@glynmoody and #MikeLee, a sitting US Senator since 2011, has threatened to move to have the USA *WITHDRAW FROM NATO* if the #EU issues this fine to #Musk.
Naaah, the #republicans aren’t corrupted by corporatism, why would anyone think that?

“It’s time to leave NATO and the UN.” His endorsement aligns with growing calls from some Republican lawmakers, including Senator #MikeLee, to reconsider the US commitment to the alliance.

"Congress? What’s that? The courts? Trump farts in their general direction.
Congress is absolutely missing in action. That is true of most Republicans and all members of the Utah delegation. But [Mike] Lee creates the most notable void because he used to be the one to care about this stuff."

Related to this, not that Mike Lee was ever anything but an opportunist.

#ElonMusk publicly calling for an end to all federal financial and environmental etc. regulations on a Twitter space with Senators #JoniErnst and "Based" #MikeLee:
"Regulations should be default GONE. Not default there. Default GONE. We need a wholesale spring cleaning of regulations. If we ever remove something good, we can BRING IT BACK. It's time to get the boot off of the neck of Americans. It's time to get ahead based on the function of your hard work and skill -- not regulations holding you back. This is not freedom. We've got to restore freedom."
Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) loves the word "aspersions." I fear he's leaving his Republican colleagues behind.
