Follow the money and see where it goes. Nothing like buying our Congress. Musk has made the maximum allowable donation to members of Congress who support impeaching federal judges who are impeding actions taken by Trump.

Names: Representatives Eli Crane of Arizona, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Andy Ogles of Tennessee, Andrew Clyde of Georgia, Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin, and Brandon Gill of Texas. He also donated to Senator Charles E. Grassley.
I hope the part of my state, Colorado, which is largely rural, farms and ranches, that voted for that worthless boob, Boebert, see this since musk is destroying their livelihood.
i grew up in the meadows neighborhood the very neighborhood i used for my photo on this campaign profile and told you that i have witnessed the testimonies of people like Robert having property taxes from 1500 to 3500 due to the insane debt in the meadows and want the power to fix the corruption.
what if i told you i was at the town hall last night and surprise surprise she wasn't there anyways i know about some extreme corruption in Douglas county and would like to serve you of district 4 in removing actual fraud and abuse from you're property taxes.
The real kick in the teeth is that musk and ilk claim to be fighting corruption and fraud...just because they are legal bribes doesn't make them less corrupt
"Seemingly gleeful cruelty has been a hallmark of DOGE’s operations...It's hard to escape the sense that DOGE staffers are actually enjoying this. And why not? We’re mostly talking about poorly socialized young men suddenly given the power to ruin other people’s lives..."
Right before he was paid by Musk, Grassley sent a letter to Pam Biondi complaining about government lawlessness. He accidentally focused on the judiciary instead of the real problem. To help him out, I've excepted his letter below and fixed up some of the nouns for him!
"Over the last few months, I have watched with concern as [Trump] issued sweeping [Executive Orders] that reach far beyond [the powers of the executive branch]....These [EOs] are issued on an expedited basis with limited [Congressional input]...
Simply put, [withdrawing Congressionally approved funding and closing Congressionally established agencies] not only violates separation of powers but also silences the American people...These [actions] undermine the legitimacy and faith in [our exective branch]...
the improper practice of these [executive powers], which thwarted [Congressional Authority] authority, should be stopped. Exacerbating the problem, however, is that these [EOs] have been routinely implemented in violation of federal law...
I’ve seen where republicans are getting angry about a judge a non elected official stirring up shit for them . They have the gaul to say so. What is mElon? A non elected official!
I think it was pam bondi
Unless they can convince Schumer to whip some votes, that's probably wasted money. He might if they politely ask him though, to show his bipartisanship.
Nazi judicial competence and procedure was established for the first time in a set of Directions (Richtlinien) decreed by Hitler in August 1929. After 1933, the Führer ordered the present Chief Party Justice, Walter Buch, to change the USCHLA into a regular party judicial system.
I'm working on building a coalition locally to climb up the pile.
Many things are being cut and so it's legally going back to states, which companies will have a better chance of isolating, taking over, and exploiting.
So we get into these local seats now and don't let them.
And they call President Biden a con man. Musk and Trump both are getting away with blatantly making their own rules by buying their way to votes and loyalty. I’ll never understand.
Truthfully, I think Tesa tanks another 20% this dumb-ass-mutherfucker won't be able to afford to pay his bills and Humpty will kick Dumpty's broke ass to the curb like he does when he's finished using then up! I hope he's enjoying the Mrs. Or something.....cause he's fucked!
"Donations" to politics in general... not individuals in ANY way... should be capped at $500k per citizen/organization. Anything more than that is unnecessary.
What happens if say, each member of Congress was given $100K+ as a gift 4 going along w certain political decisions, wouldn’t giving $ be illegal? There should’ve been a bill passed a long time ago that would allow Congress’s bank accounts to be examined & they should not be allowed to buy stocks
Time to #FireChuck @schumer.senate.gov Time for the blue-washed "centrists" learn that the people are pissed at performative symbolic nonsense while betraying us when it counts. Replace with anyone who hasn't received praise from T-ump ever
We seriously can not watch this nonsense. Continue to pass. The people who believe in them and their agenda are gonna be all for this, and these bribes are quite literally bs.
I'm sure you know this, but we need video/pictures these events. DOGE was in the FCC yesterday working with IT and they installed a back door. It's not going to stop unless we shed more light on it and have more proof.
my mini-editorial
A. Can we please follow the money?
B. Can we please get money; and the money-power-influence-peddling-complex -which used to be know as the academic and military industrial complex- out of politics?

