I think he's been a target for a while, ever since he came out in support of freeing X from its slave masters. But the target is much bigger on him now that he's bringing to light all the bad news about Act Blue, which we've known about for months thanks to O'Keefe's work for years. 

The question becomes, how much government money has gone through Act Blue? How much money went to Soros? Well, we've got a start on some data thanks to this video that explains how to use data republican's research tool, but it always has been to verified, of course. And it doesn't connect the dots because we don't have access to Act Blue's ledgers, as far as I am aware.

"Joy" is so last fall: Dem Senator Ditches Wife for CEO of Democrat Media Operation

The CEO in question posted on Instagram, writing "Not postponing joy." The senator married his wife in 2004 and they separated last year.

You know, once upon a time, this would have been a gargantuan scandal. Now, it barely merits a story.

Democrats Are Trying To Kill DOGE By Killing Continuing Resolution Proposal

Note Jeffries is lying: 

However, he claimed that the CR threatened to cut funding for healthcare, nutritional assistance, and veterans' benefits despite that not being actual. 

"[The] partisan continuing resolution threatens to cut funding for key programs...That is not acceptable," he continued.

Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said that his party has "always believed the only solution is a bipartisan solution, no matter what."

"Bipartisan" is only ever trotted out when Dems aren't in power.

What a picture.  He looks like he's in training to be the next Joe Biden.

Hey, from what DOGE has already revealed, the Democrats have been buying partisans with government money for a very, very long time.

While some clarification might be desirable regarding the "Free Musketeers," trying to add to the name/catchphrase will make it clunky; it is the "Musk" (-eteers) that's important.   Clarification can come when dealing with the inevitable contentions/objections, but you don't tie cans to the tail of something you're trying to make into a catchphrase.

Over the weekend we had the story about kids under 11 getting $100s of millions in loans. On the face of it it looks like a money laundering scheme

So noted. (This is not my area of expertise, I freely admit.) One AI image generator refused to use any real pictures in the attempt I made, and I appreciate why. I didn't try to use Musk's photo instead. 

But there is a part of me that is thinking that Musk should really be compared to Robin Hood instead.

Everyone (not us) misses that Robin Hood didn’t steal from the rich. He took back what the government had illegally obtained in the first place.

A very good argument can be made that every department and agency not enumerated and every tax and fee and explicitly passed by congress is akin to the Sheriff taking money. 

The Robin Hood analogy is very apt.

Oh, yes indeedy. the SSNs for the students didn't match the names. Problem #1. Problem #2: This happened during COVID, so rather than do any learning, they decided to become entrepreneurs. Uh huh. 

And $333 million went out to entrepreneurs who were 115 or older. Oh, sure, I'm going to believe that as well. 

But rather than agree that preventing this fraud would help keep Social Security and Medicaid/Medicare solvent, they want to scream and gnash their teeth.

Do not forget that "Robin Hood" was originally "Robin of Locksley Hall," a "minor squire" (i.e., of the "lesser nobility") until he was driven out of his domain by the Norman power structure which coveted his land, and---he being of Saxon descent---was much disfavored by the partisan laws.

In our modern tale The People are Saxon and the bureaucracy are the Normans, with a large measure of Court Eunuchs thrown in.
