Cool! Next time a judge orders me to do something, I’m going to say “put it in writing bitch” as I throw deuces out of the courtroom.

Imagine you're a Republican.
You control the House, Senate & White House.
You spent 9 weeks sucking up to Elon Musk and gutting vital programs. Your "mandate," you said.
You draft a budget alone, without Democrats. Everyone hates it. Your own party can't pass it.
And now it's Democrats' fault? 🤡

I hate making phone calls, so now there’s another thing pissing me off about the Trump admin. Call your senators. This is some BS. Dems need to grow a spine.
🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

Arresting someone without charge, explanation, or due process to silence dissent is unconstitutional. This type of thing happens in dictatorships, not America.

I’m starting to just maybe a little bit question whether CEOs are really worth their absurdly inflated salaries…
That's 9 tweets an hour (plus replies). This dude is allegedly running the world's 7th biggest company (by market cap) as well as like 6 other companies and completely overhauling the federal entire government. And high as a fucking kite the whole time.
Musk has tweeted more than 220 times in last 24 hrs.
That's not counting the replies.

Trump: "Russia was attacked. Russia attacked. But there was no reason for them to attack. You could've talked him out ... Every time I say, 'Oh, it's not Russia's fault,' I always get slammed by the fake news. But I'm telling you. Biden said the wrong things. Zelenskyy said the wrong things."

Women couldn’t have their own credit until 1974. Marital rape became illegal nationwide in 1994.
We are ONE generation into women having a CHANCE at life & it’s proved so intolerable America would rather end itself than allow such a thing to continue.
