What’s remarkable is that there’s hardly any real news driving this. It’s just investors belatedly realizing that Trump is who he is, and always was.

This morning, we won a court order blocking Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, from accessing Americans’ private data.
Musk and his DOGE employees must destroy all records they've obtained.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: no one is above the law.

We're suing over the free rein Donald Trump gave Elon Musk and DOGE to access Americans’ private information.
Musk and DOGE want to use this information to cut vital services that Americans rely on — from health care to education.
This is unacceptable and illegal.

We are likely about to see a mass purging of archival documents and restricted access to researchers. This will be part of the regime’s effort to rewrite history itself.

Elon Musk is committing a lot of felonies. He belongs in jail, and so do his criminal associates. He may not comprehend that. And if and when he does it may make him more reckless. No assumptions about where we go from here.

Thanks to Sen. Mark Warner, for releasing Memo from acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove to FBI leadership ordering the purge.
-Memo is a clear abuse of power and weaponization of DOJ
-Memo bolsters FBI lawsuits filed today. VERY clear the list is for retaliatory purposes
