Per the NYT; White House Plans Broad Crackdown on Liberal Groups Some of the highest-ranking officials in the federal government used Charlie Kirk’s podcast, guest-hosted by Vice President JD Vance, to lay out their plans. Does this ring of Nazi tactics? Can the Supreme Court step in? Impeachable?

No one should be shot for their political views. BUT, the Medal, the flag at half staff, transporting the body and family on Airforce2 seems extreme. These honors should be reserved for those who served the country in extraordinary ways. He could honor his friend attending/speaking at his funeral.

What will it take to replace this administration? I feel like our democracy is being replaced with autocracy and our country’s respect in the world is vanishing quickly. Am I over reacting?

The starvation in Gaza is astounding. I read much about WWII and the Holocaust. This atrocity makes me think of conditions imposed on Jews in ghettos. I can’t understand how a nation founded by people who lost family in concentration camps can allow their government to take this action.

NYTimes: Elon Musk, the country’s largest known Republican donor in the last presidential election, suggested that he would form a new political party and support primary challengers against all Republicans who voted for the bill. He called the legislation and the increase in deficit “insane.”

"The rise of Nazi Germany, where industrialists and financiers made a pact with the devil, is similar to what Russian oligarchs did in 2000 with Putin ... But Musk is symptomatic of something. Look at the way Zuckerberg made this perverse transformation. Businessmen are adjusting to appease Trump."

First Musk criticized response and placed blame on regard to LA fires. Now he sends his ridiculous trucks to extend WiFi. Too little too late. I oppose the blame first minimal help later response.

As we gawk at the $250M Musk spent elect Trump, take a guess how long it took him to “earn” it back in the market? It took just 15 minutes. I'm not kidding... 15 minutes. According to Bloomberg, his net worth soared by $8B just today. That’s billionaire math for you—and it’s all of our problem.
