We implore Gov. Hochul to remove Eric Adams. The investigations of corruption within his admin. are disruptive to our city. More concerning is his abuse of his position to bargain for a pardon from Trump. Waiting until the election to get rid of him is too late - we can't wait another day.

There is literally HIV being transmitted from mom to baby because of the illegal shutdown of US AID and now Trump’s State Department wants to spend 400 million dollars on Tesla cyber trucks. This is not about efficiency. It’s a smash and grab.

Trump promised to end inflation and “‘make America affordable again,’” writes @annielowrey.bsky.social. “That is not happening. Worse, the White House’s early policies are making it more likely that the country’s cost-of-living crisis will endure for years to come”:
Trumpflation
Everything is going to be a little more expensive now.

So, friends, we have finally found some "waste, fraud, and abuse" in the federal government. $400m worth, and it is from Musk himself. He's just outright stealing money now.
It appears Musk is forcing the State Department to buy $400m worth of armored Tesla cybertrucks which one would assume would be placed prominently outside American embassies across the world as a marketing and sales effort for his flagging company.
Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

Exactly. No is a complete sentence
Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries.
They're eventually paid by us at the check out line.
The tariffs Trump is unleashing tomorrow on Mexico, Canada, and China — our biggest trading partners — are estimated to cost households an extra $1,250 annually.

It is Friday afternoon of a wild, wild week. And yet for me a reassuring one. My greatest fear was not of what they would do. It's that we would let them. And I'm seeing a lot of beautiful intransigence. From federal workers. From people all over the country obstructing ICE....

Serious question: can the president just spend all his time in office suing people and then use the litigation as a "legal" way of accepting bribes via "settlements"?

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
