The Justice Department is not the president's personal law firm. You are not his lawyers.
The free press should be exactly that — free. If the facts they report don’t align with the president’s propaganda, tough.
And this statement is a disgrace to the DOJ and the rule of law.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Some of the money I used to spend at Amazon every month is now going to this fund. Great way to channel my no buy into even more political power.
If you have a few bucks to spare to help us make these senators pay a political price for choosing Trump/Musk over us, chip in here: secure.actblue.com/donate/payba...
It's payback time.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
