Were the J6 insurgents arrested after the horrific trashing of the Capital and in full view attempting to overthrow an election? They were sent home and told they were special and loved. Noting has changed other than Biden/Harris are gone and Harris was shown the exit door. This is what we as a nation chose and we have lost the respect and trust of our allies. That is how I see it tonight.
DC Capitol Police? Maryland National Guard?, Elements in the FBI (or CIA), NY State National Guard, Elements of the US military? That's a really good question.
Maybe someone in congress, say a Democratic US Senator or Congressperson can provide some guidance regarding jurisdictional authority. Then there needs to be the will and intestinal fortitude to actually take him into custody. Maybe they should start with the upstart IT minions he's been employing. These kids have to know they are conducting themselves afoul of the law.
I have been saying this for days. Why hasn’t he been arrested! It terrifies me, what he’s doing. But it’s also just illegal and no one else would get away with this.
Who do you think should arrest Musk? Which body of law enforcement? The only thing possible since there is no authority not under Trump that can do so would be a citizen's arrest. Hope to see you tonight for an open discussion regarding Musk hosted by Common Cause. Good question. Keep asking. They listen to us.
Common Cause has a meeting tonight and it is open re: MUSK 8 pm Eastern and 5 pm Central.
No one (senator, rep, legal authority) talks about what can be done to get Elon out of there. Isn’t he and minions breaking the law by examining private data of citizens. I never consented to that!
Of course, they are breaking the law. That's what Trump, Musk, and all the rest of them do. They don't want anyone who isn't white—it's despicable! These people have no morals, ethics, respect for the rule of law or the Constitution. This is why they are being sued in the courts.
valid concern -- there is a terror stretching over our nation being endured by the parents for their children -- there are so many reason to be concerned form them disabled or not -- but the most vulnerable to be treated in this way is pure evil -- and intolerable -- I'm losing sleep and having nightmares for three weeks -- this is war
Democrats don't have the legislative votes to do much of anything. They are going to join some lawsuits, but other than that, perhaps arresting him but at the turtle pace courts move, will it accomplish much and, will we find someone that will arrest hm in Trump's Washington?
Check out the meeting on Elon Musk tonight when all of this will be discussed. The Democrats do not have the votes as Jim Acosta said when addressing your question. See you tonight?

