Trump works from home.
"I don't think you can work from a home. Nobody is gonna work from home. They are gonna be going out, they're gonna play tennis, they're gonna play golf, they're gonna do a lot of things. They're not working." -- Trump, last week

Dear Leaders of the Free World,

Fight him at every turn.
Make his life miserable.
Expose his ignorance and sociopathy.
Oppose and condemn and marginalize him.
The decent people of this nation are not with him.

We stand with you.

It’s happening, people. Elon Musk’s hostile takeover of federal government infrastructure is now in progress.

So who has Musk corralled to help him execute his plans?

Musk has hired a bunch of “engineers” who are barely out of college. At least one may still be in school.

Musk’s DOGE lackeys…

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

I’m confused how awarding 4 years of back pay in a lump sum to 8,000 service members who were discharged for refusing to get vaccinated is good for the morale of the other 99% of troops who spent the last 4 years working their asses off on active duty for that same pay.

i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them

The serial sexual abuser who bragged about grabbing women by the pussy has already appointed a lifetime Supreme Court seat to a man credibly accused of sexual assault, and now he’s appointed a man who has been credibly accused of sexual assault to lead our armed forces.

Any reasonable American would agree the First Amendment was not meant to protect foreign propaganda aimed at destabilizing our nation.

Then why does its most prolific amplifier enjoy such protection?

It's way past time to hold Elon Musk accountable.
