The Lunatic in Chief who thinks that Joe Biden’s Autopen was running the country… Is using Grok to run the country. Now Elon Musk is working for the Pentagon. What can possibly go wrong 🤷‍♂️

So, Elon Musk is going to reorganize our military. A random person with no military experience is going to “restructure” THE UNITED STATES MILITARY… Just think about that for a minute! Thoughts?! 😎✨

BREAKING: A while back, I sued DOGE (FOIA) to get Musk's communications. DOJ argued that Musk wasn't a govt employee anymore, BUT Hegseth just hired him again to work on a Pentagon warfare initiative called Project Meridian. So we noticed Judge Boasberg. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

I've been a lawyer in a couple of states. That the American people never got a trial for the villains of the Jan 6th seditious attack on our Capitol is a stain on the entire legal profession. There are no good excuses. We know who they are. We know, pretty much, what was said. Nothing.

The Trump administration has delayed a final decision on Endangered Species Act protections for monarch butterflies, with a new deadline of June 6, 2030. Monarchs remain without protections while the decision is pending. The agency could act sooner, but this agreement allows years more of waiting. 😔
