One day, you voted for the last time, and you didn't even know it.

Do you make less than $360,000 a year? Your taxes are about to go UP. And you have Trump, Musk, and the Republicans to thank for it.

Even Elon Musk's own AI knows what Musk is really doing.

BREAKING - The Dow just had its worst drop since March 2020 — at the beginning of Covid Back then it was a pandemic mismanaged by Trump Now it’s tariffs and inflation mismanaged by Trump Watch out — Trump is giving America economic Covid

Here’s the hard truth: this country’s people are tired of subsidizing billionaires. Want your cars to sell? Do it without subsidies. Want to shoot rockets into space? Get by without govt contracts. Want to build a website? Build your own internet first. We are DONE with you.

BREAKING: Trump’s approval rating collapses. Only 37% of independents approve of Trump’s performance as President. America is rejecting Trump — and the more people realize how badly he’s doing, the worse his numbers will get.

Biden capped insulin at $35/mo -- Republicans are now undoing it Biden capped inhaler at $35/mo -- Republicans are now undoing it Biden stopped banks from hurting you with overdraft fees -- Republicans are now undoing it Trump, Musk, and the GOP are RAISING your costs

In 1938, Nazi Germany held "peace talks" about Czechoslovakia with England, France, and Italy. The Czechs were not there. In 2025, Putin's Russia is holding "peace talks" about Ukraine with the US and Saudi Arabia. The Ukrainians are not there.

Dear Republican members of Congress from NY and NJ: Do you support Trump and Musk's 20% cut to vital healthcare for 9/11 survivors, firefighters, police officers, first responders, and rescue workers? Please explain. Right now. Sincerely, We the People

On 9/11, Trump called into Fox News -- to brag about how one of his buildings was now the tallest in lower Manhattan Now, Trump is slashing healthcare for 9/11 victims and first responders He doesn't care about America -- he only cares about HIMSELF THE WHOLE THING IS A CON

BREAKING: Trump and Musk just CUT funding for 9/11 survivors -- and firefighters, police, and first responders The World Trade Center Health Program was just cut by 20% and forced to lay off staff -- and slash critical care So much for NEVER FORGET.

What Trump promised: - helping reduce cost of living - helping working class folks generally What Trump is delivering: - costs keep going up, up, up - working class folks losing their jobs - healthcare and medication costs explode - yet Elon Musk is getting MILLIONS in govt $

BREAKING: Utah BANNING firefighters, police, teachers, and other govt workers from negotiating for better pay and benefits for them and their families This is MAGA: 1) False promises to help people against elites 2) Destroy middle class workers and families -- to benefit elites

Trump's top priorities: - racists - rapists - Russians

This cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social is getting banned on Twitter. Because of course it is.

First the Super Bowl. Now the Daytona 500. He's not a real president -- he just plays one on TV. And it's costing the American people TENS OF MILLIONS in extra, unnecessary, wasteful spending. Maybe THAT is what "DOGE" should be cutting?

Donald Trump just quoted Napoleon. Napoleon was a dictator, who seized power in a violent coup at gun and cannon point. He then invaded all his neighbors, citing patriotic duty, resulting in 3 to 6 MILLION people dying -- obliterating his army and country in the process.

Trump is running America like a business. Like the 6 businesses he drove into bankruptcy -- and the 60 more that failed and shut down.

67 fake bomb threats on Election Day 2024. Almost all of them targeting heavily Democratic cities — which had lower turnout than in 2020. Many of the threats were clearly traced to Russia. And the mainstream media and establishment have somehow COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN.

Zelensky is only half-right. The American people are still committed to our alliance with Europe, and specifically Ukraine. The US -- like Europe -- is under attack from Russia and has been partially captured by Russian collaborators. But we will defeat them.

On Thursday, Trump and Musk tried to fire 300 government nuclear officials. Today, they realized those officials oversee the US nuclear arsenal — and they scurried to rehire the officials.

