I'm guessing Yucca Valley is like a lot of central California, a dry version of Florida.

So, the MAGAs want to traumatize the federal workforce. I think the opposite is going to occur.

That was the outcome of World War 2 for sure. All those GIs came home and got educated!!! God damn those college boys! Plus insert all the other reasons why stopping a globe-menacing dictator is a good idea. Use short words because some of us are thick.

Fascinating

You have to think this is coming to a head. Nobody could see this an think this is a sane person.

One theory i had about the DOD shakeup is that Elon wants to end the F35 program. My buddy said he’s never going to be able to go up against the fighter mafia.

This is the fulcrum.

Lots of this sort of thing going on

Looks like the center-Right in Germany is going to get the win but that East Germany is almost all afD. That's Putin's old stomping grounds.

No, your Dem rep is already motivated. The people in the Red districts need to scare, shock and disrupt the GOP reps. The point is both protest and disruption of their lives.

it was 2010...the 15 year mark ago.

Per the poli sci guys the real wave elections come once every 15 years and will sweep away a lot of people not normally seen as marginal. The people who are able to stem the tide in those are the ones who keep their fingers on the pulse of their local electorates. Now, Elon can probably spend and carpet bomb campaigns in an unfettered way now that he's got control of the Federal Treasury for his own ends. Hard to measure the effects of Elonunism.

the ones in competitive districts that don't do them won't last long.

The spectacle of a town hall that goes bad will quickly turn to refusing to do town halls. Refusing to do town halls means they lose touch with the voter. That's what will cost them their seats. Elon's money is a powerful weapon but he also wasn't elected and he's ruining people's lives.

Kinzinger and Tim Miller were calling it today. The centrist Tea Party that rails against the power of Elon Musk is going to have legs. The Town Halls will have an impact.

He seems like a nice guy.

Be sure to keep your life alert on, honey. The paramedics are busy these days and they might not find your body until your Corgi has eaten your face.

Do they really want him stabbed by the Senate?

That's how you do it. Why not fight over the most marginalized people for the least important issue in the country. He's the problem. Not the trans kids.

Oh man.

Postal workers have a nice system of benefits. The envy of the Federal workforce. Also, they famously will respond to grievances via a strong union.

DOGE This?
