Protest organizers on the "Tesla Takedown" website wrote: "Elon Musk is destroying our democracy, and he's using the fortune he built at Tesla to do it. We are taking action at Tesla to stop Musk's illegal coup." PEACEFUL PROTESTS!

Psssstttt First Amendment alert:

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution protects several fundamental rights, including freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and the right to petition the government ---all under threat by the 47th President + his money source.

Thought that understanding the First Amendment part of obtaining naturalization U.S citizenship --did Musk miss that exam question?

Elon Musk Vows to Prosecute Anti-Tesla Protest Organizers—'Time to Arrest'

Anger and protest against Musk is likely to increase.

Many of Emmitsburg's elected officials back Trump's shake-up of the federal government — the town voted to elect Trump by a 2-to-1 margin last November. But they also worry what the closure means for the nation's firefighters and the town's economy.

"We're praying every day,” Emmitsburg Mayor Frank Davis said. A prolonged shutdown, he added, "could have a devastating effect for our little town.”

The move comes as the Trump administration threatens to abolish FEMA, which oversees the fire academy, and imposes freezes on hiring, disaster assistance and grant funding that have stalled the agency's work.

Quote

In the late 1970s, FEMA transformed a shuttered women's college into the fire academy's rural Frederick County campus, equipped with classrooms, labs, lodging and dining halls.

Today, first responders consider the academy essential for developing leaders, preparing for emergencies and sharing best practices. The academy trains 100,000 emergency personnel a year, many at its 107-acre hub in Emmitsburg, and offers the best continuing education many departments can afford, supporters say. Attendees are responsible only for food and travel costs.

Maybe Trump can resurrect Trump University to educate them. Hahaha

While I most certainly do not condone the violence directed at Musk and Tesla, I can understand it. This clown came throwing his dollars around, ostensibly to buy the election (swing states) and then to buy the election of a judge. LOL..THAT did not work out as planned, thankfully. What they have done is reprehensible and I hope that Johnson continues to lose on the floor.

Most Americans do not want waste. There are better ways to go about it...

I find it comical when all of a sudden, it is important, when cuts and layoffs hit THEIR districts. Bunch of baboons, that is in fact the definition of a Congress!

Oops. These fascists are sloppy with the confidential (and sometimes secret) information that they share on their group Signal chats. Aren't they? Another peak into the shadow government.

Senate confirms Mehmet Oz to lead Medicaid and Medicare

Quote

The Senate confirmed Oz on a party-line vote of 53-45.

At least one Republican changed their mind on Oz this week. Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri, who had publicly opposed Oz's nomination, said Monday that he would back the doctor after being reassured that Oz "now disavows his previous support for trans surgeries" and "walks back past criticism of state pro-life laws.”

The Trump administration has fired the head of both the National Security Agency and US Cyber Command, the BBC's US partner CBS has reported.

The removal of General Timothy Haugh comes amid what appears to be a wider purge of top security officials at the agency and at the White House.

Quote

It is not clear why Gen Haugh was removed, but it comes after a meeting between President Donald Trump and far-right activist Laura Loomer on Wednesday.

Quote

She posted on X that Gen Haugh and his deputy Wendy Noble, who US media reported was also sacked, "have been disloyal to President Trump. That is why they have been fired."

Before their firings were reported, Trump told reporters he would get rid of any staff deemed to be disloyal.

"We're always going to let go of people – people we don't like or people that take advantage of, or people that may have loyalties to someone else," he told reporters aboard Air Force One.

Hahaha

The stable genius consults his conspiracy theorist and right-wing activist before making the country more vulnerable to attacks. The general was not sufficiently loyal to Trump. My guess is that his loyalty was to the constitution and the country instead.

This must be what republican voters want. What do you think?

It's not surprising that the Republicans were cool with another grifter in the administration.

"We need more uniformed members going back into West Point, the Air Force Academy and the Naval Academy, as a tour-to-teach, with their wisdom of what they have learned in uniform, instead of just more civilian professors that came from the same left-wing, woke universities that they left, and then try to push that into service academies," Hegseth said.

Hahaha

Pete has great judgment, as we all know by now.

So will the AG go after the attempted murder of PA Governor Shapiro? I think it is at least equal to vandalizing a Tesla, no?

Good question. Will she be slower to respond to this than to Musk's concerns?

Meanwhile, Trump definitely retaliated against the Greenland military commander.

Is the arson of the Governor's home to be considered domestic terrorism?

It's part of the charges. Apparently he hated the man and maybe had connections to the neo-Nazi movement. Still there's no reason to think the criminal justice system won't go after him and hold him accountable.

Balmer faces charges of attempted homicide, aggravated arson, terrorism and other crimes after police say he climbed over a fence, broke into the governor's mansion and set the fire with a homemade Molotov cocktail in the early hours of Sunday morning.

I won't be surprised if Trump gives him a pardon.
