Elon Musk is using Twitter to call for the National Guard shooter to be “hanged without delay”.
He says where there’s premeditated murder, punishment must be swift.
He knew cutting USAID would kill people.

The best-dressed protestor at today’s “Save Democracy” rally in Mount Kisco, N.Y. Today marked the 40th consecutive week of the rallies, which typically draw more than 100 activists angered by the country’s move toward authoritarianism.

Attended by about 100 demonstrators, this event marked the 37th consecutive week of the rallies. Twelve times as many participated in group’s No Kings protest, helping propel the Democrats’ electoral wipeout Tuesday.
