My question is if it comes out that musk has manipulated the election for Trump and we know he did what can be done about it?

Am I reading this right? Did Trump say he took freedom of speech away?

Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 6h

Flagging Trump this afternoon:

"We took the freedom of speech away. Because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech — but what has happened is, when they burn a flag it, agitates and irritates crowds."

Most of Dem Senators did not attack Bondi yesterday as they should have. Among other things they should have said, "You're lying again, Ms. Bondi" and "That's a bald-faced lie, Ms. Bondi."

The rapid rise of authoritarianism is no place for etiquette.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

BY FAR, THE MOST CORRUPT AG IN AMERICAN HISTORY..NO COMPARISON! Corrupt, pathological, sociopathic Pam Bondi, like the rest of the corrupt fascist liars in DJT Regime, DOES NOT WORK FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE like all past AGs who performed duties INDEPENDENTLY; but NOT puppet Pam Bondi.- STAND UP USA!

Tomorrow the Epstein survivors will storm Capitol Hill to demand release of the files. I hope new Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is sworn in at their press conference by another judge or official who is authorized to do so (doesn’t have to be the Speaker).

When even Marjorie Taylor Greene jumps ship on health care, you know the regime’s rot runs deep. Authoritarians don’t care if you can see a doctor…they care that you obey. Power first. People last.

So far, the only thing of note in this pathetic Pam Bondi judiciary hearing is that she has absolutely no fear of ever being held accountable for lying under oath to the Senate and the American people, or doing whatever is necessary to protect Trump and his rich pedophile friends.

They are entitled to their backpay per the law.
MAGA is threatening.

If they follow through, they will become BIGGER enemies of the American people.

MAGA will cost the taxpayer legal fees and any damages caused to the federal workers for withholding their back pay.

MAGA is bankrupting America!

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

The complete and total bullshit about this is that it should have been the FIRST question asked of Johnson. It is a disgrace that he was not asked about this before he ended his press conference. Unbelievable that he continues to get away with this. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Sen. Dick Durbin presses Pam Bondi on FBI personnel reportedly being asked to flag instances of Trump's name appearing in the Epstein files.

Bondi says she's "not going to discuss anything about that with you."

Durbin: "Eventually, you're going to have to answer for your conduct."

It’s almost unimaginable that our federal government is trying to incite violence in blue cities and states in order to steal the next election.

All of these troop deployments are just a ploy to get people to riot so they can declare martial law and block people from voting.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan

To be clear, the Judge scheduled a hearing for Thursday, saying she needed the time for the parties to provide her with more information before she made a decision. This is hardly a win for the Trump administration.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 2d

Breaking News: A federal judge declined to immediately block President Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to Illinois. The judge’s ruling came as a military official said 200 troops from the Texas Guard were headed to the state.

Live Updates: Illinois Sues Trump Over National Guard Deployments to Chicago

Illinois officials had sought to block the deployment as 200 National Guard troops from Texas headed to Chicago. Gov. JB Pritzker called the mobilization “an unconstitutional invasion.”
