Lawmakers. You're not getting it. Make so much noise. Show up everywhere. Bring the FBI to arrest Elon even if you know they won't do it. Make a scene. Make accusations. Make threats. Throw sand in the gears. Refuse to cooperate. Take attention away from Trump & Musk. Be loud & public about it.

Don't let Trump spin you, he backed down on the Mexican tariffs when the market dropped out, GOP electeds finding a backbone to complain, and the WSJ calling it the "dumbest trade war in history".
Trump blinked and embarrassed himself plain and simple.

The world’s richest man who no one elected just walked into the US Treasury, stole your Social Security number, and Trump let him. You deserve to know why this is happening - call your member of Congress and Senators (202) 224-3121 and ask why.

cannot be said enough that for a decade a critical number of americans have simply refused to accept that he means what he says
I hold a lot of disdain for the people who didn’t see this coming given P2025 but it does seem like the actual support for these goals is nonexistent, everyone who voted for him did so under the incredibly stupid assumption that he wouldn’t do this

Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”
We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

The entire MAGA Playbook is to provoke a reaction and then claim the victims or too sensitive (snowflakes) or it was a joke. Rather than be outraged, don’t take the bait and simply laugh in their faces for being the stupid little bullies that they are. They can’t lead. They can only oppose.

It’s like when conservatives say “we’re a republic, not a democracy” … like they’re two different and mutually exclusive things
It's silly how people keep saying it's the "roman salute". Like buddy, the roman salute was created in the 1800s...and used by m*ssolini...another dictator...before h*tler...it will always be associated with facism. Period. This wasn't autism, or quirkiness. He knew what he was doing.

The media is failing you.
Across the TV news landscape, coverage of Trump's inauguration was soft.
Networks almost entirely avoided using terms like "twice-impeached" or "convicted felon." On CNN, neither term was used a single time, per a search of closed captioning.

The Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Jake Tapper's approach to Inauguration Day embodies a larger trend gripping the news media, which has tamped down its once aggressive posture toward Donald Trump.

Simply put, this would be a terrible decision. My friend @jimacosta.bsky.social provides the best program on @cnn.com. If CNN does this, I will be permanently done with them for any news or interviews going forward.

Housing is too expensive.
The federal government must help bring down costs. That includes increasing supply, cracking down on corporate landlords’ price-fixing, and stopping private equity firms from squeezing families and turning huge swaths of housing into overpriced rentals.
