3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

We know conclusively that at least half the Republicans in Congress strongly disagree with Trump’s foreign policy statements and positions just by comparing their statements with his - which are diametrically opposed. Will ONE of them have to courage to speak up & say something?

Musk claims he discovered that millions of dead people have been paid trillions of dollars in social security money, but Mike Johnson had the House take the week off instead of investigating this extremely serious allegation. If this is true, why are House Rs taking a week off?

There is going to come a time in the very near future where the only way to resolve this is for every non-MAGA media company to band together and simply refuse to walk into the presser or attend the event. Because he wants the coverage more than anything else. Divided you fall.

How odd that when Trump announced his “deal” with Mexico he failed to mention that the US committed to halting the flow of assault weapons from the US to Mexico. Why did he leave that out?

🎖️ President Biden just awarded Earvin "Magic" Johnson, the Medal of Freedom. Magic is a former basketball star, led the Lakers to five championships.

The media freaks out at the prospect of said crazy shit. Trump then wriggles out of doing the crazy shit and—this is the key part—his voters give him credit for the crazy shit anyway. How do we break this cycle? Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social:
