People believe there's something wrong with Elon Musk during the Inauguration, that he was high on drugs like ketamine or some other substance. Sure looks weird though.

The International Monetary Fund says the global economy will slow sharply this year — weighed down by Trump’s tariffs.
Global growth will downshift to an annual rate of 2.8%, half a percentage point lower than projected in January and a "significant slowdown."

literally every day is going to provide more evidence that the "let's provide some votes for the least bad trump nominees out of respect for the presidency" was a boneheaded strategy. any idiot could have told senate democrats that any vote for any of these people was going to make them look bad.

You heard Trump’s attorney general — if you visit a Tesla dealership, she will prosecute you.
Be safe! Shop somewhere else.

And so now, anytime anyone insists that Schumer is just articulating a principled position as to the limits of the possible, the rebuttal is simple, clear, and obvious.
"He fucking lied about the CR, knowing he was going to sell us out. Why do you think he's not lying now?"

He lied to us. We demanded that he fight, and because we demanded that he fight, he told us he would fight. But it was a lie.
And when the lie was revealed, he pivoted seamlessly to insisting that no fight had ever been possible, would ever be possible.

His biggest test of the second Trump administration, and Schumer just got up and lied to the Democratic base about what he was going to do, planning to covertly sell them out. And when it became clear he couldn't sell them out covertly, he just reversed course and did it in public.

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Yes. Former Treasury and OMB officials explained to me in detail what sort of power Elon Musk has now been granted. They described it as akin to having his hands on a series of spigots that he can now turn on and off:

Isn’t it weird how the word “filibuster” has disappeared since the election? Isn’t it odd that Mitch McConnell could lock down Obama’s first term but nobody can stop unelected Elon from pulling the wires out of the walls? Even if 49% of the country voted for this, what about the 48% that didn’t?!

My mentions are filled with people insisting Senate Democrats are powerless.
They’re not. They can throw up roadblocks by denying unanimous consent, forcing quorum calls, using holds and filibusters, etc
It’s so easy to figure out even a dimwit like Tuberville managed to pull it off.
