The ordinary questions you might ask: Is Elon Musk a government employee? Are his lieutenants? Does he personally hold a security clearance and do his “lieutenants”? Have they all undergone a background check? Are they subject to foreign influence? Have they ever done a sieg heil on stage?
As long as this Elon Musk person isn’t known for blowing things up, we’re probably fine.

The reason they wanted the Lakin Riley act so badly is because being undocumented is a civil offense and not an actual crime. They wanted even the ACCUSATION of shoplifting to make them "criminals." I am shocked how many liberals still don't understand immigration laws and are falling for MAGA lies.

Across all economic sectors, we know what we need to do to fight climate change and many indicators are actually moving in the right direction—just not yet at the pace and scale needed. There are many ways to join others to work for positive change. 🧪

The Trump administration’s anti-DEI snitching plan is getting flooded with fake reports after it tried to strong-arm federal workers into ratting out their colleagues.
Trump Wants Snitches to Report on DEI. There’s Just One Problem.
Donald Trump wants people to expose diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in the federal government. The idea is already flopping.
