Trump has no idea what he is doing or saying. He signs Executive orders that are put in front of him with a one sentence explanation. Then he forgets them like he forgot or didn't even realize he pardoned violent J6 felons. Musk is running the show.

Elon Musk is serving as Trump’s hatchetman, slashing government spending on everything from dying babies in warzones to Americans displaced by natural disasters. Meanwhile, Musk himself is a “walking conflict of interest,” whose companies are raking in more federal dollars.

The IRS was a simple test for DOGE: was it really interested in efficiency and state capacity? If so, you support the tax enforcement, the biggest ROI in govt. Or did it want to minimize parts of the state that bothered billionaires? We have our answer. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID! Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

As someone who’s worked on these kinds of cases, I can tell you that you don’t conclusively establish fraud in a couple of days just by storming the Bastile. What they’re probably finding is programs they don’t like—the ones that help real people and make our lives better.

Trump said he’ll announce today that the United States will impose 25% tariffs (i.e., import taxes) on ALL steel and aluminum imports, including from Canada and Mexico, as well as other import duties later in the week. Buckle up for a LOT more rising prices and higher inflation rates, folks!

This right here. This is what the President of the United States SHOULD say right now. Not comment on the cause of the crash. Not assign blame for the crash. Not engage in conspiracies. This right here is what a leader, what a good person says. Thank you Barack Obama.👇

A horrible mid-air collision. 67 souls dead. And as bodies were just pulled from the water, as family members are being notified, Trump casts blame. He blames Biden & Obama. He blames brown & black air traffic controllers. He. Blames. Brown. And. Black. People. Shame on us for putting him in power.

Of course the fake President promoted fake news when he blamed (without facts) Biden,his NTSB appointee, Dei hires, instead of allowing the investigation to proceed as usual which takes months or years some times. Typical Trump
