It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved.

With Elon’s “tell us what you accomplished last week or you’re fired” emails: I can confirm that he didn’t limit himself to the executive branch. He sent them to employees of the judicial branch as well.

Trump's America Is in a Free Fall—Not a Slippery Slope—to Tyranny
He is instilling fear not just among lawmakers but every sector of society that dares to criticize him or hold him accountable

Fun group project: Call your R Representative's office, ask them how much of the Federal budget is Medicaid, ask them how much the bill cuts Medicaid by, then ask them to do the math for you.
BREAKING: House Republicans have released their budget resolution. They are aiming to cut Medicaid by at least $880 billion, and cut SNAP by at least 20%.

not sure people realize this about musk but it is absolutely true and he was too poor to even buy piddly twitter for the whole $44 billion without taking limited partners. if he bought a baseball team, he'd do the red sox mookie betts trade
A lot of people are like "If I were Elon Musk I would just go to Tahiti and have a Piña Colata," and yes, of course, but the problem is he can't go to a bank and take this out. It's all collateral on collateral. He's the poorest rich man there is. He's overleveraged himself into a permanent hell.

Pssst: There actually isn’t a lot of waste, fraud, an abuse in the govt given its size. Big businesses typically have more.
“Waste, fraud, and abuse” is what politicians (1) say to BS that they can save a lot of money without taking anything from anyone or (2) by “waste,” mean “thing I don’t like.”

Make no mistake, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are destroying the credibility of the Department of Justice by sending its lawyers into court to make absurd legal arguments and repeated factual misrepresentations.

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

Anecdotally, the Dems’ attempt to enter Treasury on Tues broke through to the public in a big way.
At least according to..the Mom-o-meter.
My Mom before Tues: You’re doing what? Where? This can’t be a national emergency.
Mom on Tuesday: WHO ARE THESE KIDS AND WHAT ARE THEY DOING WITH MY MONEY?
