"Krebs said he understood why some have kept a low profile and tried not to further anger the president.

But he said he disagreed with that approach. 'I don’t think this lay-low-and-hope-this-blows-over approach is the right one for the moment we’re in,' he said..."

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?
International tourism is worth $200 billion every year to the US economy.

Sorry, *was.

Yesterday, Trump targeted me at a speech be the Department of Justice. If he thinks it will cause me to back down he is wrong. My law firm is currently litigating 46 pro-democracy cases in 21 states, with more to come.

The continued threat by Musk that he has the ability to disable Starlink will end up costing SpaceX millions in cancelled and lost future contracts.

SpaceX, much like Tesla, needs to consider the cost/benefit of continuing to be associated with Musk.

All military aid from the U.S. to Ukraine from 2014-2024 has cost the U.S. tax payer $19.94 per person per year.

In return they got to destroy Russia’s entire Soviet equipment inheritance and still complain it is a bad deal

This Repub CR, that they claim will keep the government open, is a perfect example of why you must read bills.

Inside the text, you’ll find cuts everywhere, and so much money taken from vets you wouldn’t believe it. These guys are frauds.

Nice try! Hard NO! Throw it in the 🗑️

Marco Rubio is like having Tom Wambsgabs as Secretary of State, a man whose ambition is to be an empty suit, on board to take any stance, say anything, whatever the boss wants, and sponge up some of the pain that comes back, all for the trappings, the title, the plane rides, the suits, to be there.

Great job to everyone who went along with all that opponents of cancel culture / advocates of free speech stuff, when it was always "my views should be predominant, anyone who disagrees needs to shut up."

It really wasn't subtle.
At least 14 conservative accounts said X had revoked their blue verification badge, cutting them off from a variety of premium features, including the ability to monetize their accounts through subscriptions and advertising revenue-sharing, according to a review conducted by NBC News.
Elon Musk accused of censoring conservatives on X who disagree with his immigration stances
The claims came after Elon Musk was involved in a public feud with some Republicans over immigration.
