Opinion by Robert Reich 4h
Its easy to be depressed, discouraged, dumbfounded by the cruelty and brainlessness of Trump and the people around him.
But today I want to celebrate what may be a turn in the Trump tide.
Elon Musk had to exit Trump world not because he couldnt continue as a special government employee (there are a hundred ways around this), but because most Americans have become infuriated with Musks attacks on things they value, like veterans benefits and Social Security. Musk had become a huge political liability.
I call this progress.
