People don’t give a shit if it's one or two bills. They care that Republicans are hellbent on cutting the $6 per day families get in nutrition assistance and the Medicaid benefits millions of working families rely on to see a doctor. And for what? To pay for more tax cuts for giant corporations.

Elon Musk fired a disabled Veteran with 3 tours of duty from his job serving other Veterans at the VA. Elon’s companies get billions from defense contracts. He’s happy to profit off our servicemembers - but when he can no longer make money off them, he kicks them to the curb.

Meanwhile an apartheid emerald fortune heir is shutting down our consumer protection watchdog and firing everyone who makes the government work... for "savings" that'll go straight to his pocket in tax cuts and government contracts. They're robbing us blind while they racially cleanse the country.

This morning, I sent a letter to the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) regarding Elon Musk’s potential conflicts of interest. Within minutes, the White House confirmed receipt. By noon, President Trump fired the Director of OGE. I want to know: Was this to prevent his answer?

Musk is evil. 1. He wants all money to go to the billionaire cartel & calls all socially justified revenues “corruption”, that is, not for HIM. 2. He is a white supremacist. 3. He works for plutocratic dictatorship.

I wrote about Musk and this bureaucratic coup as plainly as I could. There's reporting in here & the particulars are overwhelming but what's happening is so clear: He's not trying to run the federal govt like a software company He's trying to turn it into a political weapon. (gift link)

The awful news that Elon Musk clashed with a top Treasury official in an effort to access govt payment systems raises a crucial question: Did Trump authorize this, or not? I talked to former officials who explain why this is a key question, and why it's so alarming: newrepublic.com/article/1910...

So if I’m understanding today correctly, the world’s richest person Elon Musk, whom no one elected, is taking over federal payment systems and employee data while the federal employees who investigate and prosecute public corruption are being fired en masse.
