Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

NEW: It appears the judge’s order that barred Treasury officials from accessing the government’s massive payment system will be short-lived as Trump admin seeks lift of the “impermissible” restrictions.
And, shocker, it didn’t require defying the courts.

Looks like we weren’t the only ones who’d rather get a root canal than watch Trump lie about protecting the Constitution.
His second inauguration tanked at just 24.59M viewers—less than Biden’s 33.76M in 2021 and even his own 30.64M in 2017.
Team Trump will lie about this, so spread the word!

I don’t think there’s any way to read yesterday except as President Trump deciding that with the Republican party fully subservient to him, he can subjugate the other remaining power centers in American life.
He can finally be a wartime president. It’s just that he’s going to war against America.

And so it begins. Thumbs up to those who were pontificating just weeks ago about how we can work with these people.
New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.
No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.
And no indication how long the pause will last.
