Protests are escalating across the nation to boot Elon Musk from the Trump White House. His arrogance and hell-bent determination to root out wasteful spending in federal agencies is angering affected workers, congressional reps and the general public. Not so much because he’s tasked to find money that can be saved but his disregard for the ‘human’ component. In other words, his cost-cutting tactics impact real people. People who don’t have discretionary wealth to fall back on, people whose livelihoods depend on the very programs Musk is eager to slash. His approach, driven more by cold efficiency than social responsibility, is fueling outrage as workers face job losses, critical public services are gutted, and communities brace for the fallout. Congressional representatives, even some within Trump’s own party, are voicing concerns that his aggressive cost-cutting measures could destabilize essential programs, from healthcare to infrastructure, disproportionately harming low- and middle-income Americans. Meanwhile, the protests intensify, with demonstrators demanding accountability and questioning why a billionaire with no public sector experience has been given such sweeping authority over the nation’s finances. The backlash is growing louder — as seen in the latest poll — and the question now is whether Musk will double down on his methods—or if public pressure will force the administration to rethink its strategy; Surveillance photos show China is getting ready for something; New Attorney General Pam Bondi just did something that doesn’t bode well for the US traditional view of justice; and Doubt climate change (still)? Just see the state of the world’s 4th largest lake. Go beyond the headlines…
