Elon moves $133 million in crypto from SpaceX, and Trump accepts a $130 million donation. Hmmm… is Elon buying his spot back? Probably just an odd coincidence.

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few:
1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

The CBO just released a score on Republicans' existing mega-package and found that the GOP budget plan would increase the deficit by $2.3 trillion over a decade.
It would boost the incomes of the richest 10% of Americans while lowering the incomes of the lowest 10%.

I've seen Trumpish pundits be dismissive of the pizzas sent to judges' homes. In an MSNBC interview, Judge Salas said pizzas had been sent four times to the homes of judges or families "from" Daniel Anderl, that being the name of her son, murdered by an enraged litigant who invaded Salas's home.
U.S. District Judge Esther Salas still relives the night when a gunman at her door shot and killed her son, Daniel Anderl, and grievously wounded her husband. Salas was the target.
Pizzas now arrive at judges' doors as threats delivered in the name of her slain son.
