I hope all 23 Democratic Attorneys General open up simultaneous investigations into Elon's extraordinary lawlessness and depravity.

I want to reiterate that this shit is nuts. A federal invasion of state-run elections, an intelligence community invasion of federal law enforcement, a White House invasion of a criminal investigation, and a president’s insane treasonable sore loser obsession all rolled up and muddled together.

The president had his DOJ raid an election office and seize ballots. Now he is threatening to take over elections. Sadly, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day.

Nope. She’s lying again. He specifically said they wanted to “take over the voting in at least 15 places.” That’s not the SAVE Act. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Q: Trump said specifically Republicans should 'take over' elections in 15 states. What did he mean?
LEAVITT: With the passage of the SAVE Act, voter ID will be implemented across all 50 states. He was referring to specific states in which we've seen a high degree of fraud like California & New York

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

Re-upping this in light of the discussion with Secretary Bessent today. The oil companies have all been put on alert that they are financially exposed if the WH is selling them oil without clean title. Bessent said nothing today to assuage that risk.
Any oil company that invests in the production, refining or distribution of Venezuelan oil is exposing their shareholders to significant long term credit liability. We raised that point in a letter to the oil majors today, but want to dive into why: casten.house.gov/media/press-...

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.
