Amazon planned to display cost of Trump's tariffs.
Trump complained — Amazon backtracked.
This of course comes after Bezos donated to Trump's inauguration and Amazon bought a Melania documentary.
And remember that Amazon is being sued by FTC for antitrust violations.

Trump and DOGE accused federal civil servants of fraud (with no evidence).
Meanwhile, they're halting enforcement of a foreign anti-bribery law, dropping criminal charges against Eric Adams, and pardoning a former governor who tried to sell Obama's Senate seat.

“People are doing things.”
Tesla stores and charging stations are now protest hotspots!
Turns out, unelected Elon Musk and his fake government agency, DOGE, aren’t sitting well with folks watching democracy get gutted.

I mean it’s just the agency tasked with nuclear security, how bad can it be?
DOE's general counsel and IT offices told DOE Sec. Chris Wright that giving DOGE rep Luke Farritor IT access was a "bad idea" bc he hadn’t had a standard background investigation needed to access the department’s system, per a source. Wright granted him access anyways. www.cnn.com/2025/02/06/c...

UPDATE: 8 Dems voted today to confirm yet another Trump nominee during Musk's coup: Bennett (CO), Gallego (AZ), Hassan (NH), Heinrich (NM), Hickenlooper (CO), King (ME), Lujan (NM), Shaheen (NH). If you're a constituent, don't just call - write an op-ed, protest their office, make clear you care.
The Senate takes 3 votes this afternoon:
1) Go into executive session to consider Russell Vought to be OMB Director
2) Cloture vote for Pam Bondi for Attorney General
3) Confirmation of Christopher Wright for Energy Sec
These should be 3 easy NO votes for Dems. Watch yours and provide that input.

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.
