Musk suffers from the same delusion as his fans: he imagines he knows things because he has money. This has caused him to repeatedly embarrass himself publicly, and the humiliation makes him more resentful of criticism instead of triggering self reflection. He shouldn't be anywhere near government

Trump's funding cuts are putting Oregonians in the literal line of fire. Wildfire prevention and mitigation groups across the West are having to lay off staff and close doors just ahead of fire season, all so Republicans can give another tax handout to Elon Musk.
States are scrambling to make contingency plans for what’s expected to be a severe 2025 wildfire season after USFS cuts and wildfire risk reduction grant freezes.

Thanks for posting here Chris.

How do you think his peers and people that report to him will respond ?

And if I’m asking this wrong, please correct me, but if he makes a ridiculous decision to bring charges, which court is it appealed to if he wins the case ?

All insights welcome
This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this.

The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".

They’re cutting Medicaid
REPORTER: Can you say unequivocally that down the line, there won't be cuts to Medicaid programs?

MIKE JOHNSON: Medicaid is hugely problematic because it has a lot of fraud, waste, and abuse.

From a guy who used to work there: Rachel is a remarkable person and the best TV news talent there is. If she says something is fucked up, it is. Getting rid of Joy, who dared to see through this fascism bullshit years ago and had the gall of occasionally being funny about it, is dumb.
Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

Amen to that.
I think it would make a big difference in our health if we banned Pharma ads from America like the rest of the world does.
