420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power.

Young voters really don't like Elon Musk.
His unfavorability is 54% with all voters. 67% with voters under 30.
Feels important for a party that needs to win a much bigger share of young voters.

President Donald Trump on Thursday again raised the prospect of serving an unconstitutional third term, asking a crowd at a White House event whether he should run again.
The Constitution’s 22nd Amendment limits presidents from holding the office more than twice.

Here’s David Dempsey beating officers with a flagpole. He got a full pardon and is being let out jail.
