I keep thinking of how this year began with a burning Tesla Cybertruck (and a suicide) in front of a Trump hotel in Vegas. 2025 is continuing that same energy. Elon and Milei laughing dementedly over a chainsaw is not the meme they think it is.

From the Admin that purports to support free speech, this baseless “Operation” is only meant to chill free speech. There is no predication for the FBI to open this investigation. The DOJ IG must monitor this closely — it appears to violate Department guidelines.
