Elon Musk donated $277 million to Trump so he could steal the federal government’s data, dismantle the nation’s infrastructure, and stop foreign aid from going to nonwhite people. It’s a quid pro quo breathtaking in scope, corruption, and damage, & completely unprecedented in American history.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

It's so funny that the White House has decided, since Tuesday evening, that its big focus will be costs — after eight months of splattering gold paint all over the White House and after a big Roaring '20s party at the private club the president bought from a Post cereals heiress.

👇🎯 The signal amidst the noise. The Democrats winning is a sign that there are more (small d) democrats than authoritarians, & we (the small d democrats) are going to win, no matter how long it takes.
I know a lot of people are excited because Democrats are winning
But tonight I'll sleep easier knowing that its much harder for these proto-autocrats to consolidate their authoritarian regime after extremely strong public signals of discontent.

Today is an absolute rebuke of anti-transgender politics, and a real sign that the anti-trans panic is fading.
From VA Gov to Loudoun County to New Jersey to New York City and Pennsylvania, anti-trans Republicans are falling left and right.

Democrats are currently ahead in 63 (!!!) races in the Virginia House of Delegates.
If this holds, it would be one of the largest state legislature swings in the last 4 years.
Its an absolute bloodbath for anti-trans Republicans.
