Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

From the article: "Franchetti's firing has left the military without a single woman in a four-star general or admiral leadership position." I didn't realize it was THIS bad.

I'm so glad the agents are standing up for themselves. After Garumph removed security details, they have every reason to fear for their lives and careers.

So this proves he absolutely is trying to re-write history.
The Air Force will stop teaching recruits about the Tuskegee Airmen after an order from Donald Trump.

The Tuskegee Airmen were the first Black US military pilots and excelled in combat during World War II.

Shocking huh? Do as I say, not as I do...the motto of the present Republican party.
Wow: public records show that Jefferson Griffin, the losing Republican candidate for NC's Supreme Court, cast ballots in 2019 and 2020 while out of state performing military service using the exact same method he now says should be thrown out.

As the Justices on the NC Supreme Court don't publicize their email addresses (shocking!), I will be mailing letters of protest to each of them by name. I haven't decided if I'm going to call their offices in protest.

Trump won NC by ~183,000 votes - well within the margin of votes that Jefferson Griffin and NCGOP are saying were illegal and invalid. (They weren't.)

So do those votes only become illegal once they're for Democrats? Is that how it works?
