Text from article:
Dissenting crowds in deep-red Wyoming should be a warning signal to Republicans around the country. In November, state residents voted to send Trump back to the White House by a whopping 46 percent margin. But on Wednesday, roughly three-quarters of the hostile, 500-person crowd were there to oppose Hagemen and elements of Trump’s agenda, reported the Cowboy State Daily.

Musk has eyed slashes to Social Security. Changes are already underway: By DOGE’s demand, the Social Security Administration is nixing some 7,000 employees, or roughly 12 percent of agency staff, and closing offices around the country.

"Musk’s business troubles go well beyond the #TeslaTakedown protests... The myriad #safety issues plaguing #Tesla point to much broader issues with the company’s #business model. Its competitors might just be better at making #cars. The #Trump administration’s own policies aren’t helping, either."
