If (knock on wood) Dems sweep Tuesday’s elections handily, can we ease discourse away from its obsession over whether Dems are too left wing to win, and take greater notice of the fact that Republicans are in a civil war over whether to be Nazis or merely lesser fascists?

Do older Americans know that Elon Musk now controls access to their Social Security and health insurance?
NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

There is simply no plausible argument that the president has the constitutional authority to refuse to spend appropriated funds because he doesn’t like how the money is being spent.
The legality of policy impoundments is just not a close question.

Fuck every Dem and Dem leaner who sat this one out. And fuck every reporter and editor who treated him as a quirky but legitimate candidate.
With the exception of 14 people, including Stewart Rhodes and Dominic Pezzola, who received commutations, all other people convicted of Jan. 6, 2021, offenses get a full pardon.
