This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for.
But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem

“Musk's starlink satellites are raining out of orbit at a rate of 120 per month.” Each one produces “30 kilograms of aluminum oxide which eats away at the ozone layer and these oxides have increased 8 fold in the atmosphere since 2016.” #OpCanary #EndAutogenocide
Satellite space junk might wreak havoc on the stratosphere
Hundreds of defunct satellites plunge toward Earth every year. Scientists are studying how the chemical stew left in their wake impacts the atmosphere.

I don’t know if it’s possible to quantify how much global influence and power this administration has willfully squandered in the past four weeks. It is a national security disaster.

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE fired several FAA lawyers tasked with helping keep reckless or drunk pilots out of the skies. Officials are baffled.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Sadly, we’ve reached this point thanks to Trump and MAGA, but President Zelensky is probably right. Europe can no longer rely on the United States.
They will have to build their own army and take care of their own security—which means they’ll be less likely to help us when we need them.
