Musk just warned Democrats he'll "come for" anyone who investigates him. Look, that’s not a threat. It's a dare. If Dems win the House and don't hit him hard on Day One, subpoenas in hand, every vote we cast drifts away in fear. He called the bluff. Now they have to call his.

Trump has been given more grace for his outrageous behavior than Joe Biden ever received for even the most minor faux pas. Biden could stumble over a word and it would dominate the news cycle. Trump can insult reporters, curse, mock people, and go into unhinged rants and it’s glossed over.
