Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.

There is no low too low for this partisan, lawless Supreme Court majority. Using the underhanded emergency docket to give Trump a power the Constitution does not allow, a fat thumb on the scale of elections.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

Trump and Hegseth are bumbling incompetents costing us a fortune daily while depleting our weapons and strategic oil reserves and making everything you buy more expensive because of $6 diesel.
