🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Elon Musk just called Trump’s Big Bullshit Bill a “disgusting abomination” - but Illinois Governor JB Pritzker isn’t buying the act.
“You made your bed. Now you will lie in it,” Pritzker fired back.
👏👏👏 Thank you, Governor, for saying what we’re all thinking.

Elon Musk may be stepping back from the federal government, Julia Angwin writes, “but his legacy there is already secured. DOGE is assembling a sprawling domestic surveillance system for the Trump administration — the likes of which we have never seen in the U.S.”

Just before the author Ryan Holiday was scheduled to deliver a lecture at the U.S. Naval Academy, he was asked not to mention the recent removal of 381 supposedly controversial books from the campus library. Holiday refused, and the talk was canceled. This is the story he was going to tell.

Trump has set up an “electronic mailbox” for corporations to ask him for exemptions to the Clean Air Act.
The exemptions would allow companies to pollute the air with mercury, which can cause brain damage and birth defects.

The Trump administration has just removed a federal ban on contractors from having segregated restaurants, waiting rooms, and drinking fountains.
This is a result of Trump’s executive order to combat DEI.

'Segregated facilities' are no longer explicitly banned in federal contracts

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
