I sure hope they kiss and make up because I love both these guys, and not just because it's June. I agree about the Epstein List; the real question is whether Epstein was running a CIA entrapment operation.
A spat was inevitible. But Elon did turn it up to 11. Somehow i think it was all probably planned in advance. The drama. They know how to write an entertaining show. The bill is a slap in the face but probably about the best they could do. And I hated that breakup movie.
There is law about what reconciliation bills can do, and the DOGE cuts are some of the things a reconciliation bill cannot do. The CBO scoring is, as always, divorced from the reality on the ground, but that's mandated by law also. There are so many arcane and counter-intuitive policies in DC that it's obvious why so much of what they do seems so perverted. And since most of our representatives are cowards, no one is willing to try to change it.
Steve, Steve, Steve... do you really think Linda McMahon was hired to run the Department of Education? This is her most brilliant staged fight ever.
I'm just surprised that some major not-so-great news wasn't dropped on the same day. Perhaps Elon jumped the gun - aren't Washington bad news dumps usually a 5pm on Friday night?
Those are hilarious memes. Somehow this saga will end in more winning

I hate how public this is. It is nuts for Trump to do this. Just let Musk do his thing.
So good. The WIP isn’t the same….

Great column and memes, Steve -
This silliness might revive fake news networks.
