This needs to be screamed from the rooftops because it is true of every federal agency Musk has targeted. USAID was investigating Starlink. FAA was investigating SpaceX issues. CFPB was dealing with Tesla's issues. The man seized power to destroy the government keeping us safe from him.

Now that TikTok has officially gone dark, I’m re-upping my post from a few days ago to remind folks that this praise for Trump is wrong.

This is just completely unbelievable. It has been a totally surreal week.
These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.
These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

This didn’t get enough media attention when it happened so I’m posting it again. The Biden’s were not only innocent, they were framed. And the GOP knew it and amplified the lie anyway.

As someone who loves storytelling, and has studied mythology, I found this to be pretty fascinating. I've been pondering it all morning.

Last week, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) announced a historic $1.8 BILLION settlement for 4.3 million people who were charged illegal fees or defrauded by credit repair companies.
Remember this the next time a billionaire says they want to get rid of the CFPB.

Great point - Trump has a "mandate" to do all the stuff that he said he was not associated with?
"Trump spent the campaign pretending the deeply unpopular Project 2025 agenda was not the blueprint for his second term. So it’s pretty rich now for Republicans to claim that a vote for Trump was a vote for him to implement Project 2025 policies."
Trump hoodwinked voters about his worst policy commitments
They signed up for Project 2025 whether they knew it or not.
