Nice day for a stroll

After Russia attacked Ukraine

-President Zelenskyy’s country stood as a barrier between Putin and all western democracies

-Providing aid to Ukraine boosted the US economy

-And Putin’s army has been devastated, greatly reducing his ability to hurt America

Has JD Vance said thank you once

What happened to Little Marco?

The Most Disgraceful Act of Betrayal I’ve Ever Seen This is just despicable.

What transpired at Trump’s press conference with Zelenskyy was a national disgrace. And everyone knows it.

Do they pay him directly?

Q: how to 6x DOGE savings ($2.5b)?

A: Cut subsidies to Tesla ($15b)

Musk Team’s Treasury Access Raises Security Fears, Despite Judge’s Ordered Halt A judge ruled Saturday that the activities of Elon Musk’s government cost-cutting effort risk “the disclosure of sensitive and confidential information” and render them “more vulnerable than before to...

"if Musk’s team has been granted security clearances, as the White House insists, it would most likely be with minimal to no vetting, a process that usually takes months..."

An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government.

DOGE is not a real government agency.
DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions.
DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law.
DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.

If President Musk really wanted to cut wasteful spending:

-Universal healthcare saves $650B

-Gun safety laws save $557B

-Ending direct & indirect fossil fuel subsidies saves $650B

-Funding the IRS saves $124B

But he doesn’t. He just needed an excuse to hijack the government.

Not for nothing but everyone realizes that these teenagers and 20 somethings who have complete access to the Treasury payment source code are now #1 espionage recruitment targets for Russia and China, right?

There should be far more focus on the state of Musk's businesses, particularly his increasingly precarious auto business.
He's gone into the business of taking over the government for a (financial) reason.

Elon Musk’s Blitz Shakes U.S. Government as He Sweeps Through Agencies The billionaire is creating major upheaval as his team sweeps through agencies, in what has been an extraordinary flexing of power by a private individual.

What this long and detailed NYT piece calmly calls an “extraordinary flexing of power by a private individual” is in fact a blatantly unconstitutional usurpation of Congress’s Article I powers and delegation of the President’s Article II duties.

A 25-Year-Old With Elon Musk Ties Has Direct Access to the Federal Payment System The Bureau of the Fiscal Service is a sleepy part of the Treasury Department. It’s also where, sources say, a 25-year-old engineer tied to Elon Musk has admin privileges over the code that controls So...

(WIRED) - A 25-year-old engineer named Marko Elez, who previously worked for two Elon Musk companies, has direct access to Treasury Department systems responsible for nearly all payments made by the US government, three sources tell WIRED.

Obviously illegal, immoral, and just plain disgusting for a handful of young people to seize the personal and financial data of millions of others and hand it to a centibillionaire.

Trump: "We shouldn't be in a position where you have tumbleweed that's dry as a bone. Even tumbleweed can be nice & green & rich & it's not gonna burn. You don't even have to remove it. It's not gonna burn. But it's just dry. So I hope you can all get together & say I'm so happy with the water."
