JUDGE JOHN BATES

Bates is the Judge who ordered the Trump Administration to restore websites on HHS, CDC, and FDA providing information on sex change operations and gender ideology.
Musk's response "Truly Absurd. Judges as website editors."
Senator Mike Lee, a lawyer by profession says, "These Judges are waging an unprecedented assault on legitimate Presidential authority, all the way down to dictating what webpages the government has." Lee is a former U.S. Assistant Attorney.

Judge Bates was apparently moved by a Plaintiffs' Attorney argument that the removal of the webpages will make it more difficult to treat High School kids who contract CHLAMIDYA!

Of course, Judge Bates has ignored the FACT that his wife Carol Rhees incorporated her own non-profit Hope for Children in Ethiopia and receives funding from USAID. At issue then is the Conflict of Interest of his wife being a beneficiary of USAID, which of course is what this case is all about.

Numerous issues about the propriety of Bates taking this case and his dictates regarding the Fed Agencies websites removal and restoration exist for an Appellate Court to resolve.

Go DOGE Go!!

For years I have made the argument that for us to ever tackle our debt we might need to consider some extra taxes on the rich. [it is not for this thread but i prefer "other" ways than income tax increase]. Our economy is being restructured in such a way that the rich are getting richer.
However I have also contended until anyone should support any tax increases the American people need to feel their money is well spent. I remain somewhat doubtful but more encouraged than in many years.
Between Trump's boldness and Musk's sheer force of will we are actually hearing about things happening.
USAID, Dismantle DOE, Federal Severance packages etc etc. We have a long long way to go but at least right now the D's have been so exposed they haven't been able to take the spending high ground they usually do.
I think it would be smart for the administration to do a small PR shift and start identifying areas where they KNOW they will spend money and say they will use money saved from these iniatives.
For example we know the FAA will need to spend money on ATC and updated systems. Trump could use the bully pulpit and Musk via X and get specific.
"I propose effective immediately we cut $20 billion frm USAID that had been used for xxxxx and move it to FAA to hire xxx thousand more ATC and update our traffic control system.
That is just an example but by specifically identifying cuts and specifically identifying spending he could avoid the age old "R's want to throw granny off the cliff" strategy or in this case "R's don't want to make the skies safer".

Planitir CEO Alex Karp

I have seen guy several times in the last few months and he is great. Tells it like it is.

His company runs specialized software used mainly by the defense department and counter terrorism intelligence. It is now being adopted by private industry. Its stock, which sadly I don’t own, had been on a tear.?

He was on CNBC this morning and was so fascinating they invited him back tomorrow. He said ‘Seriously? No one invites me back!’ Hope he is on agsin tomorrow.

Has hair like Einstein. Extremely well respected. Experts say his company is revolutionary. And he is another Silicon Valley dem that has seen the light and praises Trump.

Holy shit.......................... Spending other people's money is "virtuous." This is why these people are f'd up.

The Democrats trying to resist Elon Musk’s rampage across the federal government face a choice: How should they best alert the American people to the dangers he poses?

Do they lean into a defense of the system — of checks and balances, democratic norms, and institutions — and defend the virtues of foreign aid, federal spending, and the bureaucracy?
