Musk’s and Rubio’s deliberate gutting of USAID and the lives it’s ending every hour… hartmannreport.com/p/can-we-sur...

The idea that Musk now opposes Trump’s major policies and legislation is such an obvious corporate PR campaign full of lies it’s almost insulting. One of Trump’s things is always blurting out the truth. And Trump simply admitted at the “goodbye”press conference that Musk wasn’t really leaving.

There's still basically no evidence for Musk "stepping away" from politics besides his own claims, yet the Times keeps repeating the lie to help him - sometime contradicting their own reporters. Don't print lies in the newspaper.

No one message is the answer. The thing is to get the democrats and liberalism in general off its ass and doing multiple things. Most will fail. The point is to try shit until something works.

At the risk of being canceled—if Democrats really think they shouldn’t attack Elon Musk for his rampant drug use while he was acting-president because it ‘disparages drug addicts’, their 16% approval rating is way too high.

If a serious person wanted to balance the budget, they would 1. Raise taxes and make them progressive, 2. Institute Medicare for All or something similar, 3. Cut wasteful defense spending, 4. Fully fund the IRS. Republicans are doing the exact opposite.

Again, all of this is wildly illegal, unconstitutional, & a violation of core legal principles of the sanctity of contracts & property rights, & all of these fake government employees should be arrested & thrown in jail immediately.

Nothing going on is that hard to understand as long as someone with some credibility has the desire to explain it and the space to do so and I’m glad this NBC station did this for their viewers

Republicans try to sell the idea that safety comes from acting tough, but in reality, safety comes from competence and Trump regime incompetence is going to kill an awful lot of Americans.

FEMA’s incompetence during Hurricane Katrina cratered Bush’s approval rating. Trump’s FEMA will be even more incompetent.

"Musk is a greedy kleptocrat whose life’s work boils down to stealing from the poor to pad his own bottom line. That’s his legacy. He could’ve changed the world for the better; he had every resource available to him to do so. Instead, he made it markedly worse."

The Trump Administration is just doing this with no debate or justification. The media needs to cover it, Democrats need to oppose it and we all need to speak out loudly.

Losing a public servant to investment banking. Funny how investors don't pretend climate change is "fake" or a "hoax." JPMorgan hired NOAA’s chief scientist to advise clients on navigating climate change
