Everyone saying the Trump/Musk stuff seems to have settled down has apparently forgotten both men are unhinged lunatics prone to erupt at any time in fits of nonsensical rage. CNN will declare Trump the "cooler head," then at 2:36 a.m. Sunday he'll announce he's deporting Musk's children.

Global population the year Musk was born: 3.759 Billion
Global population today: 8.062 Billion
When he says "civilization" he means white people.
Baier: What's the biggest thing that keeps you up at night?

Musk: The birth rate is very low in almost every country. And unless that changes, civilization will disappear. America had the lowest birth rate

What horseshit from DOD that they "mistakenly" deleted pages on the Navajo Code Talkers, black Medal of Honor recipients, Jackie Robinson, and more. They labeled them DEI and deleted them and then got caught and now they're scrambling. Nobody changes a URL by mistake. Constant lies.

They want to cut USPS - so they can own it.

They want to cut Amtrak - so they can own it.

They want to cut Social Security - so they can force you to use private financial firms more.

They want to cut Medicare and the VA - so they can force you to use private healthcare more.

Again, folks seem not to grasp how much this is a total collapse of the Constitutional order. A random private citizen is running the "Cabinet" meeting of POTUS & the Principal Officers of the Executive Departments, & going around unplugging large portions of the government. And we're all just 🤷‍♂️
This man is barely even a formal government employee, let alone elected or Senate-confirmed. A total failure of the Constitutional order, just broadcast & normalized by every major media outlet.
Elon Musk is now presiding over the cabinet meeting. They're not beating the co-president allegations. (And co-president might be putting it charitably for Trump.)

CNN: Do you think that calling Elon Musk "a dick" is effective messaging?

Rep. Robert Garcia: "Well, he is a dick."

I approve this message.

Just days after Trump returned to the White House, Instagram is censoring abortion content. This is what Aid Access' account looks like right now - posts about how to get abortion medication has been blurred out.
