White House reporters need training in asking questions. Not “is Elon Musk doing a good job?” Ask “how and why does Musk have the power to control Treasury?” Damn! FFS!

If you take down a Confederate memorial that was literally dedicated to promote white supremacy, that’s “erasing history.”
But if you hide pictures of accomplished women, that’s just fighting wokeness.

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

I asked Elon’s Grok 2 the question of whether and how you could destroy the country through insane trade wars and hijacking Treasury’s payment system.
And I must say, what I got back seems to be a fairly good analysis.

This system, managed by non-political staff, disburses trillions of dollars annually, including Social Security and Medicare benefits, tax credits for individuals and businesses, and grants and payments to government contractors—some of which compete directly with Musk-owned companies.

1) The memo was garbage and setting them up for legal defeat
2) Jumping the gun on this was creating enormous political blowback
3) It was imperiling Vought's confirmation.
BUT the guy who wants to be head of OMB has said repeatedly and explicitly he belives Trump has exactly this power.

Give them no credit for - in Chris Rock’s words - “doing s**t they’re supposed to do.”
They showed us what they want to do. Public pressure forced them to back down. But they will try again. Keep the pressure up. I certainly will.
