Elon Musk’s weekly “5 things” emails for federal employees were never about efficiency — they were about finding an excuse to fire veterans and steal their salaries for billionaire tax cuts. Musk losing influence over Trump and Republicans isn’t enough. Fire Elon Musk.

Why would Donald Trump give Atlantic reporters an interview? Parker and Scherer say, “From the first phone call...this has been for him a negotiation...for Donald Trump,..everything he engages in is a transaction, and he's pretty good at figuring out where his advantage is."

There are those that will tell you that signing a petition or participating in a protest won’t matter. Remind them that the Declaration of Independence was just a petition signed by 56 people. And the Boston Tea Party was just a protest rally.
