There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

“Unusual.” I mean, come on. It is hardly unusual for Trump to ramble on about “personal grievances” and to “attack his political enemies.” It’s his essence. Sure, he’s never done it before in the Great Hall of the Department of Justice, but that venue means nothing to him.

Awful: Internal USAID memo instructs employees to refrain from talking to the media about cuts in assistance to the most vulnerable or they may get fired, WaPo reports. Trumpworld knows this is a big political problem for them. Keep the focus on it. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1915...

newrepublic.comTrump-Musk Scandal at USAID Takes Unnerving Turn With Vile Leaked MemoCan Trump and his top advisers really just act with total impunity? Or is there, just maybe, a price to be paid for starving poor people and un-indicting a corrupt mayor?

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

So...the Department of Homeland Security oversees ICE. Agents arrive at a school that has a 90%Hispanic student body. They attempt to enter the school to question someone who allegedly posted an anti-Trump video. Can you see the intimidation tactic or are you blind?

Even Steven Crowder is like wtf. Btw this woman said America used it. America briefly used in the late 1800s but it was widely seen as problematic starting in the 1930s due to Mussolini and Hitler!

You’re going to hear from people that Elon Musk did the Roman salute here and that’s true, he’s done it before. But that’s NOT exculpatory. The Roman salute was adopted by Mussolini and Italian fascists. It was then adopted by Hitler and the Nazis.
