Thanks, Donald. Much appreciated. Glad to hear you have the country’s back.Then again, you do have a tendency to accuse others of what you’re guilty of. It’s called “accusation in a mirror.” www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Many of my earliest memories are of having polio as a child. They aren’t good memories. It was a lonely and difficult time. Confirming Kennedy is not only stupid. It’s cruel. How did America get so dumb? The only Republican Senator to vote against was McConnell. He knows. He had polio as a child.

This isn’t about ‘limiting government spending.” It’s about wiping out Public Education, replacing it with a for-profit system, and creating an oligarchy where all the money and power goes to the top and the rest are left powerless and impoverished. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/u...

And this is the kind of guy working for Musk as he tries to overthrow the government. It’s so obvious who surrounds Musk and is doing his/Trump/Heritage Foundation dirty work. thehill.com/business/513...

Heather Cox Richardson surmises that Trump really Isn’t calling the shots at this point. Virtually all the Executive Orders are straight out of Project 2025 and Musk and his 19-23 year old henchmen coders are doing the dirty work of destroying the government and holding your financial data hostage.

Great interview with AOC. A lot on Democratic Party failings. Trump/MAGA always know how Democrats will react. They’re predictable. Analog to the MAGA’s UFC. More Roberts Rules of Order than delivering results. Get workers on the Board of Directors! No insider trading! m.youtube.com/watch?v=eehe...

NEW: The American people are turning against Elon Musk. His approval rating has plummeted to -11 from +29 in 2016, per a new Quinnipiac poll. 53% oppose him having a key role in a Trump admin, with just 39% in support—dropping to 36% among independents.

Congress can’t do it all. We need a Million Patriot March across the country to protest the Musk coup and Trump’s betrayal of his Constitutional oath. Perhaps with a No Business As Usual strike and Wall St. demonstration. Soon. Also organized boycotts of Tesla, Amazon, X, Trump businesses, etc.

New via NYT — The CIA sent the White House an unclassified email listing all employees hired by the spy agency over the last two years to comply with an executive order to shrink the federal work force. One former agency officer called the reporting of names a “counterintelligence disaster.”

MAGA doesn’t have to pass any bills that are widely unsupported by the American people and suffer the electoral fallout while Musk/DOGE, unelected and not established by Congress, does the dirty work for them.

The whole culture war smokescreen is allowing Musk and a handful of Billionaires to weaken the country’s standing with their interests filling in the global power vacuum. Congress? They’re irrelevant.

While we were focused on Trump’s tariff war (most of which never happened) and his preposterous blaming of disabled people for the DC air crash Musk was taking over.

For God’s sake, get off the culture war smokescreen. Heather cox Richardson just nailed it. Summation-it’s a coup, folks. Elon Musk and his DOGE staff has taken over the U.S. Treasury and its economic affairs as payback for the $290 million he spent on Trump’s reelection.

I’ve had the same experience. The MAGA people I grew up with live in a state of denial because admitting the truth would shatter their identity and too much of what they believe in.

Trump’s pandemic response was bad enough. Now he’s dropped the World Health Organization and shut up the HHS and CDC while nominating conspiracy theorist RFK Jr., as HHS Secretary. The Kansas TB outbreak looks low risk but Lord help us if another pandemic arises. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...
