People defending Elon having a completely unconstitutional and illegal line-item veto on how are money is spent keep yelping about "transparency."

The Treasury has a monthly report detailing exactly how every tax dollar is spent. Send them this link.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):

1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*

2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything

3. State AGs litigate (prosecute) everything they can

4. Citizens march en mass

We should speak out n some way

📌QUESTION: How can a private citizen, with zero govt. clearance be walking through the doors of OUR federal departments and the treasury, ransacking the places, stealing information, and NOBODY is stopping him?

📌And what the fuck is law enforcement doing right now?

📌THIS IS A COUP.

One thing I think we can now say for certain is that the right not only has no ability to extrapolate from a proposed action to its eventual outcome, they also have no ability to understand pain unless it explicitly happens to them. Zero imagination and zero logical thought processes.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

I have many regrets about Earth, but making humans in a wide range of colors, shapes, and temperaments is not one of them.
Celebrate thy diversity.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"
