When Nixon's unconstitutional crimes were revealed in the early 1970s, a large portion of the public (including many Republicans) looked upon his actions with horror & disgust, like he'd violated a sacred trust.

DOGE laying off dedicated employees at a time when the U.S. economy leads the world feels similar to corporations raking in billions from stock buybacks while slashing jobs. It’s the same sleazy corporate playbook—now creeping into our government.

This article understates the danger of the Musk-Trump lies on Social Security. They will claim massive fraud as a justification to massively cut, which helps them with tax cuts for the wealthiest. No, there are not millions of dead people receiving SS checks. www.ksat.com/news/politic...

New in PN: Unelected billionaire breaks laws to "restore" democracy "In reality, most of what Musk is up to is flatly illegal.

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.
