Elon isn't happy with the Big Beautiful Bill!!!

Elon Musk
@elonmusk
I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore.
This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.
Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.

It will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden America citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt

Doocy: How mad do you think President Trump is going to be when he finds out Elon Musk said this massive outrageous pork filled congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination..

Leavitt: The President already knows where Elon Musk stood on this bill. It doesn’t change the President’s opinion. This is one big beautiful bill

In all honesty I'm wondering who the Dump cultists who are also Elonia fanboys are going to side with. Maybe they'll just end up fangirling over Elonia while still supporting Dump, once they get over the worst of the cognitive dissonance they must be feeling. "Hey, Dump is still a good leader, and Musk just disagrees with this one bill. He's got freedom of speech, it's his right to speak out!"

The fat clown will just blame everything on the high-tech-robo-clone Biden instead of the muskrat (I apologize to all muskrats for that one).

Or maybe he'll even say that the real Elon is dead, and the "evil" dems replaced him with the same model as the last Prez, and the maga weirdoes will eat it right up.

If you don't believe me, just go to any online fox entertainment "news" article and check out the forum at the bottom.

Some of them even cheered for the terrorist that wanted to kill fans of Taylor Swift last summer in Europe.

That's disgusting.

can you imagine if the robotaxi is a flop? how’s that looking? like a flop, you say?
 
Firings, pardons and policy changes have gutted DOJ anti-corruption efforts, experts say

NBC News said:
Trump administration changes in the Justice Department have fostered what critics say is the ripest environment for corruption by public officials and executives in a generation.

Trump aides have forced out most of the lawyers in the Justice Department’s main anti-corruption unit, the Public Integrity Section, and disbanded an FBI squad tasked with investigating congressional misconduct. They have issued a series of directives requiring federal law enforcement agencies to prioritize immigration enforcement. And they have ended a 50-year policy of keeping the Justice Department independent of the White House in criminal investigations.

All of that came after Trump fired most of the inspectors general — the independent agency watchdogs responsible for fighting corruption and waste — and the Justice Department dropped a corruption case against the mayor of New York in what a judge said was a “breathtaking” political bargain. And it came after the Trump administration Justice Department pulled back on enforcement of foreign bribery and lobbying statutes, as well as cryptocurrency investigations.

RFK Jr. May Have Just Ruined Our Best Weapon Against Bird Flu
The Bulwark said:
IMAGINE BEING HANDED the ultimate weapon to win a future war and throwing that weapon away.

That’s a fair description of what Robert F. Kennedy Jr. did last week when he canceled a $766 million government contract to develop a new bird flu vaccine.

RFK Jr. May Have Just Ruined Our Best Weapon Against Bird Flu

He just made two bad decisions on vaccines, and he made them in the worst way possible.

Trump signs order to double steel and aluminum tariffs at midnight

CBC said:
Order says previous tariffs haven't been steep enough to support U.S. industry

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday doubling the tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to 50 per cent, a move one Canadian industry official warned would have "unrecoverable consequences."

The new rate will take effect at midnight, according to the order.

"Although the previously imposed steel and aluminum tariffs have helped provide critical price support in the United States market, they have not yet enabled these industries to develop and maintain the rates of capacity production utilization that are necessary for the industries' sustained health and for projected national defence needs," read the order, which was published online after global markets closed.

Prices will skyrocket. Imports will slow because of rising prices but American industry won't have the capacity to convert that. Since this is a capitalist economy the American manufacturers will raise their prices to nearly match those of the imports.

The leader of the free world.

The White House might change how President Trump gets his daily intelligence briefings. Tulsi Gabbard, who is working on this, wants to make the briefings look like a TV broadcast. The reason is that Trump doesn’t like reading, as per the report by NBC News.

NBC News spoke to five people who know about the plan. One of the ideas is to hire a Fox News producer to help design the briefings. These new briefings might include maps, animations, and even exploding bombs to grab attention. Right now, the daily briefing is a digital document with text, some graphics, and images.


Trump has only read the briefing 14 times since becoming president, that’s less than once a week. Past presidents used to read briefings much more often. “The problem with Trump is that he doesn’t read. He’s on broadcast all the time”, according to an NBC News report. Gabbard thinks Trump’s habit of watching TV and not trusting intelligent people might be why he needs a different format

It has been speculated for years Trump has a reading disability. Of all his faults, this is one I do not hold against him. So if it requires an alternate approach to make him aware of the state of the world, they should do it.

On the other hand, isn't this "accommodation" and DEI? BAN IT!

284. Trump: “Yesterday’s horrific attack in Boulder, Colorado, WILL NOT BE TOLERATED in the United States of America. He came in through Biden’s ridiculous Open Border Policy, which has hurt our Country so badly. He must go out under “TRUMP” Policy. Acts of Terrorism will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law. This is yet another example of why we must keep our Borders SECURE, and deport Illegal, Anti-American Radicals from our Homeland. My heart goes out to the victims of this terrible tragedy, and the Great People of Boulder, Colorado!”
The truth is the man was in the country on a visa that was issued by Trump’s first administration. (Apparently the visa had since expired, so he was no longer legal.)
