Get ready for some federal income tax changes -in addition to eliminating mortgage interest, SALT, & student loan interest deductions, which are also being proposed. I just hope some of this doesn't pass because it impacts millions of Americans, especially the poorest. www.tiktok.com/@yourrichbff...

Turns out Musk and DOGE are wildly unpopular. Even Republicans are concerned that this unelected, foreign billionaire has too much influence on the White House. reut.rs/41t8XYQ
Americans worry Musk's campaign to slash government could hurt services, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds
The poll also found a majority of Americans believe that billionaires have too much influence on Trump's administration.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

You are right. But it's 2025. Talking about it as if it will happen is how politics works. It also forces right wing media to talk about it and if there is enough Dem proposed legislation, Trump and Elon have to respond to the Dems rather than vice versa
Given that the Republicans have leadership & a majority in both chambers, such legislation proposals would just be symbolic efforts that won't even make it out of committee.

What a chart...
The US share of single moms (19%) is actually pretty similar to many other advanced economy nations.
What is different? = US child poverty (20%) is way higher than other nations.
