GOP, remember when Biden gave George Soros control over the system that pays Social Security, Medicare, tax refunds & federal contracts—then used it to cut off anyone he didn’t like? Me neither, because that never happened. But it’s what Trump & Elon Musk are doing now w/out congressional approval.

So Musk is using a “budget cutting” committee as a front to gain access to classified information to gain a competitive advantage over his competitors, while the CCP is also one of his most important business partners. Worth every penny of that PAC money.

Today, MAGA is losing it over this video of Pete Hegseth SLAMMING Trump. “All bluster, very low substance… he’s an armchair tough guy. He said that John McCain is not a war hero yet he sought his own five military deferments.” RT to ruin Trump’s day!
