Trump plans to accept a $400M jet as a gift from Qatar to serve as AF1. Unsurprisingly, AG Pam Bondi, a former registered Qatari foreign agent, signed off on the deal. “Unconstitutional” does not begin to describe this brazen corruption, let alone the national security threats.

The tariffs are catastrophic. But so too are the abuses of power, so is the corruption, so are the police state tactics, so is the destruction of our health care infrastructure, so are the ways our national security is being endangered, so are the attacks on our core freedoms.

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.
