USA: Remember who the hell you are. If this shit wasn't tolerable before we became the United States, it shouldn't be tolerable now! Benjamin Franklin hated this shit, so if we want to be great again, FIGHT BACK!

Trump? Musk? who knows who's paying them or giving them to orders.. but the EXECUTIVE BRANCH is using MERCENARIES to enforce their ILLEGAL ORDERS and if they can get away with doing that.. they won't have to CARE what courts have to say about ANYTHING. THIS SHOULD BE A TOP STORY.

Is there any possibility that the Musk team.. *didn't* violate HIPAA and a ton of other statutes in the course of their ransacking of federal data? and who has standing in the case? everyone ? no one? just the folks under executive authority who will be told to do nothing?

The real war is and always has always been between the people who believe there are masters and slaves... and those who think we are citizens in a society. That's it, that's all of it. the rest is details. And way too much smoke and mirrors.

Nuclear non-proliferation depends ENTIRELY on the premise that America is a reliable security partner. With Trump talking about quitting NATO how long before Poland becomes a Nuclear power? Finland? Sweden? JAPAN? and thats just starters. How do you think THAT affects US in terms of Security?

Interlibrary loan depends on Federal Funding from the IMLS.

The 35 U.S. Metro areas with populations over 2 million should Apply for statehood.
They're already more populous than 14 states that already exist and growing faster anyway. THAT would put the senate back in balance and probably be more efficiently governed that way.

When people complained about Citizens United, I doubt they even had this in mind as a possibility. One man, not a corporation, able to fund primary challenges against anyone who fails to fall in line. Absolutely grotesque.
