Corruption on a massive scale, all in plain sight. The GOP is too craven and greedy for its own tax breaks to call it out.

There are numerous calls to investigate whether Trump and his cronies engaged in insider trading, pump and dumps, etc. But it won't be DOJ. It won't be the SEC. It won't be Congress. You know who CAN investigate this? NY AG Letitia James - who has jurisdiction over Wall St.

Elon Musk called a U.S. senator from Arizona—a Navy veteran—a "traitor" for supporting Ukraine. The senator fired back: "Traitor? Elon, if you don’t understand that defending freedom is a core principle of what makes America great and keeps us safe, maybe you should leave it to those who do."

More than a PR crisis- it's a strategic crisis. What Musk and DOGE are doing simply doesn't work. Indiscriminate cuts actually *increase* costs because they impair delivery of services Americans need, and also impair govt's ability to improve delivery. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Turmoil within DOGE spills into public view as Musk’s group confronts a PR crisis
DOGE sees an urgent need to champion “wins,” as Elon Musk’s group finishes slashing federal bureaucracy and moves to building digital tools for the government.

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence. This is a campaign of eradication. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/rcna...
"A screenshot of an NBC News article headline. The headline reads: 'Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail.' Below the headline, a subtext states: 'The bill, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasing extremism of legislation targeting trans people, especially in Texas, in recent years.' The NBC News logo is visible at the top, along with a navigation bar that includes a 'WATCH' button and a user profile icon."
