@GottaLaff For decades, Republicans have claimed they need to lower taxes to “help small businesses.” It’s their reason for every single handout to billionaires.

Now they are PROVING they never, ever, EVER gave a 💩 about small businesses.

You know why we Germans are so pedantic about data protection? Someone around 90 years ago went through all records available, selected people with certain criteria, with the help of IBM, and then killed them all.

We don't want to be on any list.

And now the US Gov and Musk are trying to get access to all data they have about every person and put them into a big fat DB and run AI over it.

I am afraid what they will do with that.

Howard Lutnick told a national television audience to buy a specific stock tied to the sitting president’s top campaign donor. THIS. IS. NOT. NORMAL.

Why is Trump’s Commerce secretary urging the public to buy Tesla stock?

More accurately "Law firm capitulates to Trump"

This is a sign of bad things to come. Weep for the country.

Musk Set to Get Access to Top-Secret U.S. Plan for Potential War With China

Giving Elon Musk access to some of the nation’s most closely guarded military secrets is a major expansion of his role as an adviser to President Trump and highlights his conflicts of interest.

In response to NPR's request for comment, a spox for the #DOJ said, "This Dept of #Justice is acutely focused on Making America Safe Again & ensuring one tier of justice for all Americans after historic political weaponization under the previous administration." [slogans without substance]

I detest these people on so many levels

Via Kyle Cheney:

JUST IN: After years of litigation about Trump's civil liability for #Jan6, the Justice Department is now moving to substitute itself for Trump in the lawsuit, saying Trump was acting in his official capacity on Jan. 6.

“We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say "It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem." Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.”
