So $67 COD in tariff charges paid to UPS for a $30 item from the UK and UPS is not delivering the package - that's a pretty good business model.

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Muskโ€™s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

Trump again confirms that DOGE is "headed" by Elon Musk, which undermines the administration's position in a few of its court cases against DOGE's effort to access agency systems.

Democrats should make ads out of this. Easy. "This is what Republicans think of you, Veterans." Also pair it up with Trump's comments about veterans who were injured or POWs.

Donald Trump has sent out a letter banning everyone from calling him a felon with instant dismissal for all who disobey.

But he can't fire us.

Donald Trump is a Felon.
