Man oh man, Joy, you're singing my song. This business of Musk and his rich pals dancing around the White House with their hands in the U.S. Treasury INFURIATES me!! For the first time in my life, I'm considering NOT paying taxes this year. And, frankly, I think no one should. After all, Musk paid NOTHING in taxes last year! Why the Hell should we part with our hard earned dollars so he can find ways to steal it? Not to mention the access he now has to ALL of our information...not just yours and mine, but all military personnel, all government workers, members of Congress....on and on. And we must remember that the creep wasn't elected by anyone and is running a side-scam (OEwhatever) illegally!!! We gotta get RID of these people before I have an aneurism!!
It's shocking, and probably illegal, but a judge has to block him or someone has to sue. Of course the data has already been off-loaded... so na-na-na-na-naaaa-nah!
This was an excellent column today, bringing in intriguing thoughts from different sources. I loved Ezra’s thought regarding all of the negatives we’re seeing. I began humming the old tune “Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative” and based on your column we need to do the actual reverse: Accentuate the negative. Over and over again. Spread the word and drive T…p’s “approval rating” into the toilet.
While I had considered dropping the NYT to get relief from Trump ‘Enfant Terrible’ and Musk Monster it has become clear that to avoid the reality of their actions to bring about the extinction of our democracy would be irresponsible. Thank you for keeping our sights on the unsightly and if the law and constitution cannot hold at bay the onslaught of the attacks against America’s citizens and their rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, I can’t even finish that thought…
I’ve been seriously hacked. Mostly by hackers used my cc for political campaign donations and I have cancelled my cc’s, torn them apart and now can’t use online money. Screw it.

How about: Accentuate their negatives and eliminate our gutlessness! ?
And a happy Ground Hog Day to you too!
Did he see his shadow? I missed that report...
Yes, he did. Groundhog Day 2025: Punxsutawney Phil predicts six more weeks of winter! I don't know if his prediction applies to Oregon, though.
Not here.

Thanks, Joy. You've offered up some interesting takes on this clusterf--k. I'm going to have fun calling a few red state Reps.

Ouch! I'm sorry. That sucks.
