The president went on TV to attack political opponents and blame them for the killing of Charlie Kirk, even though we don’t know who shot him.
If there is anything this man can do to worsen the situation, he will do it. Despicable.

Here’s something important to know about all of the Republicans who are clapping as Trump attacks Social Security: All of them will be returning to their states and districts next week for congressional recess.

For those of you who are fortunate enough to not be watching, we’re at the “law and order” part of Trump’s speech.

Legit question: has any president ever used the SoTU or Joint Address to pull some Oprah giveaway shit like an honorary secret service badge or West Point acceptance? Like I’m happy for these kids but this is super weird.

Is it just me or is the coverage of this address on CBS leaning strongly towards “fawning?”

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy.

A Friday Night Massacre at the Pentagon
Trump’s purge started with his firing of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the top Navy officer, and the vice chief of the Air Force.

I would bet cash $$ that President Musk and his sidekick Don have never so much as boiled a pot of water on the stove.
And they want to decide what’s best for millions of working class families who just want to keep their lights on and food in the fridge. You couldn’t write a script this dystopian.

There’s a crucial election coming up in a battleground state: The liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court is at risk. Elon Musk is not only determined to infiltrate every level of the federal government, he’s coming after our local elections, too. We’re not going to let him get away with it.
Elon Musk is trying to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court
“His attack on democracy isn’t limited to gutting the federal government. He wants it all.”

This is a coup. Unelected, unvetted civilians are “shutting down” government agencies. That’s a fucking coup. Act like it.
“Musk, Trump and some Republican lawmakers have targeted the U.S. aid and development agency, which oversees humanitarian, development & security programs in some 120 countries, in increasingly strident terms, accusing it of promoting liberal causes.” Yeah, like survival.

The developments come after Elon Musk said that he had spoken with President Donald Trump about the aid and development agency and “he agreed we should shut it down.”

It really is that simple. If Biden had announced he appointed Selena Gomez to shut down ICE, nobody would doubt that's illegal and unconstitutional.
Appointing Musk to shut down USAID is no different.

The executive branch does not have the legal right to cancel appropriated spending or eliminate agencies created by Congress.
Trump and Musk are doing both. Entirely lawless and unconstitutional.

![“I went over it with him in detail, and he agreed that we should shut it down,” Musk said. “And I actually checked with him a few times [and] said ‘are you sure?’”
The answer was yes, he said.
“And so we’re shutting it down,” Musk said.
USAID staffers were told that the agency’s headquarters in Washington will be closed Monday amid the turmoil.
In an email to staff early Monday, the agency’s leadership said: “Agency personnel normally assigned to work at USAID headquarters will work remotely … with the exception of personnel with essential on-site and building maintenance functions individually contacted by senior leadership.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2rrp7amblhg3xoly5n5huiqv/bafkreihfrxbqqzx6xoeoudgfglj52il2ts26n2dkmxhq6ulwdbt7thegzy@jpeg)

Musk spent his teenage years in his grandfather‘s technocratic cult and then became a libertarian who made all his money via massive government assistance and now he’s a ketamine addict illegally overthrowing the US government so he colonize Mars in his lifetime. Make it make sense.
