American civil society is full of abject cowards, that is the issue. The government is a mafia state but it is winning because most American elite institutions are devoid of anything resembling integrity and are folding rather than stand on principles that were little more than marketing.

An absurd and insulting thing to say to anyone who posts what Senator Kelly did.
And even more insulting since he served as a U.S. Navy captain and a NASA astronaut.
Kelly was a combat pilot and flew 39 combat missions during Operation Desert Storm in the Gulf War.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

I think there's something comforting for liberals in the idea that if only the media would cover a given story, then all the things that they wish were not happening would stop happening. It just doesn't work that way. Media coverage can spur folks to action but it can't take action on its own.
just my occasional friendly reminder that when people on here yell "why isn't the media covering (insert story here)???", it's worth at least a quick look at whether the media is in fact covering that story

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!
