Yesterday they were all pointing a finger at the NWS. This morning, I published the documented proof that NWS did their job and sent warnings intended for phones. And someone (cough, cough) has been calling media to make them aware.
Now they’re not pointing that finger at meteorologists anymore.

We recently spoke with one of the political scientists behind the “3.5% rule,” research that shows that no government has withstood a social resistance movement that draws 3.5% of its population

Dimon in January on tariffs - “get over it”
Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession.
Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months.
Gotta be some kind of record.

RFK Jr's move to eliminate the Administration for Community Living, which helps disabled & aging people stay at home instead of being institutionalized, is disastrous.

If Tesla's stock drops far enough, the bank loans Elon took out to buy Twitter lose their collateral and get called back immediately.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.
Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.
Funny how that works, huh?
