We don't actually know who did it. If this is an act of resistance, it's one of many escalations people might take.

Key feature: the poltician is French, so the propaganda machine that Trump and Musk use doesn't really reach his constituents.

He is very openly taking ketamine though. So it may not just be wealth

Musk got his dealer a government job in DOGE:

At least 10 DOGE staffers identified by The Post are engineers. Among them is Alexandra Beynon, 36, according to Education Department records seen by The Post and an official with knowledge of the matter. Beynon previously was head of engineering at Mindbloom, a company started by her husband, Dylan Beynon, that “offers guided at-home ketamine therapy to transform your mental health.”

This is contrary to what the article says:

So far, 116 of the 146 cases are under the age of 18, with 46 being 4 or under. Only five of the 146 were vaccinated with at least one dose of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine.

5/146 is ~3.4%

You can get measles when vaccinated, particularly if you only had one dose (the standard for people vaccinated before 1989) but it's much much less likely.

They're how you interact with a lot of services, find a local offices, etc

They were once independent of the President. That's not really allowed anymore.

The problem is that the Washington Post is pocket change for Bezos. To hurt him, you need to move off AWS and stop buying from Amazon

Trump had the state department pressure Romania to let Tate leave the country before trial

I suspect that my extensive online comment history is utterly disqualifying

The Atlantic was going to publish any response, no matter how bonkers. If a congresscritter decided to send them a Saturday Night Live skit about beavers building a dam in the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, they'd have described that response in the article.

There's another group of people who might need a booster:

If you were vaccinated between 1968 and 1989, you likely received just one dose of the measles vaccine, instead of the two doses that are standard today. One dose alone is highly effective and for most people, it provides more than enough protection, says Dr. Adam Ratner, a pediatric infectious disease specialist in New York City and author of Booster Shots, a book on the history of measles.

But Ratner says there are several situations in which the CDC recommends an additional dose of measles vaccine for adults who are considered at high risk. That includes people who are in college settings, work in health care, live or are in close contact with immunocompromised people, or are traveling internationally.

And if you live in a community that is experiencing a measles outbreak, your local or state health department may recommend a second dose for adults.

Yeah, the Republican plan is to reduce medical care for the poor (which will kill people) and borrowing money in order to give billionaires a tax cut.

More significantly, a tiny chunk of them have seized the bulk of the money and other assets. The 90th percentile worker sees the insecurity that they'll experience with a job loss. Somebody in the top 0.1% is likely a rentier who can live off the rest of us and not care.

The place I've seen him posting dates is Instagram

A lot of people didn't even hear about project 2025. Even then, you had to be fairly plugged in to have heard anything more than his disavowal of it.

Which is why it matters that people put pressure on Congress. They need to be more afraid of constituent anger than they are of a Musk-funded primary.

Destroying is a lot easier than building. You can do it illegally and without the consent of the governed.

The Musk/Trump administration has basically been ignoring the constitution on that

Congress needs to actively remove them.

Of course. They're looking for a return on their bribe.
