This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Elon Musk thinks he can threaten Canadian workers?    Poilievre is a billionaire bootlicker who won’t stand up to him.    I will.    New Democrats will hit him hard with a 100% Tariff on Tesla – intended to hit him where it hurts.
