Pentagon Set Up Briefing for Musk on Potential War With China

Congress is useless. This Administration is dangerous. This President is compromised. There is NO reason for Musk to have this level of access across our government. Our nation will rue the day we returned power to the GOP and re-elected this menace. #thepriceofeggs

Schumer and these 10 Senate Democrats overplayed their hand. They think people will forget and move on. They won't. Schumer just sealed the end of his leadership. It's done. Just a matter of when. Tick Tock.

Nothing says β€œThis is normal” like Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) crossing the aisle at the State of the Union to rip a β€œThis is not normal” sign out of the hands of Rep Melanie Stansbury (D-NM). So much for supporting free speech.

Senator Elissa Slotkin: Grocery and home prices are going up, not down. Trump hasn't laid out a credible plan to deal with either of those. His tariffs will start a trade war that will hurt manufacturing and farmers

Al Green after he was THROWN out of chambers:

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes.

The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds.

This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

What Republicans really mean when they blame 'DEI' | Mehdi Hasan Referencing DEI is the new rightwing abstraction deployed by Republicans to conceal their anti-Black racism

β€œToday, DEI has become the new N-word; the new rightwing abstraction deployed by Republicans to conceal their anti-Black racism.”

My latest for the Guardian, in which I cite Lee Atwater, and bring lots of receipts.

Sorry, but it has to be said:

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Opinion | Robert Rubin, Lawrence Summers, Timothy Geithner, Jacob Lew, Janet Yellen: DOGE Is a Threat to U.S. Democracy. (Gift Article) Former Secretaries Rubin, Summers, Geithner, Lew and Yellen argue that DOGE is a threat to America.

New from 5 former Treasury Secretaries:

β€œWe take the extraordinary step of writing this piece because we are alarmed about the risks of arbitrary and capricious political control of federal payments, which would be unlawful and corrosive to our democracy.”

There is a simple solution to the CBS/Trump lawsuit.

The Harris campaign should sue Fox and insist Fox release the unedited versions of all their many edited interviews with Trump.

This is. NOT a drill! Basically firing 10,000 people who are working to prevent terrorism, stop hunger, ensure a free press deserve better. It doesn’t stop at USAID. Project 2025 says the Department of Education should exist. They’re coming for healthcare!

Opinion | Elon Musk is sweeping through Washington β€” and answering to nobody The mega-billionaire's astonishing power grabs, explained.

This man is dangerous. He is unelected. He heads an "agency" made up out of thin air with no congressional oversight. He now has access if not control of the federal payment system at Treasury. Republicans don't care and Democrats have no clue how to stop him.

A thought.
Many of us are wondering why the Democrats are not taking a more vocal and hard stand?

Maybe they’re wondering why we’re not marching outside the GSA, protesting the hijacking of our private information and that of our government by a private citizen.

Maybe we all need to get moving.

Trump put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers and, on Musk’s instruction, fired the FAA chief early without replacing him.

This should be the only thing Dems are saying today. They should all be out on media saying this.

Fact check: Trump litters Oval Office interview with false claims | CNN Politics President Donald Trump littered a Wednesday interview on Fox News with many of the same false claims he made earlier in his first three days back in the White House.

Harris beat Trump 53% to 45% among voters ages 25-29.
Harris beat Trump 51% to 45% among voters ages 30-39.
