Why are we being asked to accept on faith that tRump and Musk are telling the truth about abuse they've found. It's not like neither of them has lied before. tRump lies daily at the podium and Musk lies hourly on Twitter (X). Why hasn't the MSM challenged their assertions and asked for proof?

And the grift goes on... While tRump orders federal workers to return to the office, he spent his fourth straight day at his Mar-a-Lago resort. Whenever he stays there, taxpayers foot the bill for his Secret Service detail and he profits by billing the taxpayers for their room and board.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

The Cambridge Dictionary defines ELITE as "the richest, most powerful, best-educated, or best-trained group in a society." With the exception of "best-educated, or best-trained" who does that most define, tRump & Musk, or the thousands of government workers being laid off by this administration?

By the time the tRumpublican sycophants and the MAGA cult realize and face how wrong they've been about Putin, Musk and the other American oligarchs, the damage to our country will have damaged our country both domestically and internationally for years if not decades to come.
