I'd like to bring this video to your attention. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyco... It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

Van Hollen: "There's no Article 4 in the Constitution that gives Elon Musk that authority, and the way he's been 'delegated' this authority is illegal, and the actions he's taking are illegal, and we need to shut down this illegal operation."

These people were not even funded by taxpayers. The sloppiness of DOGE is an embarrassment to the US. This is NOT how things are done in the private sector. It is careless, irresponsible and cruel. Where is the due diligence from this “meritocracy” folks? Sad! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/h...

Young voters really don't like Elon Musk. His unfavorability is 54% with all voters. 67% with voters under 30. Feels important for a party that needs to win a much bigger share of young voters.
