NEW: After consulting former Treasury staff, the Progressive Change Institute just released a memo outlining the worst case scenarios of Musk's hostile takeover.
This is nothing more than an economic coup.

The mass firing of Inspectors General by the Trump Administration without grounds and advance notice to Congress is a clear violation of the law.
But, of course, we know the cause: Trump wants no accountability for malfeasance in office.
He is refilling the swamp.

Just had an interaction with my students that proves that the younger generation does not understand history or economics or possess critical thinking skills. We are fucked. They don’t understand the pain that is coming

McMahon & Co promise a return to the educational world of the "Founding Fathers."
They want to make it easier for children to work and easier for private schools to get public money.
We've been there before: we get brutal child labor and education deserts.
