There are no "illegal protests" under the First Amendment.

This is just fascism brought to us by an ignorant old man drunk on power.

If Donald Trump can override our elected officialsโ€™ control of the purse strings, we are effectively entering a period of taxation without representation.

Elon Musk shared a call from conservative political commentator Ben Shapiro urging Trump to pardon Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted in the 2020 killing of George Floyd.

We as a country will save nothing. Federal employee salaries make up just 4% of the budgetโ€”roughly $271 billion. So even if every federal worker were fired, thatโ€™s the maximum youโ€™d save. Meanwhile, the U.S. House GOP has released a budget that raises the debt limit by $4 trillion.

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed.

Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly.

Yet another reason he must be rejected.

James Comer had 2 years to dig into all this supposed govt corruption that Musk is โ€œdiscovering.โ€ Thatโ€™s what Oversight Committee is supposed to do. Instead, he spent 2 years on Hunter Biden - which resulted in nothing except a James Comer book deal.

Steve Bannon spelled it out years ago. Project 2025 refined it.

Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income This brings Teslaโ€™s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

USAID, currently being shut down by Elon Musk, purchases about $2 billion annually in rice, wheat, lentils, and peas from American farmers.

The real story after the tariffs are imposed is to watch who Trump gives waivers to, and what they did to get them.

Musk is so mouthy! Marco Rubio has his hands full cleaning up after THAT arrogant immigrant. USAID is quintessentially American.

No. I knew he would blitz while we were all in shock and he is marching double time. We have to rally!

So is Trump gonna fire everyone on the FBI tv series too? Heโ€™ll have to take on Dick Wolfe and heโ€™s got some serious dramatic soundtracks.

Good point but he now has the cover provided by wall to wall broadcasting of the Philly plane crash tragedy.
Whoโ€™s talking about scrubbing government websites, threatening FBI personnel or Elon Musk inserting himself into US Treasury business?

The plane crash tragedy in Philadelphia is providing a distraction from other news like the scrubbing of government websites, threatening FBI personnel and Elon Musk inserting himself into the US Treasury.

PROP - PR Over Policy.

Don't confuse them.

He is flooding the zone. He knows that media will cover everything he does. Getting people upset. Which helps give him more coverage of the upset people. All just talking about him.

Dems need to be strategic.
