Elon Musk, an unelected citizen, has gained access to all of the information the government has connected to you.
This is critical to the lives of every single American citizen.

Maybe if we put the 10 Commandments inside the White House, the man whoβs moving there in January will start acting right.

I was told on socials when I first started posting about Project 2025 and the president-electβs connection to it that I was lying and fear mongering.
Heβs now picked 5 people involved in writing it for his administration and is eyeing at least 2 more.
I wonder what those folks have to say now?

Lots of bills have been filed already for the upcoming 89th Texas Legislative Session. Iβll start posting these today.
Many of them are as unhinged as youβd probably expect at this point.
If youβre in Texas, prepare to write your representatives to oppose or support the things you care about!
