Members of Elon Musk’s secretive team, tasked with reviewing federal agencies for potential cuts, are refusing to reveal their full names to civil servants. Musk’s representatives declined to provide their surnames and refused to answer any questions.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

If only senators would heed the warning....
More than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm RFK Jr.
The letter marks the first time in recent memory that Nobel laureates have banded together against a Cabinet choice. But Kennedy is a threat they could not ignore, one said. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/h...

I understand that the Trump transition is not submitting nominees for FBI background checks, and that in many cases there appears to be no formal vetting at all.

Pam Bondi refused to return their dog to a family of Katrina victims after she "adopted" their dog. She fought them in court for 16 months before she gave the dog back. Disqualifying. Character counts. www.businessinsider.com/rnc-speaker-...

Children in America are much safer with drag queens than they are with trump and several members of his creepy cabinet.
