I’d rather be reading a book about this.

Why is the Trump Administration so keen to send American citizens to El Salvadoran prisons? The US has more prisons than anywhere else on Earth. If there isn’t enough room in American prisons to hold all the Americans that Trump plans to imprison, we’re in deep trouble.

Anecdotally, the Dems’ attempt to enter Treasury on Tues broke through to the public in a big way. At least according to..the Mom-o-meter. My Mom before Tues: You’re doing what? Where? This can’t be a national emergency. Mom on Tuesday: WHO ARE THESE KIDS AND WHAT ARE THEY DOING WITH MY MONEY?

“We vote for representatives in Congress, who pass laws that determine how our tax money is spent. If Musk has the power to halt this process at the level of payment, he can make laws meaningless. Which means, in turn, that Congress is meaningless, and our votes are meaningless...”

Of course it’s a coup. Miss the obvious, lose your republic. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Democrats’ utter failure to stand up to Trump during his first term paved the way for his second.

Does Schumer have dementia? He does not seem to be aware of the coup. The DNC won’t file a suit to enjoin DOGE. It’s just cringy puns, a piece of useless legislation called “Stop the Steal”? He is cheering about midterms? Democrats, he’s losing democracy everyday. Replace him. Warren or Whitehouse

It really is the problem. A lot of people (especially low information voters) use these articles to set the tone for what's happening. So instead of the headline being "Trump breaks law" it is "Trump gets stuff done" They are paving the way for dictatorship.

Rep. Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized the Treasury Department, but you don't control the money of the American people--the US Congress does that." "There is no fourth branch of government called Elon Musk"

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

I am barely even seeing this news on my Apple News feed, when in my mind a hijacking of the government’s payroll system by a foreign unelected official should be setting off every alarm bell. I believe Elon has means of censoring media already.

You are up to date.
