Every single paper in the U.S. would be excoriating a Dem President who was golfing while the stock market melted down. We all know this. The editorial boards would be screeching, state tv ie Fox would be playing NONSTOP clips, etc. etc. It's worth remembering.

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!
