Since they vilify government all day every day, here’s a reminder of “50 ways government works for us”👇🏽🇺🇸

Government is not the enemy. It’s not about “Big Government”, it’s about good government.

Elect people who believe in it, not the ones who seek to destroy it.

1) Trump will be told to wave this away, it’s just being said by Dems to annoy him

2) Musk may even tell him don’t fall for it

3) But some Musk opponents will make sure Trump knows about it

4) It will annoy Trump
Rep. Goldman: "It's not Donald Trump asking for this. It's very clearly President Elon Musk asking for this.

This is a far more accurate headline than you’re going to read in any major media outlet today.
In his first big flex of power on Capitol Hill, Elon Musk shitposted a bunch of misinformation to kill a bipartisan spending bill that would have averted a government shutdown, threatened reps supporting it, and demanded Congress stop working until Trump is in office. Awesome stuff
Musk Kills Government Funding Deal, Demands Shutdown Until Trump Is Sworn In
Elon Musk went on a posting spree on X to block a congressional funding bill, saying the government should shut down until Trump becomes president.

How Republicans got themselves (and the rest of us) here
Brief thread on how we got here: Since the GOP won control of the House 2 years ago they have not passed a single appropriations package into law. Government has operated at funding levels set by Dems 2 years ago via continuing resolutions every few months. This is not normal.

All we need is one journalist to hit Trump with "Many people are saying Elon is running the country".

It’s weird to think that Elon Musk will end up having paid far less for the United States Government than he did for Twitter

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who has paid into Social Security their entire adult life and is determined to make sure Republicans keep their filthy fucking hands off of our benefits.

Same goes for our Medicare and the Affordable Care Act.

HANDS. OFF.

You may not understand why, but the healthcare insurance and PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX , @X, along with CEOs of other big companies , have more impact on healthcare costs and quality of care in this country, than anything you can do with DOGE

Spend a few minutes reading this piece about “Amal government”—
America is over 334 million people. The idea you’re gonna run all of this like 13 colonies subsidized by enslaved Black labor is dumb. We need to keep pointing this out since it’s the core of conservatism. www.oliverexplains.com/p/the-right-...
