"My message to the rest of the Democratic Party is if you are not willing to meet that bar, then step aside for somebody who will. Because we're at a moment right now where we do need people who are willing to fight, willing to show some spine, willing to break through in this media environment."

Can the FBI/available law enforcement restrain Musk and his hires who pillaged our Treasury and national security information? Arrest this traitor and enablers. We are all bushwhacking now thru the wilderness of complete disregard of our constitution/rule of law.

Rescinded. But a lot of people were affected. It was outrageously irresponsible. They should be removed and impeached on, at the very least, incompetence.
My nonprofit still has frozen funds it can’t access. It’s still a mess. Are we going to let them mis-“lead” the country like this?
