tRumpo wants to destroy the #NRC

The NRC regulates (and billionaire owners HATE being subject to consequences of unrestricted greed) nuclear power AND NUCLEAR WEAPONS in the US.

It's imperative that something this critical remains independent, FUNCTIONAL, not a plaything of a grifter.

This April — while deportations flourished and DOGE took its chainsaw to Federal agencies — Musk’s Neuralink misrepresented itself as a 'small disadvantaged business' in a federal filing — to receive preferential treatment. Soon after, the company closed a $650 million funding round — placing a $9 billion valuation on it. Among the investors: fellow billionaire Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund.

“…everything Trump does is about enriching himself. Enriching himself at the expense of the American people.

“Everything is more expensive. It’s harder to buy food, to afford a home, to start a family, or to retire with dignity than it was when Trump took office.
“Meanwhile, Trump has made billions—off merchandise, meme coins, even a private jet he allegedly took as a bribe. Sixty to seventy percent of his net worth has been generated since January of his first term. He’s getting exactly what he wants: money, power, and the ability to go after political opponents—whether they’re at Harvard or in the U.S. Senate.” —Mike Nellis, political analyst and former sr. advisor to VP Kamala Harris #USPol #USPolitics #TrumpAdministration #Grift #inflation

Knowing a casino owner in Las Vegas for over 50 years he told me more than once having casinos is like a license to print money. Three out of four of Trump’s bankruptcies were tied to casinos. This is the stable genius running America. Running the country like his businesses. Gee ya think he is doing a good job? People are losing their jobs. People are dying. People are suffering.
Just saying. #trump #casino #bankrupt #vegas #potus #president #money #tariffs #grift #greed #criminal #impeach
