The fact that we can always make gov’t more efficient doesn’t mean that Elon Musk, someone with conflicts of interest everywhere you look, should be running the show. Trump could have started with the inspectors general, whose job that is, but instead of empowering them, he fired them.

This is EXACTLY what happened in December in the standoff over the funding bill. It’s because Musk is far far vigorous and wily and potent than Trump is.

Real change comes from within If one is changing only to please one's partner or to maintain the relationship the change cannot be sustainable However if they are motivated to change themselves the change is likely to last longer.

A federal court just blocked Elon Musk from interfering with the federal government’s payments system. There is power in fighting back. We won’t let up until this block is permanent.

AOC earns $174K a year, has student debt, and doesn’t trade stocks. Her net worth? Less than $500K. Yet right-wingers spread lies about her wealth while backing actual millionaires in Congress. Even Trump fans admit: “AOC is one of the few not taking kickbacks.”

Meeting folks right at the table, Illinois. Let me tell you all, like I told the folks at Pilot Project and Funkytown Brewery, that we will fight back against Trump’s Tax on Working Families. We’ll work to reduce the effect on businesses like them and their customers.
