So how come Hegseth tells his Pentagon to cut the military budget by 8% each year for 5 years but the GOP House wants to give the Pentagon another $100B ON TOP of its existing budget? At the expense of Medicaid & Medicare.
Getting ready to run over all institutions
Using an army of incel minions
Trying to bring everyone under his dominion
Not giving a damn about anyone’s opinion
This fucking alien might ruin our union
Interestingly, with the drop in Tesla stock value (and still dropping) he is no longer worth anything near $400B. And his Tesla holdings (also subsidized by the government) are probably close to the value of his SpaceX holdings (even more heavily subsidized by the government.
I am so concerned for America's corporations. When we keep giving them subsidies, we are encouraging a culture of dependency! They need a hand UP, not a hand OUT.
Musk was not born a billionaire. Our government made him one.
Musk was given billions of our tax dollars without strings attached.
He bought himself elections and is set to destroy our Democracy.
And there is NOTHING our government can do about it 🤷🏼♀️
Thanks for sharing this important information! Who will review Musk's government contracts? I bet you will find fraud and waste! It's time Musk justify his government contracts!
So starting now why not systematically call him "the man who got $38 billions in government contracts" which is much more accurate than the "richest" man?
Coincidentally, the USAID budget, which helps millions of people and not one neo-Nazi South African expatriate with broken and half-finished projects now hell bent on ruining our Constitutional republic, is about $40 billion.
Americans why are we allowing our hard earned tax dollars going to an illicit DRUG user. Q- would you trust a illicit drug user control with your personal money? Q-what are we the people going to do about IT? #STOPTHESTEAL
I gifted this article on my Bluesky feed if anyone wants to read it. Save the Washington Post. Jeff Bezos is killing it. I live 27 miles south of DC and they stopped delivery of the paper to my region a year ago.
We need to have rallies in the three constituencies that are up for special elections in March and April.
The time is NOW! If we take back Congress, at least there is checks, balances and oversight!!!
Was wondering when someone was going report on the bloody obvious. Mr Bezos has benefited from public money as well- Roads, airports, etc. I know these ingrates think they did this all by themselves. Your welcome- I think it past time to claw back our money.
But his choosing to be political has cost him $58 billion in stock value since December! Showrooms are being protested and his worst has yet to arrive. Before he bought Twitter [X] he was the hottest thing on the planet. We are about to see the biggest collapse in world history!

This is important but you've waited around 5 years too long to run the story
“I just fired the people protecting us from bird flu”
“Well *I’m* stealing the mineral wealth from our democratic ally Ukraine”
“Well *I’m* refusing to pay for my own child’s medical bills”
And so on.
$2 trillion in cuts (Medicare/Medicaid)
$4.5 trillion in tax giveaways for billionaires
Increase in Pentagon spending
(After promising 50% cut)
$19 trillion increase to national debt

MAGA will restore Patriarchy & perceived superiority to white men who consider all others beneath them
Lies, spread of propaganda blaming Dems, Libs, POC, LGBTQ, Jews, Muslims, Imigrants for all problems in US distracts from what's really happening
he needed.
Another Trumpy con man!!
