I just hope the plan in the Senate on the CR isn’t to create the illusion of resistance in an attempt to placate the base before an inevitable surrender. Choose a lane, explain the lane clearly, don’t try and fool us.

The problem with Elon is we can't fire him because we never hired him.
And we can't impeach him because we never put him in office.
But the DC police can arrest him as a private citizen for trespassing next time he barges into federal offices without legit authorization.
