Trump declares a "National Energy Emergency" on Day One, claiming lack of energy access—in same orders he also rolls back support for EVs. Nothing says #EnergyCrisis like making it harder to switch to clean energy EVs while opening up Alaska to oil drilling. The irony is thick. #ClimateCrisis

We’re getting a sneak peak of governing in the Trump/Musk era. Spoiler: it’s ugly. Johnson is presiding over a trainwreck. Musk killed the CR & now Trump’s demanding a debt ceiling hike? Stock market is tanking. Government will likely shut down. This isn’t governance—it’s chaos. Change my mind👇

Best parallel I can think of is if we tried to invade Canada because we thought Vancouver was basically ours, the entire US military got tied up in the forest, then Blackwater turned on us and started heading towards DC overnight, except Blackwater was financed by Rachael Ray.
