So Musk’s people, who misread $8 million as $8 billion, who counted the same contracts multiple times and counted as savings programs that ended last year, claim that their AI is finding lots of Social Security fraud. Why should anyone worry?

Everyone knows what happened here. Trump can only exist around people he can causally humiliate. Guys lie JD and Rubio. He wanted to do a ritual humiliation of Zelensky and Ukraine but Zelensky wouldn’t accept that and so Trump reacted like a stung bitch.

One thing to keep in mind as the Trump administration moves to downsize government: The size of an agency's staff often isn't set by law. But there's a very long list of things agencies are required by law to do, and cutting the workforce doesn't make those obligations go away.

Ok, but real talk? The sort of low-engagement persuadable Trump voter you need to flip is not going to sit through a serious policy argument, and would not understand it if they did. “He’s calling himself a king” they can understand. So run with it.

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

Conservatives have it wrong -- a bigger government isn't as much of a threat as a smaller one. Because "big government" means there are more barriers, more hoops for a dangerous lawmaker to go through; smaller government is more efficient, making it easier for that danger to enact a menacing agenda.
