“What a lie,” Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen wrote on X Thursday, in reply to Musk parroting the talking point yet again on Fox News. “And from someone who complains about lack of honesty from the mainstream media.”

Here we go. Certain generals must be removed before any martial law plan is put into action—as Trump and Hegseth are worried there may still be some generals out there who support the Constitution rather than his proposed dictatorship. This is a political purge intended as a precursor to far more.

It's kind of amusing how all the stories about this hearing report that both Emil Bove for DOJ and Adams's attorney denied there was any quid pro quo agreement. So the parties to a corrupt deal deny there was any corrupt deal. What a shocker. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/n...

Take note of the messaging - this is both accurate and deeply unpopular. It's the kind of thing that forces GOP House members to quietly tell their constituents that they too are concerned about Musk. Make them own this. Make them squirm.
