DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

It seems to be ignored that Musk is behind in the AI race, yet at the same moment he announces his newest AI release he has unfettered access to every ounce of citizen data needed to train it for maximum psychological and economic persecution of everyone who dissents.

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol. We held back Putin’s invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children.

If Pam Bondi wants to dismiss the Eric Adams indictment, she can just do it herself. She is the attorney general, she doesn’t need to have a line prosecutor do it for her. But they want to be able to say a career person did it.

From Bondi to Bove to Blanche to Sauer, this DOJ is literally (not figuratively) just Trump’s law firm—all top positions are held by his personal lawyers, and he’s asserted the “right” to corruptly plot cases with them—and not a whit more Any American who accepts this will understand what’s coming

Inflation is soaring. The GOP plans to raise the debt ceiling by $4 TRILLION. The stock market is tanking. And Republicans are planning to give billionaires PERMANENT tax breaks. What exactly is going on? Mr. Musk, you are duly invited to the Oversight Committee to explain what is going on.

NEW: The loophole allows buyers of tax-subsidized low-income housing to raise rents on new and existing tenants far sooner than the law typically requires. Some 115,000 apartments in the U.S. have lost rent restrictions as a result, per one estimate.

Crockett: "I understand when people say they are concerned about our debt, as they should be. But if you really want to look at the problem, it's probably with the Trump administration. We know that that administration, the last time they were in, ran our debt up an additional $8 trillion."

The complete failure of Republicans in Congress to exercise their power as a check on the executive branch is national disgrace. But the courts are doing their job and may yet protect democracy from Trump.
