Jesus. This is eerily reminiscent of Alec Smith’s story in Minnesota (his death spearheaded the nationwide push for a $35/mo insulin cap).

Please read this from @jenrubin.bsky.social. Every sentence is catharsis. THIS is why the Tapper book feels obscene. Because it has to be squared with the media’s “cover-up” of Trump’s lunacy. And only one of these threatens our democracy. contrarian.substack.com/p/trump-and-...

Musk’s destruction of the USAID is killing about 103 people an hour, most of them children The total so far is about 300K people, according to Boston U infectious disease mathematical modeller Dr. Brooke Nichols Rubio, of course, claims no one has died Great reporting by @nickkristof.bsky.social

I keep seeing people say Musk “failed” in his government takeover. No, he did not fail. He shut down investigations into his businesses, he garnered huge contracts, and he stole the personal data of everyone in the US. That’s not a “failure.” This motherfucker won, and won big.

Whether Elon Musk is serious about leaving whatever the fuck he was doing, everyone should remember that in the early stages of DOGE, he and his teenage accomplices ransacked, copied, and absconded with almost every US citizen’s most private information. The largest crime spree in history.

what's especially despicable about the consequences of DOGE's cuts to USAID is that if you had asked theoretically "what would occur if you suddenly cut off U.S. foreign aid" the most obvious, inescapable answer is "needless death and suffering," it's the Occam's Razor of outcomes

The flood of encomiums and morality tales about Elon's turn in Washington cldn't be more predictable, vapid & sickening. If you want a story, get me the story about the crisis comms team directing this. He ran anti-constitutional blitzkrieg thru the federal government, did massive harm, violated ...

As of today, Elon Musk is thought to be responsible for the death of 300,000 adults and kids due to the illegal closure of USAID (source: www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...) That's a 103 deaths per hour, each day. And it will get worse. His legacy is one of death, destruction, and failure.

Elon's legacy ranges from gutting cancer research to setting in motion millions of deaths from starvation or disease. I'll be pushing for Congress to hold Elon & DOGE accountable—for every act of corruption, every disastrous consequence, and every law they have broken.

I had a simple question: Has President Trump increased has net worth since taking the White House? And if so, by how much? The answer was more surprising than I anticipated. Simply put, he has more than doubled his net worth in 4 months. Here's how:
