Seems bad. Seems like it means he lied to the Senate. But what's new? All the psychopaths nominated by the psychopath in chief lie to the Senate.

Kash is a danger to our democracy. Hope the Senate has the courage to reject his nomination. If not, public servants will undermine him and gather evidence of his crimes: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/no-one-elected-elon

The stupid, cowardly Rs have already approved Vought who has called for the elimination of the federal government. The Senate Rs have zero balls. All they care about is their checks and POS's pats on their heads. Zero care about the country.

Vought was a major contributor to PROJECT 2025! HE should have NEVER been confirmed! The felon Trump LIED to the American people that he knew nothing about PROJECT 2025 and all along he knew exactly what was going on! So, we are headed to a COMMUNIST country where a felon Trump will have the only say on what happens!

Because Trump is a CHAOS President, he THRIVES on CHAOS!

It's galling that nobody questioned him about the division between stuff thay's in the budget and stuff that's in trust funds, and is outoide OMB's purview. Project 2025 is surgery with a sledgehammer.

Elon Musk is a criminal and I want Congress to do something about it. He’s engaging in industrial espionage via theft of proprietary technology paid for and belonging to the American public. He is violating privacy laws by stealing the private financial and personal information of every American. He is violating national security laws by accessing top secret documents without a security clearance.

Musk has no loyalty to the United States or to the American people. He’s using his position for personal financial gain. He has substantial conflicts of interest because of his business with foreign governments, especially China.

Musk is about to do to the federal government what he did to X—a company that has lost 75% of its value since he took over. Unless Congress gets him out of our government now, our country will meet the same fate and every member of Congress who failed to act will bear the blame for it. Stop Musk’s crime spree now. Thanks.

The Rs are bowing before Elon Skum. Given that he has access to everything the gov't pay, including contracts and SS #s, it's becoming clear that they're afraid of him. Blackmail, threats of violence, cutting off their funds? The other rich dudes better come to their senses. How many of them have gov't contracts that Skum knows about? How many can he threaten?

Ds and gov't employees are trying, but unless others get a spine and figure out that they'll be destroyed as well, it will be a long, long battle. And how many will pay?

WE have to help US. There are no indictments for criminals who are trump/Musk/Heritage buddies. FBI, DOJ will not act, if they do trump will PARDON them just like he did 1500 insurrectionists from 1/6/2021. Civl courts will be intimidated, subjected to violence so no judges, patriotic lawyers or juries will show up. GOP/Trump can stage sham trials to convict whomever they want. Has anyone familiarized themselves with RUSSIA, CHINA dictatorships? WE have to show up, turn out for walk outs, general strikes, boycotts of everything but essentials, sit-ins, car-ins to block entrances, highways around DC, start a siege around White House, Congress, DOJ, FBI, Treasury and look for MUSKIES, withdraw $ from Wall Street, big banks, tax avoidance/revolt especially in donor Blue states to starve support to Red States. Anything to shake the oligarchs out of their Gilded Age towers. WE have to do it NOW before everything is destroyed in DC and Red States. Use the trump created chaos to our advantage. This is our responsibility for our children and all who come after us. Don't go into the history books as cowardly, selfish, unpatriotic, ignorant, unaware protectors of our 245 yrs. of progress as a democratic constitutional republic. The millions who died to keep it until now will know WE gave up with a whimper.

Absolutely! It is against numerous fair wage and employment acts; it is anti-democracy, breaks a host of employment acts and guarantees .. not to mention Federal Employees are obligated to uphold and be in conformance of the policy(s), regulations of the Federal government, including and not limited to sedition, workplace politics, threats and acts of treasons.

If Employees are restricted and governed by standards of conduct, HOW can bosses not be held to the same rigorous standards? Incredulous over-reach of authority and an overly dangerous threat to providing support of regulations, conduct and transparency of public protection.

