This is a big deal. I don’t think many Americans realise what shit Trump is getting them into.

I'll probably say this 5 million times in coming years, but: A political strategy that relies on the public "waking up" and realizing that Trump & Co. are awful -- on their own -- is destined to fail. No matter how bad it gets. None of this is self-executing. People must be told & shown.

First, “tough,” “energetic,” “focused,” & “effective” can be positive or negative attributes. I agree he seams all these things but don’t agree with anything he’s doing. Second, and most importantly, POLITICS IS PR and PR IS ACTION. Doing noticeable shit gets you rewarded.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Just a reminder that Musk couldn’t get a top level security clearance. And he was under investigation for violating the terms of the clearance he did have. Now he has your Social Security number, your tax returns, and is unilaterally deciding who the government does and does not pay.

President Trump has insisted that his new tariffs on the country’s largest trading partners will not increase prices for Americans. But a review of how they work suggests that is not the case. Here’s what to know about who pays.

I always thought Elon Musk was the most dangerous man in America but I viewed him as a danger primarily in terms of his wealth and his disinformation power. I didn't realize he would pose an actual threat to our form of government, our national security, and our most sensitive personal data. Sheesh.

Donald Trump nominated Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel because he wants to show Republicans that he is the boss. That he can strip them of their dignity by making them support terrible nominees. Senate Republicans may be in the majority, but Trump controls them. That is the story.

Elon Musk doing the Nazi salute at Trump’s inauguration rally. Did it twice, actually. Don’t waste time arguing with the people telling us that’s not what happened. They’re not mistaken, they are engaged in propaganda. Faced with authoritarianism in power, it is crucial we trust our own eyes.
