Sounds like he never left

Only yesterday, they said he was no longer in the government.

His job there is done

He did all the damage he could.

UPDATE 06/27/2025:

Ooops. Spoke too soon.

Is the honeymoon over?

Ask Trump to get him on the horn for you.

UPDATE 02:35 pm: Looks like Johnson hasn't gotten hold of him yet.

Just the latest sucker to find out that loyalty to Trump is not a two-way street.

The bill he wants to kill is, of course, the Big Beautiful (budget) Bill. After Joni Ernst's comments, perhaps it would be better called WAGDA - the We're All Going to Die Act. (h/t nearly useless Chuck Schumer) My Congressional Rep, Bill Foster, calls it the Big Bag of BS Bill.

"Now that the divorce is happening with Elon Musk, who is gonna get Big Balls? I'm worried about him."-- Rep. Jared Moskowitz

UPDATE 06/05/2025:

He's not mad at Trump, he's mad at House Republicans.

Trump 2.0 - We staff with criminals

"It takes only a bit of knowledge of history to realize how dangerous it is to think that the people who run the country know what they are doing." -- Howard Zinn

"It’s not about not having something to hide; it’s about having something to lose. What we lose when we’re under observation is our humanity...Rights are inherent to our nature, they’re not granted by governments, they’re guaranteed by governments. They’re protected by governments." -- Edward Snowden

"Terrorism is the willingness to kill large numbers of people for some presumably good cause.” -- Howard Zinn

"What we have is a foreign policy which is essentially a marketing strategy for selling weapons." -- Jill Stein

Life, as Explained in "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead"

GUILDENSTERN: What a fine persecution---to be kept intrigued without ever quite being enlightened.

------
ROSENCRANTZ : The only thing that makes it bearable is the irrational belief that somebody interesting will come on in a minute.

------
GUILDENSTERN: But for God's sake what are we supposed to do?!

PLAYER: Relax. Respond. That's what people do. You can't go through life questioning your situation at every turn.

GUILDENSTERN: But we don't know what's going on, or what to do with ourselves. We don't know how to act.

PLAYER: Act natural. You know why you're here at least.

GUILDENSTERN: We only know what we're told, and that's little enough. And for all we know it isn't even true.

PLAYER: For all anyone knows, nothing is. Everything has to be taken on trust; truth is only that which is taken to be true. It's the currency of living. There may be nothing behind it, but it doesn't make any difference so long as it is honoured. One acts on assumptions.

------
GUILDENSTERN : We act on scraps of information... sifting half-remembered directions that we can hardly separate from instinct.

------
PLAYER: Life is a gamble, at terrible odds-if it was a bet you wouldn't take it.
