Trump: "In major cities like New York, Chicago, and Washington, mothers can't walk their children to the park without fear of being shot, or killed, or raped, or anything. Women can't ride the subway without worrying that a hoodlum will shove them onto the train tracks."

It was wrong when the Biden administration tried to surveil bank accounts with just $600 in activity, and it is wrong now that the Trump administration is surveilling as little as $200 in activity.

If Tesla's stock drops far enough, the bank loans Elon took out to buy Twitter lose their collateral and get called back immediately.
