Ossoff: He’s so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can..

“Arlington National Cemetery, the final resting place of presidents, generals, Medal of Honor recipients and more than 400,000 service members and their families, has purged its website of material focused on Black, Hispanic, and female troops buried there” - shameful, even by Trump’s standards.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger "ponzi scheme" is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations?

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars:
1) Profiting from a monopoly
2) Insider-trading
3) Political payoffs
4) Fraud
5) Inheritance
Don’t believe the self-made myth.

Excellent by @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."

TikTok isn't gathering an ounce of the information that employees of Elon Musk seem to have access to now in our federal government. From personnel to treasury records things are getting very dangerous. Where is the outrage? My latest Substack open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Do older Americans know that Elon Musk now controls access to their Social Security and health insurance?
NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

Again “Elon Musk’s team” is literally just some guys. They’re not government officials and no one elected them and no congressional committee approved them. This is a smash and grab, out in the open.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a graphic that encapsulates the MAGA movement more precisely. When will MAGA voters realize that MAGA politicians and their billionaire backers don’t give a shit about them, all they do is fleece you fools and build walls to keep you out of their country clubs.
