Elon Musk is now calling on Republicans to shut down the government until Trump takes office — and many are jumping at the opportunity to please their unelected billionaire overlord.

Just a reminder that in 2019, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine misinformation campaign helped cause a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly kids. Do you really want him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services?

If you want to know how Pete Hegseth runs an organization, it's right here: rampant sexual harassment, constant drunkenness, and completely incompetent leadership. And Trump wants him in charge of the Pentagon. on.msnbc.com/3Zxjtgp

Pete Hegseth, nominee for Sec Def: - zero experience - his own mother will not endorse him - not a single reputable member of the military has come forward to support his nomination - has a history of sexual assault, financial mismanagement and being drunk on the job You're all caught up.

Charles Kushner, Trump’s ambassador nominee to France, was convicted in 2005 for tax evasion, witness tampering, and illegal donations. He later orchestrated a scheme to entrap his brother-in-law and sent the footage to his sister. Pardoned by Trump in 2020, a true family of felons.

Would be interesting what role X and shady data deals have played in this petition. Maybe it's time for Keir Starmers government to have a closer look into that.

I am British so you may wonder why I care about US election results. My heart goes out to normal families. Families that will have ill children with no healthcare or immunisation control. That is not all, I know. Feel my genuine love for you all. 💙

The FELON does NOT have a landslide or a mandate! It’s a PLURALITY, less than a majority! His margin is 1.6% which is 44th out of 51 elections since 1824. This is the narrowest margin for an R since 1968, excluding the 2xs Rs lost the popular vote & won the Electoral College. 36% didn’t vote.

US Senators have called for a probe into Musk's contact with Russia, and Musk responded by saying that he's "going to find out who's making these accusations and nuke them.” That’s a big problem when you don’t have a Justice Department.
