The Republican Party is a Nazi bar. Anyone who stays there—from a registered voter to the top of the ticket—is implicated by that. Every policy, every idea, every action, every vote: It’s for the Nazi bar.
Every GOP governor in this country except for Vermont (smart man) has co-signed secessionist language that asserts a right to act against the federal government and the Supreme Court , and we’re still pretending that Trump and the Republican Party are separate things. Whatever they win, he wins.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

It includes the Roastery in Seattle, one of its busiest shops.
CEO Brian Niccol made $100 million in four months last year.

This is ridiculous misinformation.
When the United States was formed there were also customs inspectors and postmasters and light house keepers and judges and thousands of others.
They made government function.

Musk: When the United States was formed, there were only secretary of state, secretary of war, secretary of the treasury and attorney general. That was it. If it were up to me, I would say let's make it like that again.

A regime elected on the premise that it might have to do some unpleasant things but all in the service of low prices and a roaring stock market is now saying that we may have to bear high prices and low stock prices but all in the service of doing unpleasant things.

I left voicemails for both my senators tonight, and I'll call again in the morning. Hopefully they only get Schumer and Fetterman, but we need to keep up the pressure if that's even a possibility.

The subtext of all their DEI complaints has been ridiculously clear, but it's almost refreshing that a Trump appointee said it so boldly.
