investigations, track and expose all illegal activities of this administration and loudly expose them to the American public and Judiciary.
When the truth is exposed, the people will stand up to demand justice and change. As that change comes, it will lead to charges filed. This will hopefully get the Republicans squirming and start to align themselves with truth and justice for the country and shut down the maga attacks.
Sadly I don’t think there’s any hope for them-they’ve sold their souls. He won’t be around forever (thank goodness) and then what will be left of them? History will not look upon them favorably. Will go down as worst in history.
History will prevail. In the meantime we need to resist and do our part to discourage and condemn the evil intents of those who wish to do harm to others. It is a great injustice, a lot of innocent people suffer and ultimately we are all betrayed. It brings down humankind. Very sad indeed.
You don't seem to recall that when the Dems held the House, they successfully impeached Trump in his first term. But the GOP held the Senate under Mitch McConnell's leadership, and he would not allow the senators to try him. So without the trial he was left to carry on as usual. Now, all he wants is revenge. That's the truth. If the People would stop voting for criminals, we wouldn't be having this problem.
The Ds are holding "war room" investigations, which is good. But what, other than MSNBC, media is covering them? Thune is ignoring them, as is Johnson. And right now, they control Congress.
We all need to pick a day in the USA and not go to work. That means everyone! Grocery Stores etc. That means Airlines, Banks, Wall Street, Grocery Stores, help at Agent Orange Resort and the squatters in the White House!
Good morning. Being that the illegal, illegitimate Executive Branch is using Digital Currency and Unleashing Crypto into the stock market and banking system and 98% pf the world currency is tied to the dollar why does wall street and banks immediately not freeze the use of crypto and bitcoin? They can convert their money to the legal dollar so it is traceable and is not fueling the fires hitting Wall Street and the world Monetary system. That would fix their “ Little Red Wagon!!” J.D Vance is buying up 6 generation farms for pennies on the dollar in bankruptcy. I know and you knew this would happen, I am sorry we are all in this mess.
Their goal is to tie the worlds banking system to Digital Currency instead of the Dollar. This would be a world financial disaster!
Why are you still prevaricating? You are selling us all down the river. Charge Musk with Conflict of Interest. Charge him today for god’s sake. How much more evidence do you need?
And if you want to stay alive to fight another day, begin IMPEACHMENT proceedings against the entire Trump Administration. TODAY.
You have messed about long enough.
1). Democrats have no power to charge anyone with anything. That's why. Even if they had the majority, Congress does not have the power to charge anyone.

I agree 100%. Connolly is getting way ahead of his skiis.
He needs to go back to Sourh Africa where he belongs!
Getting the MuskRat out of the country will be a great start to the “Cleanup on 1600 Pennsylvania Ave!”
I think we’re getting the run-around and nothing is being done!😡😡😡
You are wrong. There is literally nothing that can be done while Democrats are in the minority. That's the reality of Democrats having no power in Congress.---Jason

I just want them to fight
like our lives depend on it!
We had a black, (female) state supreme court justice running for Senate in NC. The National Party didn’t even support her financially while McConnell’s PAC spent a fortune. Our new Senator is Ted Budd. Ask me what I think about the Senate Democrats?
Don't blame Kamala, they picked her because she is the best.
Those elections we're rigged.
Please don't blame the skirt's length on the rape case.
Anybody with common sense would have voted for Kamala Harris and known that she was the better candidate, no matter what her heritage is. I was totally blown away that she didn't win, and I'm a white woman.

I do.
It’s just the Dems to prevaricate. It’s like they sit around asking for PERMISSION to do ANYTHING. That’s why Trump believes he can mow down
everybody.
Absolutely! The same can be said for charging King MAGA with seditious conspiracy and treason. The evidence is right in our faces.
What the hell is taking them so long to do it? This was the problem with going after Felon 47... they dithered about until it was too late. Come on Dems. Do your job!

My question, too. They are FINALLY getting around to this?
Strip him of ALL GOVERNMENT GRANTS!!!
That would be great, but Democrats need control of the House, the Senate, and the White House to strip Musk of his contracts. ---Jason
🤦♀️when will the madness end with this tyrant!
I vote that we need to strip most billionaires of all their ill gotten gains since Trump took office. I also believe we need to strip all Nazis of their companies and deport them.

You might like Thom Hartmann's piece about bribery on substack yesterday
I came in at the 3rd hour. Which hour was that?
When all republicans move their lips you can feel confident they are lying.
Musk is a blood-sucking narcissist who has an agenda to destroy democracy in OUR COUNTRY. He’s the man behind trump, using him, a shit for brains con man who can’t even see that he’s being conned.
Musk Must Go!
Trump is guiding and approving the moves musk makes.
Democrats we need MORE!
They can't do more. They have no power in Congress. They can do more if they win the majority in the House in 2026.---Jason

They have their vote, they do not need an additional one for the business, along with the ability to purchase politicians at will.
All of those are great causes, but Dems need a majority before those discussions even start.
The reason they don’t have a majority is voters didn’t give them one.
Before they can do their job, WE need to do our job.
I don't disagree with you, but they need to show us that they are putting in the work, not just blowing smoke. I want to see them protesting in Congress. I want to see them fighting the MAGA GOPPERs. I.E., Cory Booker and Al Green. I want to see them put themselves on the line for us, the people.
The days of being nice are over.
At its core their jobs are to represent their constituents. WE need to make it clear who their constituents are by voting either at a ballot box or at events like the ‘hands off’ rallies last weekend.
Sorry to say it, but talking about ‘they need to’ sounds more like the voice of a spectator than a participant.
Democracy is a participation sport.
If you aren't seeing them, you are lookig in the wrong place. Don't expect to see them on network TV. Tune into C-Span. You can get their schedule on your computer.

Thank you to Gerry Connelly and Maxwell Frost. It is high time we put the criminal E Musk in a place he can not harm the USA citizenry!
It's about time they
investigated musk. I wish there were more Chris Murphy Cory Booker's in our Senate. And of course, where is John Fetterman?
He was supposed to show up Saturday for "hands off "and was
a no-show
Fetterman is cozying up to republicans. He is another Manchin or Sinema in our ranks, hell Susan Collins has done more to help than he has.
It saddens me, realizing the majority of the republican’s establishment can no longer be trusted in represent the interests of Americans. Republicans has become a cult, with loyalty only for their leader, the Orange Donald Trump/ Drumpft, which obedience is to Vladimir Putin.

Go for it and get him out!!!!!!!

Democrats are not the ones to be pissed off at unless you are happy about seeing a billionaire rummaging through our Social Security records and driving our taxes up in order to cut taxes for billionaires.
We need to really start pester the Republicans that might get some guts and vote with the Democrats. We need to get Musk and then impeach CF47 too!
There are so many conflicts of interest and illegal activities that it could and should apply to the administration, #47 and those Congress people who allow it to occur.
