June 7, 2025

Trump and Musk had a fight? We can get back to talking about the really important stuff.

Musk disappointed with ‘big, Beautiful Bill’
June 4, 2025

Elon Musk seems ready to illustrate this adage yet again while testing exactly how big a tent the Republican Party of 2025 really is. Mere days after departing as a special government employee running the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk has said the White House-backed, House-passed “Big, Beautiful Bill” is actually a “disgusting abomination.”

The Empire strikes back
April 29, 2025

News this week that Elon Musk will soon be departing his “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) is a grim reminder of what happens when you challenge big spending DC. Unfortunately, the lesson once again is that when you challenge the empire, the empire eventually strikes back.

Ending militarism in America
April 7, 2025

I read the news today, oh boy. About a lucky man named Elon Musk. But he lost out on one thing: he didn’t get a top secret briefing on Pentagon war plans for China. And the news people breathed a sigh of relief.
