We’ve received a lot of questions about Trump’s demolition of the White House East Wing.

Here’s how the process is supposed to work:

At any given moment, Trump may be lying or he may be hallucinating. But he’s clearly calling the shots. The task for the rest of the apparatus of government is to get to work turning that lie or hallucination into reality. www.thebulwark.com/p/is-he-lyin...

This is a lie... First of all town halls aren't being held in "arenas" they are being held in churches, schools and community centers. Second, 90% of the time you have to be a resident who lives in the district to register to attend with a valid address.

In case you missed it – Donald Trump and Elon Musk are getting ready to privatize the Postal Service.

Let's talk about what that would mean:

There is going to come a time in the very near future where the only way to resolve this is for every non-MAGA media company to band together and simply refuse to walk into the presser or attend the event. Because he wants the coverage more than anything else. Divided you fall.

He’s a private citizen! He wasn’t elected. He has nearly 7,000 satellites in orbit around planet earth with more in the works. He has no loyalty to the United States. If it wouldn’t be okay with you that he (or anyone) took control of your company’s or your personal bank accounts, how is this okay?

How is it not in bold letters above the fold on the front page of every newspaper, the top story on every news media outlet that Elon Musk has full control of the U.S. Treasury Payment System?!?! News suppression is never okay.

No one elected Elon Musk.

As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences.

We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

FBI firings are a 5 alarm fire.

Firing the senior leadership, scores of senior agents and hundreds of line agents will make us less safe from criminals and external threats. This is a catastrophe of yet incalculable proportions. These attacks on law enforcement are a menace to the American people.

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

Musk aides gain access to sensitive Treasury Department payment system The access, granted by Scott Bessent, Trump’s newly confirmed treasury secretary, comes after the ousting of the agency’s top career official.

Folks, this is a very big deal to have political appointees in charge of every government check. Maybe Dems have more to say about this? Might be a good time to raise the roof.

Dead bird at Lake Julian Park tests positive for avian flu - Asheville's 828 News NOW Preliminary tests show a bird at Lake Julian Park had avian influenza H5N1

Nobody is paying attention to things like this because the CDC no longer communicates. The current occupant of the White House broke government. He broke the ability to keep America safe. This is spreading, and this administration plans to pretend it doesn't exist.

Screenshot of a tweet from 'No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen' stating that Trump issued an executive order defunding public schools that accommodate transgender students. The tweet claims teachers will be banned from using a transgender student's desired name or pronouns, with budgets at risk of being defunded if they do not comply. The image includes a photo of Donald Trump sitting in a suit with his hand on his chin, next to an empty classroom with desks and chairs.

Enforcing discrimination and hate through economic coercion. Despicable.
