That’s right, one of Elon Musk’s young cyber criminals — related to a former KGB spy, and who seemingly did not have to undergo a background check — now has unprecedented access to…

except from HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT on how it's a coup

"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage."

When my class was elected in 2010, we cut congress’ own budget and our personal ones by about 10 percent.

This one should cut theirs by about 20, and each office should lay off a couple employees.

Same DOGE is requiring.

Emergency Video: will Congress do to itself what they are demanding of other departments?

Cut congress’ budget and shrink THEIR staff now!

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 continues to lead the reporting on what's happening inside the US government right now.

A 25-year-old Musk acolyte now has admin privileges over the code that controls Social Security payments, tax returns, and more.

Reportedly, Trump and Xi are not speaking after China imposed retaliatory tariffs. That's because Trump has no plan to *actually* deal with a trade war; he just wanted to beat his chest before caving to give the optics of some big deal. But since China isn't playing along, we're now in a trade war.

Congratulations to Trump on securing a $1.3 billion border security deal from Canada.... which was already negotiated in December 2024.

Thanks Bernie Sanders!!

Just saw this posted on FB and had to share.

Everywhere there is silence My friends, let us assess the situation.

“Trump is on the march. Americanism is retreating. Soon though, there will be a moment when we all decide not to take one more step backward.”

Ontario Premier Doug Ford should be applauded by free people around the world. He understands Trump and is standing up to him. He is fighting back against the bully. In the end, Trump disdains appeasing weaklings. It makes him hungrier.

This American stands with the only man who seems to get Trump.

Last night, I wrote in my newsletter, Civil Discourse, about Trump's new coup. I base my analysis on the facts and the law, not hyperbole. We are at a serious tipping point. I hope you'll subscribe if you feel the same way, or if you just want to learn more. joycevance.substack.com

I’m old enough to remember when we had 3 branches of government. Forget checks and balances. I guess we are a Muskocracy now.

Diplomacy? Does @Darren J. Beattie even know what that is? Given his statement I don't believe he does. In what century is he living????

Elon Musk Is Permanently Deleting Government Agencies Donald Trump and the world’s richest man decided to eliminate a government agency. An employee details the vivisection of USAID.

I’m more nervous about this development than anything else. Elon Musk was never elected and has no legal authority to do anything he is currently doing and Dem leadership is still on vacation ignoring it.

Thank you Adam Kinzinger! If Congress will only listen to you and others who are outraged over what is happening in this administration. It is absolutely unacceptable.

I contacted my representative's office to express my outrage over Elon Musk and this administration.
