As we start another week, my law firm is litigating 46 voting and election cases in 19 states. A team starts trial to protect the Voting Rights Act in Alabama tomorrow!

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of democracy and democracy is on the docket.

We've been calling Elon Musk "Apartheid Clyde" for a reason

He's a white supremacist
He's a Nazi
He was radicalized Feb 11, 1990

And a Nazi Afrikaaner has just taken control of the US Treasury and will begin the destruction of our economy right after Beyonce wins AOTY

If I were Canadian PM I would immediately:

1. Create a new $15B science fund

2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada

3. Immediate permanent residency

4. Citizenship after 2 years

Overnight a science superpower
