The amazing thing that’s been revealed about Musk is not that he’s racist and cruel. That’s hardly surprising. It’s that he’s dumb.
Like, if he was put in a room with a random people, he’d be one of the dumber people. He’d be the loudest and most obnoxious and bullying, but one of the dumber.

It is not too early for Democrats to build a Project 2028, because if we win, every single agency is going to have to be restaffed and rebuilt from the ground up in the first 100 days, and "We're going to undo the damage" can't be the sole item on our four-year agenda.READ NEXT POST BEFORE REPLYING>

Q: Can you confirm that CBP actually hit a party balloon it thought was a drone with a laser? And why wasn't that coordinated with the FAA?
KRISTI NOEM: You know, this was a joint agency task force, um, mission that was undertaken. And um, we're continuing to work on communication

Bondi's OWN DEPARTMENT published a report on violent right-wing extremism and wiped it when Donald Trump said that political violence is only a problem on the left.

“It boggles the mind that the administration is rescinding the endangerment finding; it’s akin to insisting that the world is flat or denying that gravity is a thing,” said Dr. Howard Frumkin, a physician and professor emeritus of public health at the University of Washington.
Scientific studies calculate climate change as health danger, while Trump calls it a 'scam'
The Trump administration has revoked a scientific finding that climate change is a danger to public health, an idea that President Donald Trump called “a scam.”

Quick reminder about this RU tool as he spouts more lies and faux outrage in front of Congress today #russianasset
As I wrote back in 2019, Ron Johnson has been a traitor for over seven years now...ever since he got back from his Fourth of July trip to Moscow in 2018.
No surprise he's been out there spreading Kremlin propaganda about vaccines.
