Huge thank you to Montana for this heartwarming tribute. For those that don't know the history, he quit his job managing a billion dollar family fund in 2018 rather than stop criticizing Elon Musk, after Elon himself called his boss to complain. This piece means so much more, coming from him.

Yeah. To put it into perspective, if Trump is permitted to rearrange the post office, he is also permitted to rearrange the lower federal courts however he likes. Both are spelled out as "The Congress shall have Power" in Art I, Sec 8. And there's more too, like armies and the militia, second pic.

“Since being sworn in for the second time … the president has reportedly spent all four weekends on the green, and played golf at his own properties on nine of his first 30 days in office.” I’m sure this senior would be golfing daily if he could but he ran for president just to stay out of prison.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?
