This clearly demonstrates just how absurd and extreme the Trump regime has become.

Defeatism is exactly what Trump, Vance, and Musk want us to feel.
They’d like nothing better than for us to give up, so they can have it all. Cynicism and hopelessness play into their fetid hands.
Keep up the fight.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.
