Exactly, it’s time to stop asking why the government isn’t stepping up. They’ve shown their hand and it’s time for us to take action and step up! Protests, riots, boycotts, French approach to the max.

Expand full comment

Exactly!! We can’t be tired right now. This is only the beginning and like with all bullies if you allow the bully to gain any traction he will only get a stronger holding. We have to fight back and organize.

Your exactly right time for all of us to revolt

That was actually said by Thomas Jefferson. But either way, it is very fitting today.

Please, don't give them an excuse to enact martial law. There's still so much more thay we can do without screwing everyone over even more completely. Email, call, and mail those cowards until their boxes and offices are stuffed full. Tell them you're going to primary them and boycott every business who ever "donated" to them. Bring the protests to your representatives' and senators' doors in person. Leave the guillotines at home, for now.

Yes, Project 25 says they want Martial Law.

Expand full comment

Not to riot that's what they want so he can us the military and other against you. but we should protest and boycotts. why he trying to do so many Orders.

Expand full comment

It’s foolish and blind to think that will be enough.

Where do we start? I have done the easy stuff, written and called my reps, stopped purchasing anything thats not essential. We need to organize and really fight back!! BUT HOW?!?

Expand full comment

I was on a call last night and they were saying that people should visit their Senators offices, in person.

We musk ask what would the French do?

Expand full comment

I agree! We are on our own now. Community based grass roots resistant movements are the way to go. There is one starting in my community.

Please get loud. Now.

The iPhone ping has become an essential part of Aaron’s videos. 😂

Expand full comment

I always “rewind” to make sure it’s his not mine!

Expand full comment

How is this legal and we don't have them arrested already?

Expand full comment

Exactly what I was thinking? An extremely large bank account gives you entrée ? Why is he not being arrested?

Expand full comment

Maybe cuz they fired all law enforcement. FBI essentially gone.

Expand full comment

Trump controls federal law enforcement and military

Expand full comment

They aren’t playing the same game anymore so those rules don’t apply

Expand full comment

They are really showing us how laws are only meant for the poor!

Expand full comment

Is this what they meant my presidential immunity? He can sign and do anything illegal he wants and no one can do Jack sht about it? I fkn hate it here! At this point the world needs to arrest him and fElon!!!

Expand full comment

Arresting the president now is essentially a coup.

Expand full comment

My dumb self didn't even think about this! Hopefully the Hague and some others can get Elon but he will probably never leave here if they do anything

Expand full comment

Amen!!! They need to do a full on takedown because fElon has also been in bed with that right wing pos in Canada and Germany’s AFD. Also of course Russia, and China I’m sure.

Expand full comment

Only took 4 weeks for Hitler to declare martial law correct?

Expand full comment

I keep telling myself that too and counting down and trying to sign every petition I can every day and make whatever calls I can, email whoever. People are surprised 🍊 💩 is actually doing the things he said but if anything it should tell us his next steps and how urgent we need these officials and perhaps even outside/int’l agencies to step in and sever this regime from us..

I don’t blame the Canadians for booing our national anthem.

Expand full comment

I hate that congress won’t stop this madness

Expand full comment

Both houses of Congress are Republican controlled. Those republicans do whatever Trump says.

Expand full comment

The irony of him, shutting off a Africa until people are treated fairly while he’s completely treating people in our own country systematically unfairly

To keep my sanity, this is the only news I watch, but from time to time I check in on other news outlets (around the world etc) and it’s fascinating to see the differences. I urge everyone to just check out FoxNews - they are literally not reporting on anything about what he is doing, and only hit pieces on what the Democrats are doing in response. So, for all of us who are frightened, there’s a huge amount of people who really think they “won” and everything is great. Unsettling times indeed. Thank you Aaron 🙏

Expand full comment

This key! His supporters only watch Fox or OAN. They live in an echo chamber of propaganda and are brainwashed to not trust any other media. It's frightening to me.

Expand full comment

Don’t I know it! My father (an immigrant himself) is unfortunately included amongst these blind followers. You would think he would at least be concerned for his grandkids but nope!

Expand full comment

This! I do this every day. I hear the crap that’s going on, click on Fox News website…zero reporting on the actual serious important problems. Zero.

So all things money that Musk is supposedly "saveing" from wasteful spending so going to get relocated where exactly? Is it lining Musk and Trumps pockets? Is it being given out to their supporters? Where is this money going? Also, why have lawsuits not been filed by all the people wrongfully terminated over DEI and so many other things he has done already?

Expand full comment

They should start their money saving strategy by finding out what the Pentagon is doing with all the missing funds. $824B unaccounted for just in the last audit. But they want to comb through funds meant to help regular people. Sure is exhausting being this great.

Expand full comment

The money is going to go to contracts for Elon musk

Expand full comment

No doubt.

Expand full comment

ARE WE PAYING MUSK AND DOGE EMPLOYEES A SALARY??? If so, please send them home without pay.

Expand full comment

He doesn't need a 'salary' He is buying power.

According to current estimates, Elon Musk holds roughly 1.6% of the US GDP which is considered a significant portion of the world's wealth, though not a direct percentage of all global money; his estimated net worth is around $436 billion as of January 2025. WTF!!! It would take 2,740 YEARS to spend 1Billion dollars at the rate of $1,000 per day. He has $436B

Expand full comment

I believe Elon has a plan of his own!

Expand full comment

Agree. I’m not half as worried about Trump as I am about Elon

Expand full comment

I agree. Trump is just vindictive and compulsive. Elon is calculated and very dangerous. Scary times!

Expand full comment

Why else would he drop the money he dropped into getting that idiot elected. He has a plan and it don’t include Trump beyond that sharpie.. I also think Vance is a bigger danger as well..

Expand full comment

How are we supposed to afford to live with all these tariffs? There’s going to be a war or something over this bc those countries aren’t going to just pretend like nothing happened if cheetoman tries to roll them back. I’m so scared.

Expand full comment

I agree with Ms. Eyler that this could lead to actual, physical war. Right now, we are already in an economic war.

Expand full comment

Please keep reporting on the Elon Musk situation taking over the government. This is really really important, I think it’s actually more important than the tariffs.

Expand full comment

Thank you for everything you do. I hope you're taking care of yourself the best you can 💙🙏🏻

Expand full comment

Great new format! So grateful for your clarity and hard work. Upgraded to paid.

And per messages. All of us are tired. But we need to GET LOUD! (Says this 78 year old who is shocked and horrified that we let this happen.)

The military needs to step in to protect our classified documents for hackers and people that have no security clearance.

Expand full comment

Aaron, legally speaking, isn’t any of this arrest-able? Treason??? Assault and battery threats for making tangible threats to federal workers that show up today??

Expand full comment

A trade war has serious consequences. When countries impose tariffs, prices on goods rise (we’ve seen our specific lists) > disrupts supply chains and hurting businesses > This leads to job losses/ economic instability/ and increased political tensions > Nations retreat into isolattion vs global cooperation > we the people shoulder the cost through higher living expenses and fewer jobs.

It doesn’t mean that there would necessarily be physical conflict. Especially with how isolated this continent is, but it doesn’t rule it out. You get economic strain but a ton more enemies + isolation from allies + competition for resources = higher risk for military escalation. Historically these are all excellent examples (political instability/ trade disputes / resource scarcity) of what leads to physical war, not just trade war.

I put a post up looking at if this could turn into war.
