Outstanding. More of this, please. Elon Musk is a white nationalist troll using the billions he made off government contracts to destroy this nation. Light. Him. Up.

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

The threat is real and Musk is toxic. Light him up.

Democrats need to run hard against Elon Musk. They need to warn the public that the world's richest man is spending $276 million to attempt a hostile takeover of our government.

Remember this when pundits and politicians tell us it would be a "weaponization of law enforcement" to hold Trump officials accountable for their crimes. *This* is what actual weaponization looks like.

The most corrupt and unethical president in US history by far.

X is the platform of choice for these smears. Musk himself pushed this conspiracy from his own account three times. Democrats need to go to war against Musk because he's already attacking them. He's deeply unpopular. And, as we saw in Wisconsin, voters recoil when he becomes an issue in a race.

And for this complaint to come from Bret Stephens -- who only has a cushy columnist gig at the New York Times because of their desire to be politically diverse and inclusive -- is fucking hilarious. You're the DEI hire, my man. You.

New story. This year, no other part of the Chiefs' roster received as many newcomers, draft capital & overhaul than the D-line. Peter Woods, R Mason Thomas & Khyiris Tonga were added to fix the pass rush. Have the Chiefs given Chris Jones enough help? www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Reminder that on his last day of his first term, Trump awarded a commendation to Dr Fauci "in recognition of his exceptional effort on Operation Warp Speed"

One more time: While many people insist they need to stay on Twitter to keep informed about the real world, staying on Twitter is more likely to misinform you about the real world. Stop marinating your brain in the right-wing fever swamp. It's actively making you dumber.

Worst part of the new @status.news report is that the Bari Weiss team appears to get its view of what is actually happening in the world from Twitter. They were asking Vega to include things that *weren't real* b/c they didn't know any better. www.status.news/p/cecilia-ve...

Both Marco Rubio and Elon Musk, who led the effort to sunset the foreign aid agency, have said that no deaths have been linked to the cutting of its funding. These parents tell a different story.

Congress can pass all the laws it wants, but this court will gut them unless Congress strips jurisdiction. We have to add four seats, have 18 year term limits with senior status and staggered appointments, and create actual ethics rules with consequences. Project 2029.

The Supreme Court gutted independent agencies. Congress must fight back. After the conservative majority’s ruling in Trump v. Slaughter, it’s up to the legislative branch to protect Americans.

IMO, hosting this MMA event at the WH is part of a larger project to rebrand the GOP as a populist party, shedding the Alex P Keaton stereotype it once carried. And in doing so, make them seem like the right party for working class people, even as they cut taxes for the rich & slash social services

good on him for not agreeing to lie about Renee Good, but the line they’re fighting over is already to the right of the truth. Throwing snowballs and kicking taillights does not make protesters “half” of the story about extrajudicial killings by paramilitary troops sent on a mission to terrorize.

Codifying Roe, passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and holding members of this administration criminally accountable are important goals, but none of it sticks without Supreme Court reform.

Trump: "I took three cognitive tests. Aced all of them, by the way. I'm the only president to take a cognitive test. I don't think Obama could pass it. The first question is very easy -- it's a lion, a giraffe, a bear, and a shark. They say, 'Which one is the bear?'"

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

All it would take is for a bunch of these CEOs to confront Trump in front of the world and tell him he's unfit to run a hot-dog stand, and his presidency would be over. Seriously. But none of them has the balls to do it.
