It’s alarming that Elon Musk has access to government payment systems used to deliver Social Security and Medicare benefits. 
 
He also drove out the senior career official at Treasury responsible for preventing a potential default on U.S. debt.
 
Congress must investigate.
Elon Musk’s Team Now Has Full Access to Treasury’s Payments System
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave Mr. Musk’s representatives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency a powerful tool to monitor and potentially limit government spending.

WOW! In Trump world, Black History Month is just “illegal DEI.”

This is the worst one. I've seen lots of bad RFK videos but this is the worst.

I don't know what is more awful, the fact that the guy who might run HHS is casually talking about his belief in eugenics or that he won't look her in the eye when he pitches this racist madness
ALSOBROOKS: You said 'we should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule that is given to whites.' Can you please explain what you meant?

RFK Jr: There's a series of studies ...

ALSOBROOKS: What different schedule would you say I should've recevied?

Our defense secretary is a political pundit, doing punditry while being in charge of the world's most powerful military. That's how insane our current moment is. The frog has clearly been boiling too long, because very few powerful people seem alarmed. www.mediaite.com/tv/fox-news-...
