I was just outside the Treasury Department where Elon Musk has launched a full scale authoritarian takeover. My message to Musk is simple: get your hands off our money and get the hell out.

This is a really bad law. If it passes many Americans could lose their votes.

Setting artificial targets for immigration arrests doesn't make our communities safer. It forces law enforcement to divert resources from serious violent crime, white collar crime, drug trafficking & civil rights crimes to go after non-violent immigration offenses. Bad motives & bad priorities.

The GOP’s new bill requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is a solution in search of a problem. Only U.S. citizens vote, with vanishingly rare exceptions. Even though the problem is fictional, the threat of disenfranchising millions of eligible Americans is very real.

Notable that troops still in support roles (which they have been doing for years). Will be interesting to see how courts react to the BS interpretation of the public health pretext. Trump shuts off access to asylum, plans to send 10,000 troops to border

Let’s not lose sight of why the govt actually banned tiktok and what the inciting incident was for Democrats to take up the charge. It was speech on the app related to Gaza. Drop Site News has been doing great reporting on this x.com/dropsitenews...
