This is a Coup! We need to call our representatives and let them know that Scott Bessent needs to answer for WHY a billionaire and foreign born person was given access to American's private information and National Security. AND Donald Trump and JD Vance need to answer for allowing that to happen.

I just installed the app. And made all of the phone calls. The scripts are amazing! I was unable to reach two of my representatives but I was able to get to one of them. I know I live in a blue state but I don't care! I am going to keep calling. Everyone's voice needs to be heard no matter their party affiliation.

While Musk is raiding federal workers protection and you are diligently covering it, what shite are we not seeing. This is obviously distraction. What is going on over there in the dark. It is all too much.

What you guys are not seeing is what I am seeing on X. I follow him closely and have done so all the way along. I watched him take Pennsylvania. He has hidden nothing. Right now as of this morning when you open the X platform the first thing you see our newspaper headlines with links to news stories that are all false. This is brand new as of this morning. It’s like national inquire headlines in a grocery store lineup. This is new and this is critically important to stop. It’s very Russia. it’s very propaganda.

Wow. You aren't lying. This guy is liking totally false stories, and behaving like they're true... i.e., Amazon supposedly received grant money from USAID to help fund its Rings of Power streaming series (it did not) because it hired DEI characters.

We are in an era where truth doesn't matter, as the whole debate is a distraction to take us away from what's happening with Musk and his teen minions at the Treasury Department.

He is also falsified claims that his lackeys are engineers. They haven’t even graduated college yet.

What we've learned is that musk is phony. His supposed brilliance lies not in any intellectual capacity but in his ability to "con". He's a two bit grifter, addicted to power and the accumulation of wealth. Musk is a pirate who gleefully believes he's found himself the ultimate, plunder of gold doubloons' - the US treasury. DOGE is his Jolly Roger.

Agree!! Is what he’s done not a crime?? Why can’t the police simply go and arrest him?!? WTAF!!!

Because the people who would arrest and charge him (yes, he and his Muskrats have committed crimes) are all working for Musk and the leaders of Project 2025, who are running the govt. now. The coup is over. The only thing left is defiance and resistance by a critical mass of Americans. Is there an army of patriot hackers out there who can find a way to fight back in this domestic cyber war and protect us from these Nazis?

Maybe Trump’s coup is leading to a military coup headed by the military leaders who are loyal to General Milley and who are outraged by Trump’s treatment of General Milley. Maybe it is left to the Army to save our country, eg Brazil. Musk is an imminent threat to our national security.

You will not be laughing when our economy collapses and we have no allies left except tyrannical dictators. You've been played. Musk doesn't care about you or govt. efficiency; he's out for one person, Elon Musk, who finds your pain entertaining. Sad that your ignorance will bring down so many innocent people who voted for a govt. of the people, by the people and for the people. You'll miss your water when your well runs dry. Fool.

. I’ve heard there is a guy from Britain called Dominic Cummings currently advising Musk and Trump. He engineered Boris Johnson’s rise to the top here in the UK and one of their first tasks was to weed out civil servants under the premise of cost-cutting and modernising the mechanisms of government. But they were really just removing opposition and replacing it with their own lackeys.

Sounding a bit familiar? We also had a family joke that Boris was taking advice from a 6th Former in Number 10 who was there on work experience and seeing Musk’s 6 tech kids who are apparently dismantling your government databases reminded me of that. Of course, Boris ended up being forced to resign and Cummings was pushed out well before that, but the Boris replacements crashed the economy (Liz Truss) then Rishi Sunak did no work in his tenure leaving a £20b black hole in the UK’s finances. All this followed the Austerity years of David Cameron and George Osborne who destroyed all the infrastructure on the fake premise of reducing the country’s deficit (they actually made it higher) and there was a lot of immigrant bashing along the way - they’re taking your housing, your doctor appointments etc to deflect. It will take 25 years to bring the UK back from all this at least. So please do all you can to stop Trump and Musk from destroying your democracy. Incidentally, Dominic Cummings spent 5 years in Russia apparently learning the skills to demolish democracy so look out for him. He is also one of those weird kids who were probably bullied at school and grew up hating everyone and everything not unlike Trump and Musk. This along with a bad case of the Dunning-Kruger effect (when people with little ability and expertise believe they have superior ability and expertise therefore not having enough knowledge to know they don’t have enough knowledge) will spell disaster for US citizens

This is proper 1984 stuff.

This is really helpful to know. Thank you! It’s hard to wrap my mind around how compromised everyone in our federal government is.

It’s really important for you to understand what has happened on X. They are now running it like a newspaper with several different headlines from newspapers being the first thing you see when you open the platform. These newspapers are blatantly false. This is critically more important because it’s not being covered in the mainstream news which everything else that you said here has been.

This is new and very scary and very Russian

These incorrect news headlines are just like national inquirer in the grocery store checkout

But this is what people are reading and thinking is the truth

GET ALL OVER THIS PLEASE !

Elon Musk should be jailed, with zero bail and charged with defrauding the United States as well as espionage charges. What do you say Democratic Senators and judges?.

Trump should be jailed also. Only a felon would allow this egotistical behavior.

Our personal info is now on Musks hard drives.

This is for 2026 vote Suppression. They send letter two days before Election Day stating ineligible and verify. You go & line is 5 hours long. If you eat or drink you are taken out of line. It happened in 2024 in Georgia. Long game..voter suppression
