Agreed. IF Biden's administration understands the dangers of retaining Elon's contracts, AND they do nothing because trump will just "undo" it, THAT is obeying in advance. Throw sand in the gears. Make trump do his own dirty work. REVOKE his clearance and his contracts.
Why is the Biden administration silent on the richest man in the world doing the bidding of Putin?

WHY IS HE STILL A FEDERAL GOVT CONTRACTOR???

In 1895 at age 60, “Stagecoach Mary” Fields became the first African-American woman mail carrier in the U.S. Armed with a rifle and revolver, she braved Montana’s harsh terrain. Admired by her community for her grit, courage, and kindness, she left a lasting legacy as a trailblazer of the Wild West.

I’ve never been a bigger fan of Canada in my life!
Canadian MP Charlie Angus: The message I’m hearing from people across Canada is this: they’re not afraid of you. They know you’re a convicted felon. They know that the people you’re bringing in to run your, let’s call it an “organization” rather than a government, are grifters, thieves, and thugs.

You voted for Donald Trump because he’s not beholden to billionaires and promised to remove unelected bureaucrats. Now, Elon Musk, the richest man in the world and an unelected bureaucrat—has complete control over the party.

Congrats, you played yourself.

For years, former Black Panthers have feared that the FBI is still keeping tabs on them decades after its notorious COINTELPRO program.

Malik Rahim had never been able to prove he was targeted. Now, government docs show he was correct.

Former Black Panthers fear the FBI is still keeping tabs on them decades after COINTELPRO. In at least one case, they were right.

This is a great question.
If a church doesn’t have a food pantry or a soup kitchen or a closet full of clothes and blankets open to the public or isn’t showing up at natural disasters to help, why does that church have a tax-exempt status?
