Once again, the reason all of the awful & illegal things keep happening in 🇺🇸 politics - from Trump 2.0 to Trump 1.0 to torture to Iran-Contra to Watergate, all the way back to 1865 - is because there are never any actual consequences for all of the awful & illegal things happening in 🇺🇸 politics.
Literally, the defining feature of Trump I was the open monetization of the presidency for personal/family benefit at the hotel two blocks from the White House. We should have thrown him out of office then. The reason awful & illegal things keep happening in 🇺🇸 politics dating back to 1865, etc. etc.
This is the *least* surprising part of the Musk coup. Conflicts of interest are *central* to the Trump model of rule. The first term firmly established the "I checked with Don Jr and Eric and we all agree there's no conflict" approach: "self-policing" as the smirking version of abolishing the idea.

When Senator Marshall graduated it would take 207 hours of work to pay for one year of tuition. Today it would take 1,509 hours of work.
We cut public funding and raised tuition & debt. The solution is to do the opposite of this.
