Today's News: Protests at last

I'm seeing many people running around with their hair on fire tonight, desperately trying to get the Democrats in Congress to stop bleating about bipartisanship and finding common ground, and to FIGHT BACK. The American people are slow to rouse, but I do believe it is heating up now -- particularly the anger against Musk and his short-pants bros trying to take over the government.

WHAT DID YOU DO IN THE COUP, DADDY?

...We're in an all-out war to salvage what's left of America. The war can end one of two ways: with Donald Trump and his henchmen laying waste to our system of government, or with an effective fight on many fronts that pushes the totalitarians back, limits the damage they do, and begins the process of restoring what we had. If Trump's people win, it won't matter whether you chose this battle or that battle or a whole series of battles -- you'll be marked as a traitor. But if the good guys win, what people will remember is that you fought -- wherever and however you fought.

This is the central battle of our times. One way or the other, the first sentence of every prominent political figure's obituary will tell what that person did or didn't do in either the glorious Trump Revolution or the traitorous Trump Rebellion....

The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

And maybe going to court is starting to work:

NEW: Treasury Dept agrees not to let anyone who isn't a current, regular (non-SGE) employee access its payment system/records, with the exception of Tom Krause and Marko Elez, who will have read-only access. The agreement will last until the judge decides whether to grant a preliminary injunction.
