There are also the courts

This decisions stated agencies like fcc cannot make their own rules, they have to be written in law.

The agency musk is in charge of only has a mandate to make our government websites work.

We should be hearing about new lawsuits every hour.

Maybe it's a good idea to audit the people we're going to put in charge of THE WORLDS LARGEST MILITARY!

"I think there's plenty of people that aren't happy about that, and I think that is part of the nature of putting together a coalition," Ocasio-Cortez, who clashed with Cheney when they were both in the House, said.

"I don't love it, but that doesn't mean that we aren't on the same team, and we aren't on the same page when it comes to who is unequivocally the better candidate in order to win the presidential election."

Please put "By ChatGPT" first next time so I don't waste my time reading slop.

Kills around 3/1000 in the US, BUT

Judge said it's ok, totally legal now... Awaiting appeal.

Also inspector generals, but 17/74of them have been fired now.

I just realized how insane this while thing is.

The worlds richest man has installed himself as America's fraud watchdog. Finds zero so far, simultaneously winning .4 billion contract for his carbon credit company that makes cars.

Example: Wonder how much the secret service has paid him since 2016. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/481998-trump-hotels-charge-secret-service-up-to-650-per-night-while/

With full control of the executive, Congressional, and supreme Court, all of this stuff could be done legally. Trump is CHOOSING not to for the sole purpose of extending the power of the executive as has been described by many (Unitary Executive Theory). These senators and representatives would be smart not to cede any power, they will not get it back.

I'll accept that you like this picture more.

But, I'm going to disagree. This picture is fuzzy and clearly a crop. The picture I posted is more complete, is better framed, has more contemporary context (x card), and most important...I like it more.

Elon musk's entire persona can be understood once you realize he has been able to shape media to benefit him since this picture was taken.

Many excited share holders too.

Private prisons need to be abolished like the cancer they are.

Rod Blagojevich, the former Democratic governor of Illinois, has also endorsed Trump. Blagojevich tried to sell Barack Obama's senate seat in 2008 after he was elected president, and he was incarcerated for eight years afterward. His sentence was commuted by Donald Trump during his time in office.

It's that the eugenesist?

To those who don't remember, this guy was trying to SELL A SEAT IN THE US SENATE!

This particular point really gets to me. It's almost as if Facebook only wants consumers, no workers. I can't help but notice that the CEO of Microsoft and Facebook had a seat at the inauguration, but not the CEO of linux.
