Elon Musk dismantled USAID programs that provided lifesaving assistance to millions of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people. The human cost was enormous, while DOGE’s net fiscal impact was inconsequential. Now, as Musk approaches trillionaire status, he should commit/tithe at least $100 billion to a fund dedicated to combating extreme poverty, hunger, preventable disease, and humanitarian crises worldwide. Money alone cannot undo the damage already done. But if this moment marks an unprecedented personal financial milestone, it should also be an opportunity for an unprecedented act of restitution. Musk has the resources to save and improve countless lives. He should use them.

Hello Senator.... This November it will be 50 years since you were first elected to Congress, so we want to be the first to say . "Happy 50th Anniversary of drawing a taxpayer funded salary." That is quite an achievement. In fact - you are 2nd longest-still serving member in Congress. It has been a long time since you held a private sector job. AND yes 50 years ago - in 1976 (it was America's Bicentennial that year) - people still punched clocks back then. The world has changed a lot. During your 50 years in Congress - you watched as the creators and inventors and producers changed the world, creating trillions in new wealth, millions of new jobs and dramatically raising living standards for everyone rich and poor alike. And for 50 years you have voted to raise taxes and regulate and oversee every move of the private sector. You have never created or invented or produced. Just taxed and regulated and outraged. But thank you for using the platform the "TRILLIONAIRE class" has provided to the entire world for free to tell us all how disgusted you are. We would never know otherwise.

Fun fact: NOT ONE PERSON IN THE US HAS DIED OF MEASLES IN 2026. Not one. We've had a total of 127 measles hospitalizations this year - 0.001% of all hospital stays. And the outbreaks peaked FIVE MONTHS AGO. I favor measles vaccination. But can the media please drop the drama?

I was officially on 2 combat missions with the USAF. On one sortie, the guys fired cruise missiles and we took ground fire. They—the airmen—were “in combat.” I was not. I was a reporter embedded to report on what they were doing. It’s not the same thing. In my opinion.

The real question is who ends up paying the difference. Tax cuts are popular until the bill shows up somewhere else.

The problem isn’t the idea of tax relief. The problem is the “Save Our Homes from Excessive Property Taxes” bill and what it actually does, what it removed, what it left undefined, and what it hands off to Tallahassee. georgekruse.substack.com/p/s…

This will be how Florida ends up with a personal income tax.
