They are flooding the zone. Do not consent to being flooded. One of these things is not like the others. Musk’s anti-constitutional coup is of supreme importance, because it would unravel the republic itself. We need to focus. And need a media that can name reality. the.ink/p/focus-on-t...

If Dems want to regain any credibility or have any hope of winning another election: - Call for the arrest of Elon Musk (!) - Treat Trump's presidency as constitutionally illegitimate #14thNOW - Call for impeachment and any legal pathway for immediate removal - Boost peaceful mass protests ⤵️

NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs. Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."

Of course ending birthright citizenship is blatantly unconstitutional. So is a third term in office. But I thought the same thing about presidential criminal immunity and holding office after inciting an insurrection. The obvious is not so obvious anymore.
