Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

American politicians are currently experiencing what is known as the “bystander effect.” While there are certainly spineless sycophants who are cheering on Trump, there are clearly Republican Members of Congress who see what’s happening with Russia and know this is wrong.

If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public.

There was only one person acting presidential in the Oval Office today: Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
He stood up to bullies in a Kremlin-style shakedown.
What will it take to awaken the conscience of the country after such a shameful display?
