Elon’s preteen exec team isn’t just inexperienced—they’re a national security risk. The way they’re operating, I’d be shocked if they weren’t all married to Russian assets by year’s end. Foreign influence and espionage thrive in chaos, and there’s plenty to go around.

The American economy just added 256,000 jobs in December, and unemployment fell to 4.1%. Trump is inheriting one of the strongest economies for an incoming President in generations. And despite destroying our economy in his first term, Trump will try to take the credit for this boom. Don't let him.

Teachers. Firefighters. Cops. After 44 years of Reagan’s cuts to their Social Security, Joe Biden just restored their benefits. This win for working people came thanks to unions, President Biden, and bipartisan support led by former Rep. Abigail Spanberger.
