This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes. The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

Elon Musk is attempting to shut down government agencies, take over our federal payment systems, and bring our government to a grinding halt. Tell Congress to use every procedural tool they have to stop Trump and Elon Musk’s assault on democracy! action.momsrising.org/sign/stop_el...

Our next president will have to be technologically competent, at least , in order for us to sustain our place in the world. This will become increasingly obvious over the next 4 years as AI gets more powerful This isn’t necessarily bad. Truly. Done right, we will be a better, more equal society

Reviewing Bills proposed in the Texas Legislature this Session, I was surprised to see the anti-Elon Musk below: TRANSPORTATION HB 2244 Cain (R-Round Rock) This bill prevents any state contract for the purchase of EVs if any component was made in China. Rep. Cain must not like Tesla autos. Hummmm

AI will transform our democracy. Now is the time for states to set up guardrails to protect personal data, improve transparency and ensure election security.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Whatever debates there might be about the powers of the three branches of the federal government, if you don’t like a lower court ruling, you appeal it — you don’t ignore it.

Absolutely! Also the Courts must require the attorneys filing their responses for the Trump Administration Defendants to identify by name, job title and contact information, which federal employee(s) are carrying out the Court's Order(s) and what date! Knowledge the Court needs.

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at. You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters. Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

Count me among those disappointed in Senator Susan Collins for supporting Tulsi Gabbard, John F. Kennedy, III, and most other Trump nominations to his Cabinet. Actually, I am also disappointed in Senators who make same decisions for themselves rather then the United States.

USAID is NOT a criminal organization! USAID has positive history. Elon Musk is not a credible person, was not born in USA, is not a birthright citizen (was not born in USA of alien parents, i.e., parents were not USA citizens). Elon Musk wants to make money and/or protect his monetary interests.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are
