Stress over the insidious machinations of Donald Trump’s government has many Americans on constant high alert, as we keep a keen eye on the politicians who made his second term a reality.
But there are more figures in the political arena than just those soulless sellouts. While people like Elon Musk — not technically a politician, but increasingly one of the most powerful men in the world — Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Mitch McConnell pull focus, there are actual hardworking Representatives working overtime to slow their dangerous aims.
Take 2024 takedown of aforementioned MTG, and soon became a Democratic superstar.
She’s keeping up the superheroics now that Trump is officially in office, and she’s speaking for all of us as she unleashes that infamous vocabulary on Elon Musk. She spoke the two words on all of our minds in response to a question from a reporter, and it didn’t even require clever wordplay. We can still look forward to her eventual labeling of Musk as a Meager, Malignant, Maladjusted, Malevolent Man, but for now she’s simply telling the DOGE head to “f*** off.”
NEW: I just asked Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett if she had a message to Elon Musk.

What would she say to him? Here was her answer:

Is it the most eloquent thing Crockett has ever said? Absolutely not. But was it the most satisfying development in state-side politics of the week? You bet it was. It follows directly in the wake of a similar sentiment from former MSNBC favorite Don Lemon, who yesterday told Megyn Kelly to “go f*** yourself,” after she made disparaging comments about former MSNBC host Joy Reid.
The kid gloves are finally coming off, for at least some of our national leaders, and it’s a wonder to behold. For years now — decades, really — the Democratic Party has taken on the role of the adult, while the GOP flails, complains, and bends the rules to its whim. We will always love Michelle Obama for going high when they go low, but the time for that kind of mature leadership seems to have ed. If we want to beat them, we have to play their game, and Crockett is quickly becoming a pro.
She’s not alone in that, but her latest clap-back proves Adam Kinzinger, or Jasmine Crockett pop off? All of a sudden he’s invested.
If some name calling is what it takes to rile people up enough to fight back, so be it. More power to the likes of Crockett and Lemon, who — despite the criticism they’ll receive for their straightforward approach — are finally saying it like it is. Call a spade a spade, call a Nazi a Nazi, and when someone steals your government, attacks your friends, or tries to install a dictator, tell them to f*** right off.
