A man on a plane told me he was “writing a book” with AI. I asked him if when he finished said book and everyone summarized it with AI, will that have been reading it? I hope that buried into his psyche and destroys any chance of future progress “not writing”.

Some better apology suggestions (besides just implementing DEI again) *start selling “say no to fascism” merch front and center *pressure legislators to impeach the president *pressure Congress to take back control of tariffs (although this one is also in your own best interests)

America yelling about a trade deficit with other countries while unemployment *was* historically low and our wealth is the highest in the world is like the rich kid at the table yelling that he didn’t get ice cream with his cake while other children are sitting there with empty plates.

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!” @USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?” NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY* (not sure this went quite as he planned 😬)

So, has anyone written a novel about a resistance led by park rangers? For some reason, I’m currently subsisting on dystopian fiction and non-fiction (current novel is about a WWII spy so I suppose you could call that “dystopian non-fiction”). #booksky

Some staffers at Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing robust taxpayer-funded salaries of over six figures—sometimes from the very federal agencies they are slashing and burning. buff.ly/HUGIm2n

Crockett: This is not what we should be doing. I don’t even know why we’re fighting with Greenland. We’re fighting with Greenland, Canada, and Mexico—yet we’re in love with Putin?!

Fun fact, Trump has paid more for sex than he has in taxes over the last two decades. The more you know..🫰

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

This letter is a work of art. “He’s so completely absorbed in an unwinnable war with his own insecurities that he has unwittingly become the Persian cat to Musk’s Blofeld…so preoccupied with revenge that his pussy has been grabbed by the Stay-Puft billionaire.”
