As markets melt down around the world, Congress could act right now to prevent an economic collapse before markets open on Monday.

The only thing standing in the way is a few spineless Republicans.

People were wondering why Trump was promoting Tesla, posting about Tesla, taking photos sitting in a Tesla; when he should be working as a President. The New York times is reporting how Elon Musk is donating 100 million to 'Trump political operation.' This is absolute corruption.

Donald Trump has sold America to the highest bidder and that bidder is Elon Musk.

The Trump Administration kidnapped an activist in the middle of the night. Mahmoud Khalil's detention is a clear violation of the First Amendment. This is the behavior of an authoritarian regime, not a democracy. He must be released immediately.

After President Trump's inauguration last month, he has steadily signed a slate of executive orders to keep these education promises: combatting critical race theory, DEl, gender ideology extremism, and discrimination in admissions. President Trump has also been focused on eliminating wasteful bureaucracy and harmful programs in the federal government. To that end, today he signed [Executive Order XYZ, entitled "Eliminating the Department of Education,] which has given us a clear and final mission. We are to identify which of the Department's functions, programs, and offices are not mandated by statute, and eliminate them. This reorganization will impact staff, budgets, reporting, and more —and in coming months, we will determine how it can be accomplished with minimal delay and disruption. The President further tasked us with creating a plan to reallocate and reassign functions of the Department of Education that would be more effectively managed by other agencies. This plan will offer Congress a road map toward fulfilling the expectations of the President and the American people. The new vision—which I hope each of you will embrace going forward—can be expressed as four main convictions: Parents are the primary decision makers in their children's education. Students deserve to be protected from physical violence, racial discrimination, medical tyranny, and gender extremism ideology on campus. Postsecondary education should be a path to a well-paying career aligned with workforce needs. Taxpayer-funded education should refocus on meaningful learning: proficiency in math, reading, and core subjects, and patriotism in American history and civics. As we move to reduce the Department's middleman role in education, these four convictions must guide us toward conscientious and pragmatic action. The elimination of bureaucracy should free us, not limit us, in our pursuit of these goals Removing red tape and bureaucratic barriers will empower parents to make th

SCOOP: Now that Linda McMahon is confirmed/sworn in as secretary, Trump will be imminently issuing an executive order eliminating the Department of Education.

I’ve obtained a draft of an email that McMahon will be sending to staff re: the EO and the department’s “final mission”.

Saturday Night Live had a great opening tonight, nailing yesterday's horrific fiasco at the White House.

But I'd frankly never heard of Shane Gillis. He's truly awful. Not one single laugh. Unfunniest host in a long time.

As Margaret Atwood so brilliantly said all those years ago, don't let the bastards grind you down. Our homes, our friends, and our families are still a refuge from fascist ideology. Let's not forget that.

I am here now listening to Rufus with several hundred caring citizens. We need these conversations. Now more than ever. It is all about community and activism.
