Wow.
Rep. Chuck Edwards is getting torn apart at a town hall in Asheville, NC.
“I’m a veteran & you don’t give a fuck about me. You don’t get to do this to us!”
Edwards orders veteran to be thrown out.
We’re approaching a tipping point now. Anger across the country is going to boil over soon.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Sounds great - please by all means bring shoddy rushed workmanship and a lack of security credentials to this job, so the moron can FAFO.
Oh yeah, they should rush this plane out as quickly as possible.
Drop the security clearances, ignore the boring safety checks, get parts as cheaply as possible & rush rush rush the work, even if it means the engineers are badly sleep deprived.
Do whatever it takes to get Mr. Trump his plane now!

(NYT) - President Trump, furious about delays in delivering two new Air Force One jets, has empowered Elon Musk to explore drastic options to prod Boeing to move faster, including relaxing security clearance standards for some who work on the presidential planes.

It's inescapable. I'm afraid that this is the plan for Ukraine. Not just a phony election no one wants - but one that Musk will rig with his army of human bot boys in order to claim Ukrainians want the Putin solution!
🚨 Elon Musk is trying to buy another election. The Wisconsin Supreme Court race is just over a month away, and Musk will spend over half a million dollars to support a MAGA extremist who wants to enforce a 175-year-old abortion ban.
We can't match Musk's money but we have the power of the people. 🧵

This "ASMR" video -- combined with Musk's response "Haha wow" -- says, "this could be you." That is, you could be the one who chains, or the one who is chained. It's about migrants, yes, but it's about fascism's understanding of humanity. And it's a lie.
Trump regime tweets this wordless video—nothing but the hum of an engine & the clanking of chains—comprised of closeup shots of a human being shackled for deportation. This is, no hyperbole, fascist fetish porn.
