The GOP talking point today is:
"It's going to take unconventional methods to get us out of the mess we've been in the past 4 years"
"The mess"
- booming stock markets
- unprecedented job growth
- strong GDP
- wage growth
- plateauing inflation
- strong allies & trading partners
- a sane POTUS

Germany is saying no to autogenocide, no to oligarchy, and no to impunity. Thousands are taking a stand against fascism ahead of the election. No matter the results they won't bend the knee to oligarchy. #3E

The Trump / Musk, Nazi normalization plot has failed for the most part due to Germany who has held mass protests against Musk and the brave citizens in Ohio that stigmergically came together to run parading Nazis out of their neigbourhood. Your actions matter and your voices can drown out the hate.

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ?
Then releasing it as if they discovered it ?
Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me.
Very Trump like too.
Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.
Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!
