If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

The top health care companies in America spent 95% of their profits to make their CEOs & stockholders obscenely rich. How many Americans would be alive today if those companies spent $2.6 trillion on disease prevention and primary care, instead of stock buybacks and dividends?

Republicans want to slash Medicaid — a death sentence for thousands of Americans. Medicaid provides health care to more than 37 million kids, funding for 2/3 of seniors in nursing homes & is 40% of the revenue for community health centers. We must EXPAND Medicaid, not cut it.

Elon Musk’s team is set to delve into the nation’s aviation system, with his 20-year-old staffers utilizing AI to assist the FAA in a rapid overhaul of aviation technology. However, a more practical solution would be to simply hire more workers, as the FAA is severely short-staffed.

While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.

Musk and his team have hostilely taken over OPM. Tonight’s email to fed employees mirrors the “Fork in the Road” message sent to Twitter (now X) staff after Musk’s 2022 takeover. He is working with the Trump administration to build profiles on federal workers based on loyalty (political standing).
