KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Trump’s Genius for Trolling the Dems Just Keeps Getting Better. “While those of us who voted for Trump are resting comfortably at night now that the adults are back in charge, the Dems are stalking his every move and utterance in search of their next useless tantrum.”

GET IT PASSED WITH ONE BIG, BEAUTIFUL VOTE: Republicans Take First Step in Creating ‘One, Big, Beautiful Bill’ of Trump Priorities.
ANTI-EXTREMISM, YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG: ‘Students Against Nazi Extremism’ warn Tesla owners to sell their cars – or else.
A group calling itself “Students Against Nazi Extremism” is reportedly issuing threats to Tesla owners ito sell their vehicles or they will be vandalized, according to a local media report.
Lost Coast Outpost reports that residents in Humboldt County in northern California found notes left on their Teslas saying “no Nazis in America.” At least one of the notes was tied to a brick, according to local media reports.
The group mailed a supposed manifesto to the news outlet claiming responsibility for the notes. The manifesto also issued threats to Tesla owners in Rohnert Park in Sonoma County north of San Francisco, Hayward in Alameda County in the city’s East Bay, and Seaside in Monterey County.
I spent six years in Northern California, including four in Humboldt County, so the stupidity, intolerance, and comical lack of self-awareness come as no surprise.
NOT SCREWING AROUND: Tom Homan Refers AOC to DOJ for Investigation.
CHANGE? NATO Sec-Gen Bends to VP Vance: ‘You Are Absolutely Right, We Have to Grow Up.’ “I also want to thank you personally for everything you have done over the years in engaging with Europe. It has been noted before, and it’s really important. And I look forward also from that perspective to our talks and on Europe stepping up, the European part of NATO stepping up. You’re absolutely right. It has to be done. We have to grow up in that sense and spend much more.”
FLORIDA MAN FRIDAY [VIP]: Assault With a Deadly… Neck Massager, I Swear. “It’s time for your much-needed break from the serious news, and this week we have assault with a deadly… you know, the lawnmower-based mailbox assault, and I’m still trying to figure out what Texas Man did wrong with that Port-a-Potty.”
THE PROBLEM TURNED OUT TO BE SO EASY TO FIX THAT IT’S ALMOST AS THOUGH THE CRISIS UNDER BIDEN WAS ENTIRELY BY DESIGN: Illegal border crossings hit record lows after Trump’s swift crackdown — and could be on track for levels not seen in 60 years.
IT’S ALL TRUE:
It should be a political imperative among conservatives to let the left continue training all their fire — outside of Lawfare 2.0 — on Elon Musk.

Of course, everything Benjamin wrote in Musk’s defense is exactly why Democrats try to vilify him.

THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE DOING:
DOGE: "Legally untouchable because it was already fully funded and operational. Congress can't defund it because it's not a new program, just a repurposed one. Since the (prior program) was originally an IT oversight program, DOGE now has full access to all Federal data systems.… https://t.co/x7wTfJOSzQ

OH: Over half of LLM-written news summaries have ‘significant issues’—BBC analysis. “In an extensive report published this week, the BBC analyzed how four popular large language models used or abused information from BBC articles when answering questions about the news. The results found inaccuracies, misquotes, and/or misrepresentations of BBC content in a significant proportion of the tests, supporting the news organization’s conclusion that ‘AI assistants cannot currently be relied upon to provide accurate news, and they risk misleading the audience.'”
So AI isn’t really any worse than the Beeb is.
THEY’RE CERTAINLY TAKING A HARD LOOK: Is DOGE Going to Kill the F-35?
UGH: 10 Days From Natl Elections, Another ‘Immigrant’ Drives Another Car Into a German Crowd.
Ten days are left to the national elections for the Bundestag, called in the wake of a no-confidence vote after the collapse of Olaf Scholz’s ruling coalition last November.
There is a lot on German plates right now and a ton of anxiety on the part of formerly comfortable centrist/center-left parties for whom elections were basically perfunctory exercises.
A rising populism in response to their decades of indulgence in the most extreme and radical versions of progressive schemes from NetZero to unfettered immigration without assimilation has knee-capped the once mighty German industrial state, devastated economic growth, and endangered its citizens while destroying their standard of living.
More and more, as events unfold, Germans are signaling they want not just their country back but their Germany back, even as the ruling elites who have brought them to this state chastise and warn them of the dangers of feeling like Germans.
Fueling much of the resentment has been the waves of immigrants who have flooded unhindered into the country and the ‘cultural differences’ they have brought with them that have impacted the lives of everyday Germans adversely across the country.
Much more at the link, including the attacker’s “mental illness.”
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Screw Seed Oils, I’m Giving RFK Jr. a Chance. “Let us pause for a moment to enjoy the political theater going on here. Donald Trump, Republican Destroyer of Worlds, Orange Man Bad, and Literally Hitler has a Kennedy in his Cabinet. And it’s not one of those Kennedy cousins we only hear about when he or she goes to rehab.”
WELL, BYE: Roughly 75,000 federal employees agree to Trump’s buyout offer.
Roughly 75,000 federal employees have accepted President Donald Trump’s deferred resignation program, after the U.S. Office of Personnel Management offered more than two million federal civilian employees buyouts in January to leave their jobs or be forced to return to work in person.
Employees who accepted the so-called “fork in the road” offer will retain all pay and benefits and be exempt from in-person work until Sept. 30, a move that’s part of a broader attempt by the Trump administration to downsize the federal government.
“We have too many people,” Trump told reporters Tuesday in a press briefing. “We have office spaces occupied by 4% — nobody showing up to work because they were told not to.”
The White House confirmed to Fox News Digital that numbers had climbed to 75,000 as of Thursday morning.
You gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers.
