Musk’s Foundation Gave Away Less Money Than Required in 2023

There are #nonprofits at the center of nearly every news story. This one - alleged financial mismanagement - is a serious concern for the former executive of a multimillion dollar veteran's organization.
In 2016, Pete Hegseth signed an NDA and received a significant payout when he “voluntarily resigned” as CEO of the organization Concerned Veterans of America.

Trump is slipping farther and farther below 50%. He now leads by only 1.6%—and his vote advantage is under 2.5M. One of the narrower victories of the last 100 years of American politics, and any journalist or politico using the term mandate probably needs to retire from their profession immediately.

And the 2028 GOP primary has begun. Let's see who signs up.
Trump didn’t start nominating the misfits until Thune was chosen new Senate Majority Leader. On that same afternoon Trump abruptly chose Gaetz as AG, followed in rapid succession by Hegseth and RFK. It was an angry knee jerk reaction to the Senate’s rejection of Rick Scott and recess appointments.
