People need to stop saying Trump and Musk β€œcan’t” do the illegal things they are doing. It implies that it’s going to be stopped.

The wording should focus on whether they will be allowed to do so. Whether it will be enforced.

Ultimately that’s the distinction, and it should be our focus.

The FBI has a massive opportunity to be the hero of this American story.

β€œDOGE” does not exist.

It is not a real department.

It has never been a real department.

Elon Musk has no legal authority to do anything and has zero congressional approval.

Anything to do with β€œDOGE” is ILLEGAL.

The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six timβ€”

Oh wait.

The FAA is facing a major crisis without a leader because Elon Musk pushed him out FAA chief Michael Whitaker resigned earlier this month after facing criticism from Musk.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...

It is OK for us to acknowledge (briefly) that the scope of the evil overwhelming America right now is "awesome" in the oldest sense of that wordβ€”it produces a momentary, _paralyzing_ awe.

It's hard to know what to talk about or write about or fight back against first due to the size of the assault.

Please remember that this administration is not β€œthe government.” They are not governing. The government is not the bad guy. Trump and the oligarchs are the bad guys. They are dismantling β€œthe government.”

YouTube video by Sandi Bachom (DOCUMENTARY) TRUE BELIEVERS AT THE INSURRECTION: From Charlottesville To The Capitol 12/13/23

I spent nine hours at the Capitol insurrection alone. I made a documentary. My film was used by the #January6thcommittee and in the second impeachment trial. Please watch it before it is erased from history.

Federal judge blocks Kroger’s $25 billion mega-merger with Albertsons | CNN Business A federal judge in Oregon blocked Kroger’s proposed $25 billion tie-up with Albertsons, ruling that the largest merger in US supermarket history would limit competition and harm consumers.

A federal judge just blocked Kroger's $24.6B acquisition of Albertsons.

Four corporations control 70% of retail grocery sales in America. Kroger and Albertsons are two of those corporations.

Less competition means more opportunity to price gouge.

This deal was a rotten egg.

Everything you say and do in the coming days and months should be run through a filter of whether it’ll bring down Trump’s approval ratings.
