Don't forget just months ago Musk appeared to be doing a nazi salute and has played a direct role in gutting social security administration and number of other agencies and wants to gut the budget more. This kind of wankery is beyond stupid and shameless.

Letting the dogs at the rescue centre pick their own toy.. 😊

After months of ignoring our Constitution, it seems the Trump Administration has relented to our demands for compliance with court orders and due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia. This has never been about the man — it’s about his constitutional rights and the rights of all. Full statement:

There it is. Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) says Republicans’ next goal is to kick seniors off Social Security: “Get off of Social Security. Get back into the workforce.”

Your bill is going to cut coverage for 11 million Americans and it’ll still cost more than universal healthcare. Healthcare is a human right, you absolute ghouls.

I had a blast talking with the ladies of The View about (what else?) #TheLifeOfChuck which opens in limited engagements TODAY June 6th and everywhere next Friday the 13th. (luckily I’m not the least bit superstitious) 🤞

“Jasmine’s great, but Jasmine’s also sometimes flamboyant.” What does "flamboyant" means here @beyer.house.gov? If flamboyant means @repjasmine.bsky.social is the one who is fighting the Trump regime - then yes - she is the one who should be at the tip of the spear leading Democrats.

If Thom Tillis gets what he wants, Medicare gets slashed, Medicaid gets gutted, and North Carolinians are left paying more and getting less.

If you strip away the egos and shitposting, the Trump-Musk feud is really an argument over how comprehensively to screw over poor and working people—over how best to make our society a meaner, crueler, less equal, more savage place. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1962...

And it's @drewmagary.bsky.social from the top rope: www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

Enough with the fucking “this is a distraction” bullshit. That’s your cowardice speaking. It is incredibly easy to say “These people are exactly the same as the messiest disasters you personally know, and would you want those people in charge of your daily budget? Your house? Your healthcare?”

its not about converting trump voters im tired of repeating this. why can't people understand it. you get your voters and unaligned voters enthusiastic. you create a movement. if trump voters wanna come along? great. but you do your thing.

The Democrats should not stand by and watch. Get involved. Get dirty. Be unseemly. This is politics. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

With all this exciting impeachment talk, Peter Thiel must be on his third shirt.

i will donate to a khana primary challenger, I know top 2 makes it hard, don't care

running against Khanna on an anti Musk platform might actually work. Musk is incredibly toxic across the political spectrum now.

This is correct. The key to driving attention in the media today is CONFLICT. Musk and Trump are doing conflict. So the media is covering it. Dems in Congress could also generate conflict to drive attention. They just have chosen not to. 1/2

Carrot win. Remember to make your daily calls to your senators demanding they vote down Trump’s big death bill that ridiculously forbids state AI regulation for ten years. You don’t want to be livestock on Palantir’s election-fixing bank account-stealing factory farm. #HandsOffOurDataPeterThiel

Folks, let's not go all rosy retrospection with Elon Musk. Just because he and the Orange Turd don't get along anymore doesn't mean he's invited to the table.

LA28 gonna look like Moscow 1980.

Whatever the Democrats do, they must now understand that appealing to Republican voters doesn't do much. Source is Morning Consult.

Crucial: @gelliottmorris.com finds that as media attention to Abrego Garcia rose, so did Trump's *generalized* disapproval on immigration. I think this supports the points in the thread below on need for a better discourse around public opinion on immigration. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/kilmar-abr...

Stephen Miller is privately raging over deportation numbers he deems too low. So he's shifting huge amounts of law enforcement resources away from fighting serious crimes and into his immigration crackdown. If voters knew about this, they'd recoil. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1961...

Great opportunity for a primary challenger to run against @rokhanna.bsky.social.

She’s good at this. Creative leadership meeting the moment.

This is too hilarious!!! "I’m Senator Joni Ernst, except I’m not, because I was too fucking stupid to secure my own campaign domain."

Terrified salad tossing.

All the LOLZ.
