There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

What a weekend!
Across the U.S., over 100,000 Americans mobilized β€” including more than 34,000 attendees at the Bernie/AOC rally, marking the biggest political event since Obama. Protests erupted in multiple states to defend Social Security, Tesla takedown protest gained momentum, and so much more!

Elon is upset that the public is staying informed. So many threats from him lately. We are public servants, not Elon servants.

The National Weather Service is facing significant staffing cuts and has temporarily reduced weather balloon launches at several sites. These balloons are a key tool used by meteorologists to gather data for weather forecast models.

How is Social Security financed? | Press Office | SSA How is Social Security financed?

Social Security is financed through a dedicated payroll tax. Employers and employees each pay 6.2 % of wages up to the taxable maximum of $176,100 (in 2025), while the self-employed pay 12.4 % www.ssa.gov/news/press/f...

This isn’t legal, Elon.

Musk steps up calls to impeach judges, offering $100 to voters who join in. America PAC is paying registered Wisconsin voters to sign its petition against β€œactivist judges.” Talk about paid protesters. Now, judges are receiving violent threats online.

Follow the money and see where it goes. Nothing like buying our Congress. Musk has made the maximum allowable donation to members of Congress who support impeaching federal judges who are impeding actions taken by Trump.

This is disgraceful and un-American. The Trump administration defended its removal of articles highlighting the achievements of minority service members, including Navajo code talkers, Marines at Iwo Jima, and famed Black baseball player Jackie Robinson.

You should laugh at anyone who says the president should have unlimited power because he was elected. His power has to be limited *because* he's the president. This is fifth grade level social studies

Elon Musk: The accidental sovereign? History shows us what happens when private industry becomes so deeply embedded in war that it starts shaping its outcomes.

Ukraine's most vital piece of battlefield infrastructure, the Starlink satellite, isn’t controlled by the government. It’s owned by Elon Musk. History shows a dangerous pattern: When private industry embeds itself in war, it starts steering the fight to its own interests. Brian O’Neill explains.
