These bullying tactics seem to be largely effective for him. Didn't anyone learn that bowing to a bully is the worst idea ever? No? Just me??

We have a president who is openly threatening to end careers, shutter institutions, even unseat foreign leaders for not complying. That is a dictator.

Elon Musk Is A Billionaire Federal Welfare Vampire As Elon Musk’s DOGE chainsaws through federal agencies with budget and staff cuts, Tesla and SpaceX, cornerstones of his wealth, continue to benefit from public money. They probably wouldn’t have succ...

Thank you, @forbes.com

Elon Musk, the South African-born billionaire overseeing President Trump’s massive and haphazard effort to hack down government overspending, is among the largest beneficiaries of federal government support ever. His empire was built on it.

While I 100% agree Gov Mills standing up to Trump was badass ... are we just overlooking the fact that the president is openly threatening government officials to force compliance??

W. T. A. F. How is anyone still supporting this administration? I mean aside from the obvious billionaires and oligarchs.

This is the way…

“The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.”

With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

Part of what we're seeing currently is that politicians on the right stopped doing PC like 8+ years ago, and the left did not get the memo. So, NEWSFLASH, if they're doing nazi salutes on stage/ national television, it's ok for you to sound *gasp* *whisper* socialist.

THIS! It baffles me how basic human rights have become 'radical left' concepts in this country. This is how we've slid slowly backward and found ourselves in the midst of a creeping coup. We have no one in power with the nerve to actually balance the scales (against nazis) with true leftist ideals.

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

Project 2025 Author Russell Vought Set For Confirmation Today: Here Are All The Trump Officials With Ties To Policy Agenda Trump has named several people tied to Project 2025 to his administration, even after he disavowed the extreme policy agenda.

We have already reached the point where it's pointless to ask, "Is that even legal?" Or "How can they do that?" THIS. IS. A. COUP. They are making zero attempt to hide it. The shock and awe are part of the tactic. There is so much happening that no one knows where to focus. We're all in shock.

This is nauseating. Hacking into these government systems and accessing private citizens' personal records with zero security clearance can not be tolerated. There will be no way for any American to feel secure after these recent events. We have effectively had our identities stolen en masse.

Jeffries: "It's unfortunate that many of our Republican colleagues are determined to stand up a shadow government of the billionaires, by the billionaires, and for the billionaires that will stick it to the American people. That's what's driving much of the behavior on the other side of the aisle."

Just went to check the reddit for this. There are so many more protests happening than I was aware of, media is not covering them.

This is the moment we’ve always been headed towards. If the President refuses to follow a court’s order we are in deep crisis. The GOP has courted this disaster.

These are the clowns Congress refuses to stop.

The rate at which knees are bending is mind-blowing. I guarantee you every one of them thinks this one thing they chose to comply with isn't 'that big of a deal' because they all have their heads too far up their asses to see the big picture.

So now we're going to make the legal immigrants illegal, too. There is zero chance that he or his cronies are unaware of the fallout coming. A mass exodus of all immigrants, via deportation and of their own will for self-preservation, is going to be devastating to the economy.

USAID security officials on leave after refusing access to Musk allies Billionaire and Trump ally Elon Musk has been denigrating USAID, which is the world’s largest provider of food assistance.

Most of us were already painfully aware that the 1% own & run the US government. They just aren't pretending not to anymore.

For anyone who's shocked by the reports coming out of Washington about Musk accessing sensitive data. This level of reckless, careless, narcissistic behavior is well documented and not the least bit surprising.

But Hillary Clinton had a private server.

Federal websites down as agencies implement executive order 'defending women' After the president signed an executive order "defending women against gender ideology extremism," several federal government websites on gender and sexual health disappeared.

Defending women? The level of BS ... this is disgusting.

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...
