Elon Musk has barged into DOL, which also oversees the Bureau of Labor Statistics—that's a huge deal. He could manipulate quarterly job numbers and much more. We are talking about MARKET MOVING INFORMATION! Do employers want Musk to have access to any of their confidential data?

So let me get this straight: the richest man in the world, with countless government contracts and ties to U.S. adversaries, is taking over our Treasury, in the name of "fighting corruption."

The irony is almost as rich as Musk himself.

The water unexpectedly released from dams on Trump’s order didn't help farms or L.A. The Trump administration abruptly sent water flowing from two California dams. The action could leave less water in dams for the summer, when farmers typically use it.

Showing he can f*ck with California’s water supply at will 🤬

Tweet from Darren J. Beattie that reads: "Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work. Unfortunately, our entire national ideology is predicated on coddling the feelings of women and minorities, and demoralizing competent white men."

You cannot make this stuff up: This guy is our new acting undersecretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs. Yes, you read that correctly: *for public diplomacy*—a role that involves leading the State Department's outreach and communications.

CFPB halts work after Trump appoints Bessent as acting head The consumer watchdog agency was formed in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. Elon Musk wants to “delete” it.

The CFPB exists to protect YOUR data and interests, stand up to giant corporations, and bring BILLIONS of dollars back to the American people who are scammed out of their hard-earned money.

Trump’s appointee just froze the entire bureau’s work. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
