    Kennedy Jr has pledged to eliminate entire departments in FDA that oversee food safety and drug safety, dismissing 18,000 employers.

    Meanwhile San Francisco Chronicle reports Congressional Republicans are hard at work on series of bills to directly benefit President Musk. They include special tax breaks, contracts for his businesses, and removing California Coastal Commission's authority after the Commission had the nerve to deny Musk permission to fire 50 rockets off the California coast.

    Haha here we go again.

    Inauguration Day he’s rambling about Liz Cheney and ‘crying’ Adam Kinzinger.

    Kinzinger is so far in his head haha

    Yeah, the need to do far better, get some good candidates, and focus on the people and not the opponent.

    Never happen. Way too many people pay union dues and believe in solidarity...killing unions would be killing the GOPs approval rating and lose them a whole lot of votes.

    Problem is, Democrats have turned off so many blue collar union members that I'm not so sure this is the case...

    Trump won by winning the unions. Otherwise he wouldn't have won the rust belt.

    However, I hope you're right.

    Yeah, I could see him convincing his supporters that they don't need Unions and them following along blindly.

    It has nothing to do with Dems...if you take away union benefits and fair wages from all union workers...you lose votes pretty quickly...fool me once. They'll never succeed in wiping out the unions. It's unnecessary fear. Tell an auto worker he's going to be getting half a paycheck and no benefits and see what happens with teamsters and teachers and hospital workers and auto workers and on and on.....it'll never fly...your guns will be taken away before unions will disappear and nobody is taking your guns away. Trump bring legitimate fears to the country with his idiotic policy bluster but when push comes to shove, he'll follow the popularity of his bluster or walk it back and try another ketchup stain on the wall. Unions can collectively stop all business in the country overnight....forget the budget..trucks stop driving..docks don't get unloaded, goods sit at sea costing billionaires a fortune in losses. On the other hand, trans people and migrant workers should be very afraid of this administration.

    Nobody is going to tell them they'll be getting half a paycheck, though. They'll convince them it will be better and that they don't need unions.

    They won't actually know they've lost anything until the unions are disolved and made illegal.
