a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

Q: "The Republican governor of Oklahoma...said 'We believe in a federalist system...Oklahomans would lose their mind if Pritzker in Illinois sent troops down to Oklahoma.'...What's your response?"

Vance: "I'd say to Governor Stitt... Illinois is a different case from Chicago."

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

Billions in taxpayer dollars have become virtually untraceable — raising questions about the legality of Trump’s actions. Some of these funds expire on Sept. 30. If they’re not spent by then, like all funds Congress appropriated specifically for 2025…they disappear.

Billions in Taxpayer Dollars Have Become Virtually Untraceable

The Trump administration’s aggressive approach to overhauling the executive branch has obscured how federal dollars are actually being spent — even for the members of Congress.

Tesla is juicing as much as possible from the US $7,500 EV tax credit before it ends on Tuesday.

Nevertheless, the Model 3 is "Available Today" and the Model Y is available between "September and October".

Tesla will likely see losses in Q4 2025 and thereafter.
