Republicans, the party destroying the American people

Please tell me you see which party is actually fighting for the average worker.

It’s a mistake to think Elon Musk’s fans like him DESPITE him being a mediocre sociopath instead of BECAUSE.
Revolting mob rule, Stalinist, Maoist, fascist, call it what you want, it is disgusting, with the power of the state and social media to mobilize the US version of China's Red Guard to target civil servants, professionals doing their job.

Skipping FBI background investigations for presidential appointees would violate important norms designed to protect the public and our national security. My thoughts in Bloomberg:
