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.

United States support for Ukraine was never about securing mineral rights.
Or providing security for money.
It was about democracy and sovereignty. And a willingness to defend our allies and oppose our enemies.
Trump is betraying Ukraine, but also our values. Our history and our legacy.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?
