So humiliating! All respect for the White House was cast aside and reduced to such a low level. Trump is close to trailer trash!

Respect for the White House!! That's rich. He hates the White House, and goes down to his rather large trailer in Florida any time he can.

Selling anything from the White House to benefit its occupant is unheard of. He would sell hats or cars from the Oval Office because, yes, he has no respect for anything or anybody except Putin and other billionaires. Even then, he would stab anyone in the back if it suited him.

But that attitude: turning the White House into a used car lot does not occur to him. If it feels good and makes a buck, he'll do it.

Jesus wept. So too Lincoln, Adams, Washington, Jefferson, etc, et al.

We need to know all of this toxic, treasonous stuff even though it is exhausting and discouraging. And while it is impossible not to be discouraged at times, we cannot succumb to it. We need to turn it into rage. And we need to use our rage to take down the dangerous evil men who are destroying our democracy. Elon the nazi is foremost among them.

There's a sentence in here that absolutely blows me away: "Rubio chimed in by demanding that Sikorski “say thank you because without Starlink Ukraine would have lost this war long ago and Russians would be on the border with Poland right now.”

This shows that they (the T administration) understand what Putin's true plans are, that he's going to go after all of eastern Europe if he gets the chance.

Trump’s White House commercial for Tesla was laughable. Firstly,MAGATs could care less about electric cars even if they could afford one. Secondly, with all the layoffs, who of that group would buy one. Thirdly, as a private citizen, I’d never buy anything related to Musk.

When taken in context, The White House becoming a Tesla dealership is kinda trivial...which really says something. Tough reading first thing in the morning

Thank you for this excellent summary.

Wow! Now DOGE gets the chance to mess up the United States Postal Service more than DeJoy already has.

These are NOT entitlements - they've been and are being paid for by we. the PEOPLE. Unlike all the money that (f)elon is getting in his subsidies... that asshole has no idea how this country is supposed to work - and it ain't "like a business". Businesses can be driven into the ground - good government shouldn't have that happen

If musk were an actual human, his confidence would never recover from this. The images from this end of month sales event on the South Lawn make me turn red, like I was there. They have cheapened the White House so much recovery may not be possible.

I keep thinking like a historian: how did (fill in a nation) not see it coming? How could they let (so and so) waltz into power? Didn't the people of (name the country) see what (name names) were doing?

We are now living through a time of extreme takeover which future generations will study with dismay and curiosity. We can see how big and powerful these people are, we are the "good Americans" who watched in horror as this nobody, Leon "Nazi pig" Musk, destroyed a 250-year-old democracy. We, those of us who are sick to our stomachs, are the good Americans who watched it happen.

He couldn't have destroyed our democracy without the generous assistance of Trump, the far right billionaires et al.

Perfect. The carnival barker speaks. Incoherently, but just as grating on the nerves.

Thank you for your work, keeping this corrupt tyrant in front of the American conscience, however I'm am not sure why you and many other media outlets cloudy the titles of these of these criminals...."Whitehouse Senior Advisor"' "Worlds wealthiest man" "Head of DOGE" "Senior Advisor to the President". These are titles that typically get earned and of accomplishment.....this muskrat is a criminal tyrant that has no business and has not earnest these titles of respect. They should be referred to, musk or trump only....unless you are worried about them.....they are breaking the law, they are lawless authoritarians....this what they are and what they should be referred as....

"Tesla dealerships in Canada appear to have engaged in a shady scheme to game the country’s electric vehicle subsidy program. In Quebec, a single Tesla dealership reported to have delivered 4,000 vehicles in a single weekend just before the federal program ran out of funding."

Who's talking about fraud, Elon? You just took the last cents of a federal funding for you own benefit.

It's impossible that 4000 people purchased your cars here in Québec during a single weekend. YOUR DEALERSHIPS ARE CLOSED ON THE WEEKEND!
