This is why you fight these cowards.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.
He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Over at the other place, JD Vance is calling me a ‘dummy’ for pointing out his administration’s attacks on journalists and free speech here at home. Musk literally today called for the jailing of CBS journalists.
The VP clearly has a lot of time on his hands.

DOGE is arguing in court that Trump is calling all the shots and Musk isn't the DOGE administrator. Trump here admits he's not calling the shots. So if he's not, and Musk isn't, then who is the DOGE administrator? @normeisen.bsky.social @gtconway.bsky.social
