Don't fall for Trump and Musk's chaos
This exceptional insightful article provides key insights into how to talk about the White House, how to resist them and how the press must report on this White House. IT is GREAT and helps me a lot.
GOP republicans continue to enable and encourage the destruction of our country, the lawlessness, and daily violation of laws. They could stop it.
Paraphrase: Musk makes even more taxpayer money by weakening the agencies that regulate his private businesses.
Almost every action of M and T is self-dealing.
Focus on how they and other billionaire bullies illegally enrich themselves.
No one in this White House is seeking or ending fraud waste and abuse.
MUSK and Trump ARE the fraud waste and abuse.

CORRUPTION
KEY TAKE-AWAY:
All news reports about the Trump-Musk dismantling of our government should include phrases like Musk, “the businessman, whose companies currently hold billions of dollars in government contracts from the very agencies he is probing” or “Musk, who stands to make money by weakening the agencies that regulate his private business.” And White House claims that the self-dealing billionaire is engaged in an honest, disinterested search for waste and fraud should be challenged or ignored.
CORRUPTION
The response to Trump and Musk from every newsroom in the country should be to flood the zone with truth.

How do we survive the fire hose of chaos, destruction and more?
That starts with identifying — and downplaying — sucker bait...
CORRUPTION
Whenever Trump or his aides start blowing smoke, the question to ask is: What are they trying to hide? In my opinion, the most important story to focus on — the one that they want us all to ignore — is the shocking, open corruption and self-dealing by Musk and the Trump family.
CORRUPTION
Trump’s conflicts of interest include his stake in Trump Media and Technology Group, the parent group of Truth Social. It’s the largest source of Trump’s wealth, and as a publicly traded company, notes the Times, “while foreigners are not allowed by law to make campaign contributions to Mr. Trump, there is no limit on their ability to buy large chunks of stock in his company, perhaps in an effort to intentionally push up the stock’s value and further enrich the Trump family.”
CORRUPTION
Musk’s opportunity for a money grab is even more obvious. His companies have been awarded or promised $21 billion in federal contracts since 2008, including more than $20 billion paid or promised by NASA to Musk’s SpaceX company and $5.6 billion promised by the Department of Defense, with a maximum future payout of $32.8 billion, according to the Independent.
CORRUPTION
Musk is set to begin probing the Securities and Exchange Commission, which has fined him and Tesla and is investigating alleged wrongdoing connected to Musk’s acquisition of Twitter in 2022. The billionaire and his operatives are also scouring data and recommending changes at the USDA and the Labor Department, which have investigated Musk’s companies.
CORRUPTION
And it was Musk who gleefully announced he had dismantled the Consumer Financial Protection Board, which regulates digital payment systems like the one Musk wants to turn X into. He has also challenged the constitutionality of the National Labor Relations Board, which regulates the right to form unions and previously clashed with the billionaire over his treatment of employees.
