Elon Musk spent $277 million on the election. Now he’s basically running the country and cashing in to benefit his companies, get a massive tax break, and make you pay for it by cutting your health care benefits.

Let that sink in for a minute!

Pam Bondi refused to return their dog to a family of Katrina victims after she "adopted" their dog. She fought them in court for 16 months before she gave the dog back. Disqualifying. Character counts. www.businessinsider.com/rnc-speaker-...

great thread and this has been one of my obsessions in my column, to point people away from the european example and toward the american one.
One thing I think people talking about the threat of authoritarian creep have gotten, if not exactly wrong, not quite right either is to frame discussion in terms of various European precedents.

Those are relevant to be sure, but we also have an American precedent - namely the South before 1965.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "There has been no oppression for the white man in this country ... it is white men on this side of the aisle telling us, people of color on this side of the aisle, that y'all are the ones being oppressed."

We should talk more about how abnormal it is for a special counsel's office to be shuttered by a change in administrations. Hunter Biden's SC stayed in place as did others. Jack Smith has to discontinue Trump's cases while he's in office but he has other defendants. Trump breaks norms & it's ignored

Biden should invoke the MOU between DOJ and his office, as well as the Presidential Transition Act, to investigate thoseTrump says he wants to put in office. The MOU triggers background investigations of nominees “at the request of the [sitting] president.”
