I am a highly trained and extremely skilled communicator. I have absolutely no idea how to talk to someone who believes that a 27 year old with $75,000 of student loans working to make sure drinking water is safe is an out of touch elite, but Elon Musk is fighting for them.

Looking at some survey data here. Trump/Elon cutting off all cancer cure research is the issue that freaks voters out more than any other, also the one they've heard the least about. Important for voters to hear more about this.

A lot of people on here keep fantasizing about the moment Trump "fires" Elon Musk because Musk has stepped out too far in front of him and I'm sure that feels good, but after watching the last Musk/Trump presser I think it's worth considering that we are essentially watching a coup via elder abuse.

Musk, Trump, and Vance are really trying to dismantle the Constitutional order using the "no true Scotsman" logical fallacy. "Any judge who impedes us is no true judge." Arendt was right about the banality of evil.

February is the month of sick season that I start to fully lose the plot. February is the reason I have a nervous breakdown every September. February is when you have called in every favor and now everyone hates you, your body is too unwell to care, and you’ve done 800 loads of puke laundry.

"Social security numbers, home addresses, bank accounts. Why does DOGE need all of that?" Trump: "Well it doesn't, but they get it very easily."
