No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way His assassination deserves full condemnation; his full impact should not be sidestepped.

Kirkโ€™s advocacy of vigorous debate ought not be separated from what he said while jousting in the public square.

โ€œ.. I canโ€™t remember anyone ever telling me we canโ€™t say anything critical about a civilian like this. He was not in our chain of command or anything,โ€ the officer said.

WWMND? Mass daily protest until the regime resigns. Financial blackout. Total shutdown of his financial backers & their businesses. Not one dollar to be spent. Itโ€™s never been done before?
Good.
Time to add an asterisk to the Constitution about dealing with corrupt tyrants.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Your favorite book is the worst book someone else has ever read. The same goes for your own work; some will love it, some will hate it. You canโ€™t control that. You only control the work you put in, so focus and keep at it.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and itโ€™s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They arenโ€™t firing for a reason.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on โ€œDEIโ€ with zero evidence.

He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.

Itโ€™s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesnโ€™t want to govern. He doesnโ€™t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.

Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.
