Trump draws strong support from farm states. But his enthusiasm for increasing taxes on all imported products could ignite a global trade war that boomerangs on American farmers, the principal targets of foreign retaliation in Trump’s first term.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

For the first weeks, Americans seemed frozen, expecting institutions to do something. Americans were used to “checks and balances” and “guardrails” working. That didn’t happen. People realized that they had to take matters into their own hands… open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

Breaking News: Elon Musk said federal workers must summarize their accomplishments for the week in an email or be forced to leave, a tactic he used after buying Twitter. Follow live updates.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Just like we shouldn’t be firing FAA employees when commercial airliners are flipping upside down.

Says the guy who won't even respond to the mothers of his own children

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

All federal workers will shortly receive an email asking what they did last week — and that if employees fail to respond, it will be taken as a resignation, Elon Musk wrote in a post on X Saturday.

The federal agency responsible for traffic safety, which has been investigating self-driving technology in Tesla vehicles, will fire a “modest” number of employees, an agency spokesman said Friday.

Nick misses the old days when the Nazis were more competent.

NYC's sizeable but scattered progressive wing is hoping to capitalize on Eric Adams’ increasing vulnerability to elect one of several left-leaning candidates for mayor. But no definite frontrunner has appeared. Instead, New Yorkers could see a familiar name atop the ballot: Andrew Cuomo.

If someone wanted to destroy the United States from within, would they do anything differently than what Trump is doing right now?

This is resistance.

It’s a cult.

200 million dollars of waste.

He nails it.

Despite facing declining poll numbers and growing constituent unrest, Trump is now publicly urging Elon Musk to intensify his efforts.

Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service claimed this week to have saved an estimated $55 billion through a combination of layoffs, canceled contracts, lease renegotiations and other actions. But a list that it posted of contracts and leases suggests that number is inflated.

At CPAC, a new group pushed for Donald Trump to serve an unconstitutional third term. The effort, called the Third Term Project, is being led by Shane Trejo. He once co-hosted a neo-Nazi adjacent podcast called “Blood Soil and Liberty.”

After a lifetime on the frontiers of the fight against HIV, researchers can finally see the end of the epidemic in sight. But thanks to the Trump administration’s executive orders, it’s unclear when—or possibly even ever—this breakthrough medicine will see the light of day.

Donald Trump's hunger for power was clearly displayed Friday in a brief exchange with Gov. Janet Mills (D-Maine). But of course, his "we are the federal law" is a big change from his many, many years of campaigning on "states' rights."

We can agree that it's shameful if it comes to fruition. I dont think there is any chance it does. I don't understand why people don't believe Zelensky is as good a negotiator as Mexico or Canada. He knows you give Trump the PR win and move on

The Trump administration abruptly dismissed the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and other senior officers on Friday night, as the Pentagon moves to bring the military’s leadership in line with its “America First” agenda.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

Amen to that.

This has been my point for weeks about what Musk is after. Consolidated data from the biggest mine of information in the world. He’s so thirsty for data he’d get his hands on the nuclear codes if he could. Could he? www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

The fatal shooting of a US border patrol agent in Vermont. The stabbing death of a landlord in California. An elderly couple murdered in Pennsylvania. Who are the so-called Zizians, the group allegedly linked to all these killings? buff.ly/3ENqfa5

Stephen Bannon made a gesture that a far-right French leader and others likened to a Nazi salute when he was giving a speech outside Washington on Thursday. He also suggested that President Trump pursue a constitutionally prohibited third term.

This is what true politicization of the DoJ looks like.

It’s tough to get crushed this bad. On the app he owns too. Embarrassing.
