BREAKING: Donald Trump tells NBC News that Elon Musk will face โ€œvery serious consequencesโ€ if he funds Democratic candidates.

Like Musk or not, a president threatening private citizens over political donations isnโ€™t just wrong, itโ€™s authoritarianism.

MAGA has no integrity. The second they turn on one another, they weaponize the law. Steve Bannon calling Musk an โ€œillegal alienโ€ is breathtakingly shortsighted. No humanity or morality among them. It's just performance art. And no, a JD Vance regime wouldn't have more depth, just fewer felonies.

My prediction: Musk grabbed the Epstein files when he grabbed all that data. And he'll release them because he's pissed at Trump. The result will be a battle of the sociopaths, and the MAGA cultists will be stuck in the middle, unsure to back.

Reminder that every accusation that:

Trump tosses at Musk about his corruption & incompetence was known to him for the 130 days he had Musk running US government for him.

Musk tosses at Trump about his frail-health & corruption & incompetence was known to him when he installed him as US President.

Remember when Republicans were losing their minds about leaving Afghans who worked with US troops to be killed by the Taliban?

Well, Trump has revoked their asylum and is planning to send them back to be murdered.

Elon Musk revealing that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files is a perfect example of the powerful hiding their own corruption until it serves their purpose to reveal it.

Musk: Trump was best friends with Jeffery Epstein and his team is hiding the files with details of his heinous sexual crimes

Corporate Media: Biden's team hid the fact that he was old (until he had a bad debate, and they forced him out) which is the biggest scandal in US history

Weโ€™re seeing new escalation from the Trump administration and Russ Vought targeting federal employees. As the fallout between Elon and Trump grows, the resistance is being blamed. For now, everything is okay on our end. Weโ€™ll share more details soon.

I guess we can just assume any Republican who hasnโ€™t already come out and forcefully and publicly backed Trump and condemned Elon is a disloyal treasonous RINO playing both sides.

Like JD Vance.

Public media delivers news, educational services like Sesame Street, and emergency alerts to millions of Americans, especially in rural areas. The Trump Administrationโ€™s attempt to slash public radio and TV threatens the programs people count on every day.

9 Calif. Republicans in hot seat after consequential health care vote California's nine House Republicans voted for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which includes cuts to key programs such as Medicaid.

"California Republican Reps. David Valadao and Young Kim's districts are among the highest Medicaid enrollment rates in the state. In an April 14 letter, both said they were against the bill if it included Medicaid cuts โ€” but then they voted for the bill anyway..."

Trump is chickening out and trying to blame Elon for anything bad that happened to his supporters because heโ€™s seen all the leopards eating faces posts. But itโ€™s his fault. He wants credit for all the good things his predecessor did and none of the blame for the things HE has done.

They promised to root out waste and abuse and found none, and in the process wasted money and abused innocent people.

They promised to deport 20 million people but are not getting anywhere near that, so they are desperately arresting anyone they can get their hands on whilst wearing face masks.

McGovern: House rules require a super majority vote for any bill that increases income taxes. Guess what? Republicans are turning that rule off. Why did they have to do that? Because they know this bill will increase taxes on those families struggling the most to put food on the table.
