Wondering where the Congressional indictments are for Musk and any Doge participants. Also wondering where the articles of impeachment are that have been suggested/promised/announced, and why is it taking so damned long when our country is literally at war with ICE? People are being harmed and are dying and where the hell are the DEMOCRATS! Collaborating will not be tolerated.

We the People are fed up with the dithering and cowardice. And where the hell are the EPSTEIN FILES!!!

All excellent questions but impeachment takes will, and numbers. When the midterms come, and they will, first thing to happen is all of these deplorables will have already jumped or been pushed from the ship. Those left will be impeached until the country and congress lose their taste for that. What we need then is investigations, indictments, arrests and trials. Lock them all up. I suggest we put them all on Little Jeff Island without food and water and see how clever the billionaires are then.

South Korea managed to convict and sentence its former president to prison time after his insurrection attempt. Only 8 Republican members of Congress - four per chamber - are needed to reassert Congress as a separate but equal branch. Anyone with a Republican representative or senator should be calling that office regularly.

They don’t have the votes. It’s not lack of will. It’s a failure on the part of the GOP. They need them, at least enough of them to impeach.

Oh, good...another private equity guy. Just what we needed. 🙄

Though brazen, it's not terribly surprising that Gracias would play fast and loose with Social Security information when his firm has flouted ethical considerations, acquiring Lykos Therapeutics while he was a DOGE staffer, a clear conflict of interest.

With this bunch, there is no conflict of interest. The ONLY interest is in how they can steal more money and power

This entire piece is about an alternative reality that these particular people would like to shove down our throats. Where are the billboards in Espanol in Mexico and Latin America touting immigration to the United States for free money free money? Where is the fn evidence? Big mouth big platform immigrant Leon the Nazi Musk says so? Fuck him. And fuck all these guys working to dismantle our democracy through their nefarious lies. Tell them Katy Bolger said so.

Also, congratulations on your well deserved award, Judd.

Hey there Katy. Adam Conway says you are absolutely correct and I'm standing with you and anyone else who feels the way that you, that we do!

Thank you, and to all of us for staying awake and not falling out from utter exhaustion and despair. The old man got gut punched yesterday didn't he? The pundits are finally seeing something that was so obvious to us eight years ago. He is unfit for office or anything else. He is a mean, disgusting, gross, stupid, avaricious, greedy, covetous, selfish, swindling, lying, vain beyond belief, and hideous creature. I would say "man" but I don't want to insult half the world by any association.

The Nyhan Prize was so well-deserved. A perfect example of why P.I. won it is today’s story.

If the DOJ was still legitimate instead of tRump’s personal "law firm” this would be devastating. And the “free press” won’t cover it so it won’t make a dent in public opinion. I hope I am wrong but I expect nothing will come of it. A very sad day.

'Musk has long amplified the conspiracy theory that Democrats are luring illegal immigrants to the United States by offering them government assistance'

Why would Musk hold these views?

because that is exactly what he did to get into our country. and so because he is corrupt he thinks everyone is. how unfortunate for our country he was given the keys to the kingdom.

The RNC is an organized crime syndicate run by traitorous, Fascist Billionaires. It’s time the RNC was dismantled; seize the assets of the RNC traitors and send them to Putin.

Damn right!

Congratulations, Judd and Team Popular Information on this newsletter -- and the blood, sweat and tears you put into it -- being conferred the 2025 David Nyhan Prize for Public Policy Journalism. It is so well deserved.

This is likely the most massive comprehensive corruption our Republic has faced, planned and executed by those unhappy selfish little boys who grew rich in a country with freedom and laws, scheming and dreaming how they can play the system to destroy it and rule over everyone. “Look at ME!l DADDY!!”

Every single person must push back in every single way possible against these tiny hearted little monsters.

Indict them all. But who? AG Pam? Not a chance. Save for 2029. BTW, any working person should know that everyone who is employed completes a W4 and thus needs an SS#. It is so routine why would anyone believe these fraud allegations, yet look at that Fox caption! Scandal! Outrage! But, in fact, televised criminal activity.

Stephen R's avatar

Are individuals with work permits given SS numbers for the express purpose of payroll deductions to pay taxes?

I will comment later about the Social Security Data story but I cant help myself….wouldnt it be great if the Nobel Committee gave Judd and Co. an award for distinguished journalism? Do you think anyone would be upset? Ha! Ha!

Congrats on a job well done. Judd, yours was my very first substack and I have had zero regrets for subscribing!

Congratulations on your very deserved award!🥇 I hope these DOGE folks have to answer for their interference and harm they have done!
