Texas christian school CFO, Rory Waide, has been arrested for child grooming. www.newswest9.com/article/news...

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

"What surprises me most is how the political press generally fails to inform the public that Musk is taking a systematic approach, one that has been outlined in public forums for years." @gilduran.com TheNerdReich www.thenerdreich.com/reboot-elon-...

Yep

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result? Demagoguery and corruption.

#budgetreply #auspol #Dutton signs your children’s and grandkids death warrant. Drill, baby, drill. Drive, baby, drive. Pollute, baby, pollute. And big business pigs at the trough on taxpayers $. This spud wants to bake us all with higher temperatures,more bushfires and floods. #ausvotes #auspol2025

What the actual fuck:

"we are currently clean on OPSEC", you write to the group chat with the journalist

NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!” @USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?” NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY* (not sure this went quite as he planned 😬)

Boss level move!

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.  Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.  Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

Ayup. THIS is what the fuck is up currently

UPDATE: From the original poster of the letter on FB:

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

Trump Allows Elon Musk to Bully The Department of Education into cutting 50% of its workforce www.cnn.com/2025/03/11/p...

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

The Trump-Musk Regime is reportedly planning to cut as much as 50% of the IRS workforce. Make no mistake: this will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163 billion a year. Hello?

#Fightback ✊🏼💙✊🏼 #resist

While Trump & Musk DOGE cut the federal workforce and federal contracts leaving THOUSANDS of Americans UNEMPLOYED, Elon Musk & his family are flying for FREE on Air Force. MUSK is a BILLIONAIRE!! Why are OUR taxes paying for this? THIS is fraud, waste, & abuse. tribune.com.pk/story/253234...

Nothing screams HYPOCRITE quite like Trump complaining about & gutting school loan forgiveness for grads dedicated to service & bettering our communities while he’s had HUNDREDS of MILLIONS in debt forgiven due bankruptcy 6 times. tinyurl.com/r6nkkz3j

Tom Friedman on point here, though he understated the case. Either Trump is the worse negotiator in all the universes of truth and fiction, or he is beginning an alliance with Russia with a joint attempt to subjugate Ukraine (and then much else). www.nytimes.com/2025/03/04/o...

ICYMI: Trump has dropped investigations and enforcement actions against 89 lawbreaking corporations, including: -42 cases at the CFPB -15 cases at the DOJ -6 cases at the EEOC -7 crypto cases at the SEC It's a new golden age for corporate criminals.

Legal counsel representing federal employees is now being targeted by the Trump administration. Law firms are receiving a clear message that retaliation is possible for those advocating on behalf of individuals or groups opposing the administration’s agenda.

Well said!

George Washington saw farther and much more clearly in 1796 than Trump’s appeasers see in 2025

A reminder that Elon Musk's corporations were promised $3 billion across nearly 100 different contracts last year with 17 federal agencies. While DOGE cuts essential services for you, Musk is getting a taxpayer-funded windfall.

THIS SHOULD BE BREAKING NEWS! The steps to make the military a personal army is happening in real time. Wake the hell up and hold republicans accountable for confirming this nightmare.
