It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved.

* very unconstitutional

An important statement from the American Bar Association. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

With Elon’s “tell us what you accomplished last week or you’re fired” emails: I can confirm that he didn’t limit himself to the executive branch. He sent them to employees of the judicial branch as well.

Trump's America Is in a Free Fall—Not a Slippery Slope—to Tyranny He is instilling fear not just among lawmakers but every sector of society that dares to criticize him or hold him accountable

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Fun group project: Call your R Representative's office, ask them how much of the Federal budget is Medicaid, ask them how much the bill cuts Medicaid by, then ask them to do the math for you.

not sure people realize this about musk but it is absolutely true and he was too poor to even buy piddly twitter for the whole $44 billion without taking limited partners. if he bought a baseball team, he'd do the red sox mookie betts trade

Pssst: There actually isn’t a lot of waste, fraud, an abuse in the govt given its size. Big businesses typically have more.

“Waste, fraud, and abuse” is what politicians (1) say to BS that they can save a lot of money without taking anything from anyone or (2) by “waste,” mean “thing I don’t like.”

Justice officials tell prosecutors to drop charges against N.Y. Mayor Eric Adams A top Justice official said New York Mayor Eric Adams should not have to face trial given his reelection campaign and the fight against crime and illegal immigration.

This is — literally — unheard of in federal prosecutions.

We can’t prosecute him because he’s a candidate for office? Wow.

Make no mistake, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are destroying the credibility of the Department of Justice by sending its lawyers into court to make absurd legal arguments and repeated factual misrepresentations.

This will not end well.

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

The ABA supports the rule of law. Read full message: www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Deleted my Twitter app.

I'm not posting to a state media platform, which is now being used exclusively and openly to threaten prosecutions and investigations of people who dare criticize the government.

If Gritty can still fly the pride flag so can we

Anecdotally, the Dems’ attempt to enter Treasury on Tues broke through to the public in a big way.

At least according to..the Mom-o-meter.

My Mom before Tues: You’re doing what? Where? This can’t be a national emergency.

Mom on Tuesday: WHO ARE THESE KIDS AND WHAT ARE THEY DOING WITH MY MONEY?

Hey man sorry to hear about all your political turmoil. Would it help if I scrolled around on the computer all day and drove myself insane?

2 insurrections, same President.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."

An EEOC admin. judge sent a fiery all-department email this AM alleging:
1. Trump's exec orders & instructions to target private citizens with them are illegal.
2. the judge had sent an earlier email with a similar tone yesterday that later vanished from their sent folder & colleagues' inboxes.

Elon Musk is hosting an X "Space" right now w/ Vivek Ramaswamy, and demonstrating a weaker grasp of our system of government than a freshman political science student.

All of us watching The Phantom Menace back in 1999: "Why does any of this matter? Who gives a shit about the taxation of trade routes?!" George Lucas in February 2025:

Several conversations today w people in the key executive departments. And while the particulars are hard to pin down my impression is that the Musk take over stuff is considerably worse than is being presented in the press. By this I don’t necessarily things they *done* yet but the level of …

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):

1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*

2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything

3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can

4. Citizens march en mass

"Malicious compliance" is their new buzzword to replace "lawfare" because they cannot understand that actions have consequences when you do, or order someone to do, something stupid and illegal