Do NOT open your door for any authority unless they have a warrant — from a court, signed by a judge. NO warrant, NO entry. If they arrest you, you ALWAYS have the right to remain silent, even if they don’t read you any rights. The ONLY thing to say: “I want a lawyer.”

Every single attorney who advocates for the defiance of court orders should be DISBARRED. Immediately. Every. Single. One.

Gotta love it when the US Secretary of Defense mouths Russian propaganda about the US Navy. Hegseth's talking points were literally the kind of thing Russian state media spouts every day. Disgusting, shameful, and un-American. Our military deserves so much better.

Even judges and prosecutors APPOINTED BY TRUMP are refusing to obey Trump. Have faith. Keep fighting.

Remove Eric Adams Impeach Emil Bove Impeach Pam Bondi Impeach Donald Trump No more bribes. No more quid pro quos. No more disgusting corruption.

Dear Governor Kathy Hochul: It's time. You have the power to remove Eric Adams from office as NYC mayor. Take a stand -- and stand up for cleaning up corruption in New York. REMOVE ADAMS NOW. Sincerely, A New Yorker

I give this marriage another 6 months, tops

In Watergate, the key was to "follow the money." In Elongate, the key is to "follow the money into Elon's wallet."

Donald Trump doesn't work for us. He works for Elon Musk -- and Vladimir Putin.

BREAKING - Democrats CRUSHING special elections Iowa state Senate - Democrat FLIPPED a Trump+21 seat by 4% Minnesota state Senate - Democrat outperformed by +20 points Westchester County NY Executive - Dem outperform +2 The anti-Trump anti-Musk backlash is RISING UP

BREAKING - Inflation JUMPS back up to 3.1% One of the factors? Egg prices SKYROCKETED -- 15% in one month alone! What happened to Trump's promise to "SLASH prices" on "DAY ONE -- so fast it'll make their heads spin"? Trump LIED -- and we're all paying it for now. Literally.

BREAKING - Elon Musk slated to win $400 MILLION govt contract to make "armored Tesla" -- after $38 MILLION SpaceX contract yesterday Musk's plan: -- Shut down parts of the govt investigating him -- Claim that he's stopping government spending -- Give himself all the money

Trump and Musk claim to be fighting "the elites" LMAO - Trump and Musk ARE THE ELITES Musk is the richest guy in the world. Trump is in the top 50 now and has claimed to be a billionaire for 40 years The tech giants ARE the elites - now they bought Trump and run the country

For anyone who suddenly claims concern about the national debt -- and claims Trump and Musk are doing something about it: The president who added the single biggest amount to the national debt ever in US history, $8.8 TRILLION? Donald Trump.

CFPB - closed USAID - closed Medicaid - under attack NIH cancer funding - frozen Department of Education - under attack But do you know who just got a NEW government contract for $38,858,978 literally today? SpaceX — owned by Elon Musk

BREAKING: Steve Bannon pleads GUILTY to $15 MILLION of fraud in the We Build the Wall scam But as part of plea deal, Bannon ESCAPES any prison time Both his co-conspirators had to do prison time Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg strikes again - letting predatory grifters OFF THE HOOK

Q&A time... Send me your questions here, and I'll answer in my weekly Substack mailbag post and on my pod!

Donald Trump is the worst Vice President ever.

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg should indict Eric Adams now that Donald Trump has ordered DOJ to drop its criminal bribery case against him. Indict Adams under New York state law -- which Trump will not be able to stop or pardon. CLEAN UP THE CORRUPTION -- NOW.

Elon Musk has ZERO receipts for his claims of “fraud” in government agencies. But there seem to be a LOT of receipts showing that those same government agencies were investigating or regulating Musk and his companies.

Elon Musk has been attacking USAID — because USAID has been investigating Musk Why? Because USAID paid for the Starlink units Musk claimed to give Ukraine in 2022 (!!!) Some ended up with Russia — so USAID opened an inquiry Meanwhile Musk started speaking to Putin in late 2022
