Elon isn’t finding “waste” — he’s finding spending he doesn’t agree with.
Elon isn’t finding “fraud” — he’s firing, purging, and accessing personal data with no transparency or accountability.
Elon isn’t finding “abuse” — he’s flagrantly breaking laws.

DOGE is smoke and mirrors.
Want proof?
It claimed $1.75B in “savings" from terminating a USAID grant that had … already been paid out in full.
Total savings = $0

Kamala warned us about Trump’s Project 2025 playbook. And they called her a liar.
She was right. They were wrong. And they knew it.
Donald Trump’s Project 2025 would eliminate the Department of Education and get rid of Head Start.
His agenda was written by some of the same people who suggested enslaved people benefited from slavery and who are trying to ban books. We must teach America’s full history.

I’m proud to endorse @KamalaHarris. The choice this November could not be more clear. Let’s unite as a party and get to work.
My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.
