I wonder if the shareholders would have been quite so generous if the government wasn't pumping billions of our tax dollars into Musk's pockets. Make NASA great again and kick Musk to the curb.

Everything, from the economic destruction, congressional abdication, govt shutdown, not funding snap, and WH destruction is by design to incite civil unrest in order to use ICE in an authoritarian crackdown. We stand at the precipice and the military may be our only hope.

Dumping Trump and ending the tax scam for the wealthy would go a long way in improving the country.

Trump wants to keep the shutdown going-its keeping the Epstein issue shut down.

Where are they finding these motherfuckers?
Remember that Trump lamented that domestic violence was a crime. This is their version of “masculinity”
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Who will get first dibs at trying the members of this corrupt, criminal enterprise masquerading as our government? Will it be US courts or the ICC?

Russians dropped a glide bomb on elderly people who were waiting in line for their pensions. More than 20 dead.

Completely agree.
Everything I see from Pritzker makes me think “this guy seems like what we need” which is why I’m totally unsurprised that most libs are excited for Gavin Newsom

Completely agree.
It seems odd for someone who "wants America to win" to be systematically doing everything he can to destroy America the way Trump is.
Lutnick on the jobs numbers: "Donald Trump wants America to win. And anybody who is against him is really against America being the greatest it can be."

Trump's economy coming to fruition.
JUST IN: The US now has more unemployed people than job openings for the first time since April 2021

Will it apply to all of government, including POTUS?
BREAKING: A bipartisan group of members of Congress have come to a compromise on a bill to ban congressional stock trading.
This is a hugely popular reform and it's encouraging that Congress is finally listening. Now it's time to get it passed!

It's almost like maybe we should start taxing the shit out of corporations and billionaires. We could have, and do, great things again.
The biggest scandal in US public life *ought* to be that we are the richest country in history & yet our infrastructure sucks, our transportation choices suck, our cities suck, our healthcare sucks, our public administration sucks, & in dozens of little ways, our daily lives suck.

There is no moral justification for today’s extraordinary concentration of wealth.
It is distorting politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.
Closing our staggering wealth gap is crucial to the survival of our economy and our democracy.

Adressing income inequality isn't socialism or communism, it's necessary for the survival of our republic. History tells us what happens to countries where the playing field gets tipped too far in favor of the wealthy.
