Elon Musk and his DOGE cronies said they’d make government more efficient. Instead, they broke it — creating a bureaucratic mess & bulldozing services Americans rely on. This was never about efficiency. It was about rigging government for billionaires at everyone else’s expense.

If they had probable cause, they could detain them criminally. If necessary to obtain info they could get GJ subpoenas or material witness warrants. But this is just hate. Will they do this to the family of every white supremacist who commits a terror attack too? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/u...

Oh! The guy who pocketed billions in subsidies, dodges taxes, and plays shadow cabinet w/Trump is suddenly clutching his pearls? Elon Musk lashing out at Trump’s big beautiful bill – “This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.”

I don't really care if Elon Musk called Trump's awful bill a "disgusting abomination" (which it is) I DO care that he and Trump destroyed USAID Allegedly causing the deaths of 300,000 people-with 200,000 children among them And then CELEBRATED it

📌"I'm sick and tired of hearing about some alleged feud that has developed between Musk and the only person who is more disgusting than him on the entire planet: the orange, wrinkly America-attacking Trump. They have both done immeasurable damage to real people's lives and THAT should be the focus."

It was never about deporting violent criminals. If that were true, where are the examples? Trump would be shouting the victims’ names from the rooftops. What we’re actually seeing are heartbreaking videos of families torn apart by masked men who look more like white supremacists than ICE agents.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

David and I were talking, and I said that my ex-husband was verbally abusive. When I finally left him, it was because I didn’t want my daughters to believe that abuse was love, and I didn’t want my son to think that abuse was love, in whatever form. I didn’t want them normalizing disrespect

Even with massive cuts to Medicaid & SNAP… even after slashing housing, and gutting public education… Republicans’ $3.7 trillion tax cuts still add $2.4 trillion to the deficit. Our kids & grandkids will have the GOP to thank for the economic train wreck they will be left with.

The thing is this: Musk and "fiscal hawks" like Johnson in the Senate want way more cuts AND to preserve the Trump tax breaks. They want a completely minimalist government with no safety net. Their opposition is aligned with the cruelest vision of government.

The New York Times finally stated the obvious - Trump has repeatedly used and promoted white supremacist symbols and figures, like the meme he posted on "Truth Social" a few days ago. It's a long standing pattern with Trump and his administration - see next post.

📌U.S. intelligence vetted by among others, MARCO RUBIO, laid out that Putin helped put Trump in office. That it is regularly ignored by our press in the context of NATO and the War in Ukraine is shoddy, and ISN'T journalism. It is essential background, and informs Trump's dealings in the region.

Tuesday: Cruz and Booker sparred over the 2023 protests outside Supreme Court justices’ homes — and Cruz, smug as ever, played outraged. But where was that outrage when angry mobs attacked Capitol cops? When Trump pardoned 1,200+ rioters? And will Cruz hold Trump accountable for threatening judges?