It looks like a stark leap from the outside, but there has been increasing influence from lobbiests, and a revolving door from the seats to corporate jobs.
It's been a creeping moral degregation.
All roads lead back and thru lobbying, must look deep. Study https://opensecrets.org. AIPAC, fossil fuel, pharma, banks, and private billionaires. Hint: little sister.
If we ever make it out of this hellscape (and I'm sure we eventually will) the first piece of legislation that needs to be passed in one that kills off the Citizens United ruling.
And the farmers who had these contracts are also going to be left with perishable products with no market. Some will go at local markets but much will end up wasted. Sad and short- sighted policies.
It's political theatre. Only the Senate with a 2/3 majority vote can impeach a judge. Democrats should introduce articles of impeachment for ClaencebThomas. They never fail to miss an opportunity to own the GOP.
It's been obvious for years, but none of you could see it. Putin's Russia took over the Republican Party. Musk was the next Russian asset thawed early due to the desperation of the moment.
If this is the level of blatant bullying and bribery that is done out in the open, just imagine the more discreet stuff that goes undiscovered. Still wondering what Elon and Putin discussed during all of their private pre-election conversations. He knows voting machines better than anyone, right?
Given the number of senators needed to impeach a federal judge, that investment is woefully inadequate to meet the stated goal and in fact--looks about as smart as sinking money into Tesla right now.
Might make a good penny stock, in a couple of months, though. Lot of upside in that.
And then there are SuperPACS, which don’t divulge donors… Musk is anything but law abiding. He’s an opportunist who uses essentially any and all ways that help him obtain his petty and manipulative goals.
We need to overhaul campaign finance, including ridding ourselves of Citizens United, which came about when Dems attempted reign in spending to $2,500/campaign. SuperPACS were yet another way of hiding identities of donors.
We need to overhaul the whole process. Candidates should put the money where their mouth is and show us how they’ll better the country vs running ads etc. (pick a cause and deliver results). Even die hard MAGA folks I know who I’ve suggested this to were all for it. I can dream…
So then, that makes them complicit with Musk's high treason, thus guilty of the same charge, & also thus their votes should not legally count anymore anywhere in this country.
I hate them for it. Greedy bastards lust for the land and the resources in our wonderful National Parks. Never mind that they are national treasures and refuges.
Maybe another reason why the Furher is threatening to destroy our country and annex us. That and most of our politicians aren’t kissing his ass like he requires.
The GOP in Congress never wanted to actually govern. Even when in power, they act like the Dems are in charge. Trump and Musk taking powers away from Congress works for them because they never wanted to govern.
Talk about a swamp! Musk is making the biggest swamp ever imagined and he’s just started. How many illegal things has he, DOGE, Trump, Bode and Hegseth done in just the past week??? Congress needs to Impeach ASAP.
“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.”
Democrats. Stop listening to your (overpaid) consultants and start listening to the people. It really is simple. People want a Government that’s working for THEM- not for big corporations and the billionaire class
Each one of those members should be ashamed. Voters should remember, and if they vote for them they support fascism and oligarchs.
Musk is a traitor to the country and constitution.
I wonder when (not if) The Felon invokes the Insurrection Act for some lame-ass reason and orders - in word or in effect - an indefinite closure of the federal courts.
They keep talking about “corrupt” judges when all they have to do is pass legislation for him to sign but they don’t want the accountability on their hands so they get legal challenges instead. It’s their fault they’re in this mess and we’re the victims until it gets sorted out.
That’s true, but they only need 51 votes to close USAID, DoE, etc and layoff legally. But they don’t. Instead they fail to do their job and blame the judges when the wrong way to do govt doesn’t go their way. They should forever have to have their vote recorded as being for the damage they’re doing.
Sissy space man baby does have the money to hire people to be staging all these Teslas destruction.. He cries on TV , blaming ActBlue to get stupid MAGAs to buy stock and cars. Every accusation is a confession from these idiots
The biggest welfare sissy baby’s crying on TV “They basically wanna kill me because I’m stopping their fraud’. You’re the fraud! ! You’re rich because of us! You fraudulent man baby.
If the funds are accepted, they will certainly look like they are selling their votes. America is not for sale. Elon and the these members of Congress need that explained to them.
A major newspaper should do a daily fraud and abuse counter for this administration. It's horrifying the fraud, abuse, and constitutional violations this sham administration is doing in the name of rooting out so-called fraud and abuse
This is just gross! Did they think they could keep that hidden? How many are getting donations from Putin through shell companies? Someone needs to release Smiths report on Trump and foreign connections. That has been kept confidential.
You know he got it cheap; I mean I could have put together a private equity deal 500 mil for the US plus a couple of more after we were in -and I don’t know a lot about private equity

We’re now a shithole country run by a South African immigrant.
Musk is a traitor to the country and constitution.
Your shirts are ‘sold out’ on your website, so y’all must be doing alright.
If you’re truly a non-profit, you’ll show your numbers for full transparency.
That individual is outrageously dangerous.
