Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

These people all have actual conflicts of interest that should keep them from working on any investigations like this. It's a measure of how tainted and corrupt this Justice Department is becoming and it breaks my heart. I hope it doesn't break our country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Musk’s whole intention, clearly. First he gave it free “to help”, then Ukraine discovered it wouldn’t be free. Now it’s there it’s a threat tactic. Musk must be Putinized too.
