A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like.

That @elonmusk hasn’t been hauled before Congress & forced to answer questions under oath is all the evidence you need to know that we’re in a Constitutional crisis. The legislative branch has officially abandoned its duty to defend the Constitution. Hence, a Constitutional crisis.

I have news for you - we aren’t taking over Gaza.
But the media and the chattering class will focus on it for a few days and Trump will have succeeded in distracting everyone from the real story - the billionaires seizing government to steal from regular people.

To me, it's simple.
I'm not going to vote for or expedite a single Trump nominee while this constitutional crisis persists and deepens.
That's just a component of real opposition, but it has to be the starting point.
No complicity. Fierce opposition.