If he does release the Epstein files, you do realize that they will be heavily redacted. You won't see trumps' name nor the Nazi Muskrats' name anywhere in those files. AND I'm very sure that he is taking bribes from the highest bidders to remove their names also. So, at the end of the day those files won't be worth the paper they're written on.

The GOP Senators care more about their jobs than our democracy! When the sheet hits the fan, and it will, the blame is on them. Time to start raising funds to defeat those who are up for re-election in 2026. I think Susan Collins and Thomas Tillis are vulnerable.

Are you serious? 2026 Election will be so rigged by then. Court cases about gerrymandering, denying voters access, paying poll taxes again etc. will never be filed by DOJ, investigatged by FBI. Civil courts will let the cases flounder and die because which lawyers, judges, juries will be to afraid to hold a fair trial when 1500 of 1/6/2021 Insurrectionists, MAGA nuts, Russian agents and MOB can intimidate and even kill them with no fear that trump or Vance will PARDON them. Does anyone disagree with me.

No one studies the history of autocracy, theocracy, kleptocracy, The Gilded Age, Kings for at least the last 400 years? Anyone read a book anymore?

I have never subscribed to ANY conspiracy theories, and I’ve been a relaxed person most of my life, but I bought a series of doomsday books (pdf) online today and I’m willing to share via message or email with anyone who feels the need to read up on survival skills. It even has a section for financial disasters and how to be ready when the grid goes out. JFC I never had this shit on my bingo card.

I most certainly did not either. :-(. I feel like the skills I learned growing up not well off, with 5 siblings; will help me now. Was always resourceful; and then and while raising my two kids was always good at doing with whatever I had, resource wise. Can't let myself go to the really awful place of thinking, tho. Not healthy! I still have faith in those people and systems that are trying to hold back this tide. Also there are things going on that are GOOD that we don't know about ; I am hoping too. If that makes sense! Curious about the info on financial disasters; and as re: survival skills..I assume it is a long the lines of what we do to prepare for the big one in Oregon; haha. :-). Just don't have the bandwidth to start reading those primers yet, that you talked about re; survival skills. xo my email is scschneider11@gmail.com. Thank you!

I made a comment on a Yahoo article about Trump's tyrannical Executive Orders.

“A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.” "He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation." "He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good." –Declaration of Independence—

One of his MAGA idiots replied, "Don’t like it go back to China or Russia we’ve had it with progressives."

These are the kind of morons that voted for him and are being put in charge of our country!

The real story is that the MAGA's should go to China or Russia. They love a communist ruler and KING! What they don't understand is that the things that the felon Trump does will IMPACT them too! Wait till they wake up and realize this, it will be way TOO LATE!

Interview Mike Turner. Elon Musk’s Enemy, USAID, Was Investigating Starlink’s Contracts in Ukraine.

"The Lever reported Tuesday that USAID’s inspector general was in the process of investigating its own public-private partnership between Musk’s Starlink and the Ukrainian government at the time that the billionaire’s DOGE crippled the agency. Publicly available information about that probe is still online. An announcement from last May reads: “The USAID Office of Inspector General, Inspections and Evaluations Division, is initiating an inspection of USAID’s oversight of Starlink satellite terminals provided to the Government of Ukraine. Our objectives are to determine how (1) the Government of Ukraine used the USAID-provided Starlink terminals, and (2) USAID monitored the Government of Ukraine’s use of USAID-provided Starlink terminals.”

"Musk has called the agency “evil” and a “criminal organization,” though the fact that USAID was investigating the Starlink activities may suggest ulterior motivations for the billionaire’s vitriol. It’s unclear what the Starlink probe’s status is right now."

Republican Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio was removed from his position atop the powerful House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday, telling CBS News that House Speaker Mike Johnson fired him, citing "concerns from Mar-a-Lago."

Also interview other House Repunlicans like Brianb Fitzpatrick, and members of the Foreign Affairs Committee, like my rep, Elvira Salazar. e
