We need a Navalny, not a Newsom. No offense intended against mainstream politicians like Newsom. It’s just that at this point we are way beyond the realm of normal bullshit politics.

Elon Musk owns a 12% stake in Tesla. Thanks to nationwide protests and international boycotts, Tesla stocks have plummeted in recent weeks, reducing his net worth by over $100 billion. We can do better.

Chinese investors are using opaque structures known as special-purpose vehicles to invest in Elon Musk's companies. This way, they conceal their identities to avoid the ire of US authorities and companies wary of Chinese capital.

These detained tourist stories are just what the country needs to truly be a world pariah. I’m sure 66 million international visitors isn’t much of an economic driver at all though.

Home. Work has my attention these last 48 hours and then some. School has my intentions. I’m not frazzled. But I am frayed. So much to read and write tonight. And then the ‘work week’ starts again soon. This will pass. But not all of it.

Our veterans are the best of us. Our government has a sacred obligation to look out for them. We have a duty to care for them. Instead, the corrupt mongrels in charge are firing them in the thousands. Veterans fought for us. It's time we fight for them.

NEW: In an extraordinary Oval Office meeting, Trump’s senior agency heads fought bitterly with Elon Musk. They’re angry with him because they themselves know the cuts by DOGE will produce all kinds of fiascoes at their agencies, and they don’t want to be blamed.

Here’s the secret on Trump and tariffs: he gets to look tough by threatening them but he’s scared to death to use them or honestly, to actually do anything. This is why he only picks on our friends because he looks tough but isn’t. Also:

Nebraska is going to get crushed between Tariffs and Medicaid cuts. They have to balance their state budget and it looks like at least a 200m shortfall this year. BEFORE tariff impacts. And Nebraska Republicans here ! Curious what you think www.1011now.com/2025/03/05/t...

One thing that the general public is not that aware of re: Tesla is that they do not manufacture their own battery cells They lease space in their factories for third-parties such as Panasonic. A lot of people invested in Tesla because they thought Tesla was vertically integrated re: the cells.

Trump hugged the flag, then stabbed veterans in the back. Cutting 80,000 VA jobs won’t improve services-it’s a betrayal of those who served. Veterans kept their promise, why won’t he? Read more: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/betrayed-a...

LMAO, Twitter has crashed yet again. Who could have guessed that firing a bunch of workers would make something run LESS efficiently? It's a good thing that same person isn't firing people who provide vital services through our federal government. Oh wait.
