Trump championed the TAKE IT DOWN Act last year when he signed it into law. What Musk is doing is a 100% violation of it, yet the Trump DOJ is not investigating.

The Trump administration is beyond incompetent. They never even notified Pretti's family, nor talk to them. Even the rookie fresh out of the academy knows you do these two things.

This week in Trump land:
- Pissed off numerous supporters with his callous statement on the Reiner's murder.
- Chief of Staff sounding off on how bad the administration is.
- Unemployment hits levels not seen since the end of COVID.
Oh yeah, and it's only Tuesday!

This picture reminds us of a time when people could be total opposites on politics, yet remain respectful to one another. That was before Donald Trump destroyed that simple notion. Oh, how we could use times like that again.

SO Bernie Morono is making it sound like only Democrats in Congress get paid during a shutdown, claiming he isn't being paid. Funny, since Republicans control all 3 branches and their pay is constitutionally guaranteed.
