A reminder that Elon Musk's corporations were promised $3 billion across nearly 100 different contracts last year with 17 federal agencies. While DOGE cuts essential services for you, Musk is getting a taxpayer-funded windfall.

Dear Elon/Donald, Sometimes, it's not what you DID that's important, but what you didn't do. This week I didn't: -Make a Nazi salute -Sell out democracy for money & power -Extort Ukraine for their resources -Dance in a drug-induced haze at CPAC -Decimate US health, science, & education funding

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

Let’s be 100% clear. The postal service is literally in the Constitution, explicitly assigned as a congressional power. If Congress wants to abolish or privatize it, that’s up to Congress. The President can’t just wake up one day and do it on his own.