Hello Juaqin and Jim.. we are in such trouble as a country.. it’s frightening.. trump is doing what he wants, period. And has the congress rolling with him. We’re on our way to a dictatorship.. it’s doesn’t matter if it’s illegal, they’re doing it anyway.. 😡😡
Look at Georgia right now. It was a democracy. My friend is from Georgia and her beautiful children now adults were thriving there -- to day they are under siege. Look at Russia not long ago with people in the streets protesting and they lost. It happens.
All of this is appalling. Where is the system of checks and balances? The republicans are truly spineless. Who is the President? Mr. Trump or Elon Musk? All I’m Hearing is that everything he has done is illegal. So where are the lawsuits or injunctions?
Trump is POTUS and holds the power. Musk is a private citizen and holds the purse. Check their motives to determine what they will do. A man who is rich craves power. A man who has power craves money. This is a saying as old as the hills born out of years of malfeasance against humanity.
We elected a criminal and gave him power. A rich man purchased that power in exchange for providing wealth. Our Treasury not so much the money but the data is more valuable today than gold. I believe Musk is mining it and Trump has bidder who will buy it.
Why would we expect anything else from Trump. He stole documents and refused to return them, and I believe much is unaccounted for as well. He did not steal the documents to put in his Presidential Library or on the bookshelf. He sold it to the highest bidder. There was much talk about lives at risk. He sold that information.
This is all about power and money. We elected a criminal and we are witnessing his crimes. Adam Kinzinger spoke of it last night. It is all about control and we do not have the power. The democrats do not have he votes. They are impotent today as Jim Acosta said tonight. Adam said when you are in the minority it is ALL ABOUT THE MESSAGING. The democrats need to improve on THE MESSAGING which influences the narrative.
Meanwhile we must do what the people always do -- roll up our sleeves and make our voices heard. Show up. There is little time for anything else right now. This is real.
I swear we are in shock, but the reality is truly what we heard from Biden. It's on us now. There is no guarantee, but we are in for a battle, and it may go on for a while or be over within a month or two. We are in the same denial of the person being told they are dying but there is treatment with no guarantees. The treatment with no guarantees is taking to the streets, showing up at meetings, drumming and drumming on the doors of representatives. We've never done this before, but we can do it. We did the pandemic without any leadership. We can do it. It is time to get going. Engage and just jump in. But wear your masks!
Question: Reporting out of Washington state suggest that money may have been turned off to the state's Head Start program. Looks suspiciously like Musk's rats may be experimenting with shutting off the money spigot to a Blue State. Thoughts?
Could very well be. Could also be that they never figured out how to fix any glitches their tinkering around might cause. They had to do their dirtywork swiftly, so it's hard to fix when you've pulled something sneaky to begin with. I know the judge had required proof that the same agencies that got the memo would also get another notice letting them know to disregard the OMB memo. Well, the affected agencies probably got the memo, but I don't know if the judge required these folks to ensure the funding pipeline continued to work. At a certain point, I'm waiting for these folks to stop paying attention to lawsuits and court orders, like trump.
So good. Caught this one live. Amazing how much (oddly) calmer I feel when I believe I'm being told what's actually going on. Another great interview. Another great analysis. So refreshing to hear the "news" from someone who reflects the seriousness of what's happening. Will be blocking out 4 p.m. now so I can get your updates. Be careful out there. I can't imagine you won't get pushback from what I've seen in just these 2 episodes. Let's get loud. :)
I saw a couple buyers remorse videos on TikTok and a few of them looked real. The guy in Texas whose wife got deported after delivering their twins, is one of those. People who voted for trump to help their bottom line are starting to get squirrely that everyone's bottom line seems to be going through Musk.
Another excellent show. You have really hit the ground running! We are so lucky to have you during this especially chaotic, dangerous and just scary time. It was helpful today to hear from Rep Castro the truth that this is not just for politicians to solve now. I appreciated your commentary on what is happening with Musk and the dangers of RFK. It is time for people to look to examples in other countries where the people have stopped or overthrown dictators. The people of Georgia, Syria, Poland and even the very recent situation in South Korea give us good examples and inspiration. Musk has money but we are many, many more people than he can buy. Thank you again for being a calm voice. It is nice to listen to news without having to breathe into a paper bag. Where’s Duke?
They are interfering with NIH grant payments for even pre-approved grants. I know there is now a restraining order but they are essentially just ignoring it. What can be done about this?
I think they have reasoned that the TROs might be unenforceable. They're also moving faster than a court can move against them. It doesn't seem that they care about any TRO or law, etc. Totally lawless.
I’m feeling there are many racists in our legislative bodies, what is the next step in dealing with it? How do we deal with any of it? We have to gather and raise our voices as one. After protesting the Vietnam War, at 72, I never thought I’d feel the need to do that again.
So why has Musk not been arrested? If this was being done by a Democrat i guarantee they would have been arrested.
That's what the Democrats need to do. They need to use every obscure tool in the toolbox to give them some of their own.
Who would arrest? We have no federal police anymore.
What about the DC National Guard?
The President controls the National Guard in DC. Remember, he wouldn’t authorize them on Jan. 6.
Oh shoot. I was thinking the DC leadership had control but you're right.
Were the J6 insurgents arrested after the horrific trashing of the Capital and in full view attempting to overthrow an election? They were sent home and told they were special and loved. Noting has changed other than Biden/Harris are gone and Harris was shown the exit door. This is what we as a nation chose and we have lost the respect and trust of our allies. That is how I see it tonight.
Who is going to arrest him? On whose authority? Maybe a rogue element in law enforcement. I haven't seen anything to inspire any confidence.
What about the DC National Guard?
DC Capitol Police? Maryland National Guard?, Elements in the FBI (or CIA), NY State National Guard, Elements of the US military? That's a really good question.

Because the republicans are complicit.

I agree with exactly what you are saying. No one is doing anything about removing Musk.
We will be speaking about it tonight 8 pm Eastern Time. My first meeting. Subject: MUSK

As a teacher, I am very concerned my students will lose some of their federal protections especially my students with disabilities
valid concern -- there is a terror stretching over our nation being endured by the parents for their children -- there are so many reason to be concerned form them disabled or not -- but the most vulnerable to be treated in this way is pure evil -- and intolerable -- I'm losing sleep and having nightmares for three weeks -- this is war
What are Democrats going to do about Musk?
Yes, Democrats, law enforcement, and Independents.

Musk
Elon is attacking our country on behalf of foreign adversaries. Congress must act!
How about the FBI (only few days left before Katel takes over!!!) or CIA
What did they do in Brazil? What did they do in S. Korea. Whatever it takes.
Your straightforward approach, level-headed analysis, and compassion during these crazy times is very reassuring. Another great show!
Musk thinks he is President Trump is his puppet
Maybe that's too close to the truth.
Question: Reporting out of Washington state suggest that money may have been turned off to the state's Head Start program. Looks suspiciously like Musk's rats may be experimenting with shutting off the money spigot to a Blue State. Thoughts?
I believe the little slave boys are trespassing ... they should be removed, forcibly if necessary

I have friends who are Trump supporters and even they are against Musk with his hands in everything
I don’t believe that for a minute. Seriously. No offense.
I saw a couple buyers remorse videos on TikTok and a few of them looked real. The guy in Texas whose wife got deported after delivering their twins, is one of those. People who voted for trump to help their bottom line are starting to get squirrely that everyone's bottom line seems to be going through Musk.
Let's hope that trend continues to the rest of the trump supporters who are willing to admit they guy isn't perfect.

We keep hearing what they are doing is against the law, or they can’t do it but here we are, they’re doing it. Now what.
