Vance is pressuring Euro leaders to remove the "firewall" against fascism.https://t.co/D7MAS6jsp8

Americans say 2-to-1 that Elon Musk's influence in the administration is a bad thing.
They say 2-to-1 that they oppose him shutting down gov't programs.
And they are about 2-to-1 concerned about him accessing their data. pic.twitter.com/XALTfDW2Lv

This mom hired a Trump impersonator for her 3 year old son’s birthday party.
You can hear an adult tell the kid to “go dance with Donald Trump” and see the mom push the kid toward the Trump impersonator while YMCA plays in the background. pic.twitter.com/73xV5Ej1v9
