As heinous as Musk is, let’s be clear that it is TRUMP leading this assault on the federal government. Let’s keep the focus on him, his administration, his movement, and the GOP Congress. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/02/...

Ethnic cleansing as a business gambit is heinous and on brand. But could this also be diversion from Musk gutting government etc? Trump says US will ‘take over’ and ‘own’ Gaza Strip and says US troops will be deployed ‘if it’s necessary’ –
