The absurdity of using a child cancer survivor who got cancer from chemicals & wants to be a cop as your prop when you:
-Cut child cancer funding
-Gut the EPA
-Deregulated sewage in our water
-Pardoned J6 insurrectionists who killed cops

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...
The FAA is facing a major crisis without a leader because Elon Musk pushed him out
FAA chief Michael Whitaker resigned earlier this month after facing criticism from Musk.

To recap, Trump:
-Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence
-Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers
-Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee
-Blamed the DCA crash on DEI
This is disastrous leadership.

I’m not sure what was worse: that Merrick Garland couldn’t bring himself to prosecute Trump on his own and felt he had to bring in a special counsel as cover, or that he waited so long to do it that Smith never got Trump inside a courtroom.
History won’t be forgiving to Garland.

Spent the day talking to Europeans, and nobody can think of any precedent for what Musk just did to the US Congress. There is no businessman with that much power, the power to stop a routine spending bill, anywhere else in the democratic world.

Are we ready for an unelected oligarch to become third in the line of presidential succession?
Rand Paul becomes the first to call for Elon Musk to replace Mike Johnson as Speaker. Which, if you listened to my podcast Uncovered yesterday, you already knew was going to happen before it just happened.
