Living the fever dream

I’m sorry to report that:
Musk in the Oval Office: Elon Musk, the billionaire supporter of President Trump, appeared with the president and defended his government reduction effort known as the Department of Government Efficiency. Mr. Musk asserted without evidence that his team had found major fraud and waste, assertions echoed by Mr. Trump. They denied that DOGE presented a conflict of interest for Mr. Musk. But his team has been dismantling federal agencies across the government, including some who were leading investigations, enforcement matters or lawsuits against his companies.
Gaza’s future: President Trump insisted on Tuesday that the United States would take control of Gaza and that other countries in the region, namely Jordan and Egypt, would take in the two million Palestinians who currently live there. The remarks were delivered alongside King Abdullah II of Jordan in the Oval Office. “We will have Gaza,” Mr. Trump said. “It’s a war-torn area. We’re going to take it. We’re going to hold it. We’re going to cherish it.” Read more ›
Anti-bribery law: Mr. Trump ordered a pause in the enforcement of a federal law aimed at curbing corruption in multinational companies, saying it creates an uneven playing field for American firms.
Musk used one of his little kids with a robot name as a kind of human shield while rambling on forever while Trump just sat there staring blankly.
Suspending the enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act is so insane I don’t even know how to begin to describe it. This is just the straight up legalizing of open bribery in international business transactions, which should come in handy when all those bids for building luxury condos in post-genocide Gaza go out.
On the other hand I just discovered Katie Crutchfield, who is amazing, so that’s good.
