Musk is no genius. He’s just a hype man who makes big claims and can’t deliver. Time and time again, Musk and his lackeys lie about what their cuts actually accomplish. Instead of saving taxpayers money, Musk is pocketing $8 million a day in contracts. How’s your 401K looking?

Sanders stands as the only elected progressive mounting a national campaign against Trump. His crowds - 4,000 in Kenosha, 2,600 in Altoona, Wisconsin, and 9,000 in suburban Detroit - exceed his own team’s expectations.

A shadowy group of unelected figures reshaping the federal government to their own benefit from the inside? Sounds familiar! Executive Editor of News Brian Barrett on how DOGE is the deep state.

Lech Walesa, who led Poland to freedom from Communist control, wrote that Trump's humiliation of Zelensky in the Oval Office reminded him "of interrogations at the hands of the Security Service and the courtrooms of Communist tribunals." @yarotrof.bsky.social www.wsj.com/world/trump-...

“US Senator Chris Van Hollen challenged the crowd, some in white lab coats if only for show, to live up to the mad scientist moniker: “Everybody in America should be mad about what we are witnessing.” The crowd was.
