@rbreich.bsky.social : "Democrats ought to “defund Musk” and lay 'the groundwork for nationalizing Starlink and SpaceX.'" Hearing that, "free speech advocate" fElon came out of his K-hole, puffed up his pasty chest, & threatened Robert Reich. Musk sweaty? Hand him some Old Spice. 🧾 t2m.co/SLuarum
Imagine my surprise when I found out that Elon Musk wants to send me to prison. I assure you I’m not going to be intimidated. My response. ⬇️ https://robertreich.substack.com/p/musk-wants-me-imprisoned

As the article notes, he's running for the House in TN's gerrymandered 9th District against @justinjpearson.bsky.social, who was only four points behind in the polls when this story broke. Might be too late to pull it out, but wave elections can be tricky. If you're in the area, get involved!

So hard to pick a favorite part of this article. Pretending that sending unsolicited dick pics at 53 was a “youthful indiscretion” is good, but don’t sleep on the argument that his wife forgave him for subjecting other women to unwanted nude photos so everyone else should too
Republican congressional candidate Brent Taylor asks voters to forgive past sexual advances as "youthful indiscretions."

I know there’s a lot going, but 19 Republican AGs have said—in writing!—that pro-choice speech should be criminalized. Thats a Big Fucking Deal and it blows my mind that more people aren’t talking about it

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM
