Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

On the US siding with Russia against Ukraine and Europe, I’m as appalled as anyone, but my reaction to the shock and surprise is “it’s about time you caught up.” Trump’s Putin sympathy, along with Vance’s, Musk’s, and MAGA media’s, has been consistent. Finally now others’ wishful thinking can stop.
