My question: Will we pay another $1B when the $400M 747 is turned over to trump (when he leaves office) to take out all the classified upgrades/equipment? Or does private citizen trump get to keep them-- unlike any other former president?

Men in plainclothes, one in a balaclava, raided the Charlottesville courthouse today. They abducted a local painter whose case (allegedly fighting with his roommate) was being dismissed, and another who was there paying fines. They took them away in unmarked vans.

As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies.

The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits.

Maybe it's not the judges?

Elon Musk quietly deleted a post that said he would hand out two $1 million checks to people who had already voted in a Wisconsin Supreme Court race. Federal law prohibits payments to Americans in exchange for their registering to vote or casting ballots.

Experts had said that his pledge to hand out two $1 million checks to people who had already voted in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race seemed to run afoul of state law.

Good question.
What possible non-treasonous reason would there be for Hegseth to have a Russian email address?

Elon Musk might be cutting government spending, but not on his own projects — billions in extra federal money is likely headed toward SpaceX, thanks to policy changes that will make the world’s richest man even richer. A NYT investigation examines the Trump-era shift toward SpaceX

Elon Musk’s role in the White House allows him to cancel contracts and influence policy, potentially benefiting his companies. Supporters say he has the best technology.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

To Wisconsin Farmers: As you contemplate the possible loss of your farm because of Elon, how could it benefit you to vote for a WI Supreme Court justice that will almost certainly answer to Elon, and almost certainly NOT you? Money may be speech, but it's not justice. Your situation needs justice.
Focus on this Wisconsin.

This is YOUR state, YOUR Supreme Court.

Vote early!
Five days before he backed Brad Schimel, Elon Musk’s company Tesla sued Wisconsin.

No wonder he’s so invested in the race.

Actually, that's a pretty good question.
IF TRUMP AND MUSK REALLY WERE FOREIGN AGENTS what would they be doing any differently?

WHY is Schumer pandering to them?

Not sure which was worse: Watching/listening to Trump, or watching the facial expressions of the two stooges sitting behind him. (Full disclosure: I couldn't watch it in real time; only watching snippets on the news afterwards-small, somewhat digestible doses.)
