This is what I hate the most: the vicious treatment of decent people, and the smears - WHILE you're firing them and turning their lives upside down. It's heartless and evil, and I'll never forgive Musk for doing it.

Senate Republicans just launched an all-night voting spree to rip apart Medicaid and starve kids—all so they can hand more cash to billionaires like Elon Musk. They’re doing this while most people aren’t watching. Absolutely disgraceful.

Another terrible reminder of Trump’s vile actions. Russia is losing. Now is the time to pressure the Kremlin. Not the time to capitulate. Russia often loses more soldiers in a day than the US lost in Afghanistan in two decades.

This is a great visualization and finding. And note how the biggest outlier is the one they immediately reversed once they realized the nuclear weapons people probably aren't all that woke. Not because they realized it was essential. Because they realized they'd mistargeted their political purge.

I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.

The Constitution gives Congress power to establish the U.S. Postal Service. It did, by law, during the Washington administration. Its status as an independent agency was established by Congress in law. USPS is wildly popular with the American people and its service is essential and irreplaceable.

Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal. X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers. That’s extortion.

NOTICE THE COMMON THREAD?: Elections keep going Deep State, we have to find a workaround; the constitution is being gamed by "legacy media"/Deep State, so we need to give "power of the purse" to Elon. The solution is always the same. Elon needs to be in charge of it.

The single biggest mistake anti-Trumpers are making in resisting DOGE is the desperation to accede to the need for reform of government. MUSK'S OWN COMPANIES are hellholes ridden with corruption and waste and violations of the law. People should be on the ATTACK against private sector misconduct.
