In a significant business development, Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim has decided to cancel his collaboration with Elon Muskā€™s Starlink satellite technology and instead invest in his own infrastructure. The decision comes after a series of tensions between the two magnates.

Iā€™ve got some free time this afternoon - letā€™s do a quick Q&A. Share your questions below, and Iā€™ll answer as many as I can.

ā€œThose nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. Theyā€™re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high priceā€ is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. Itā€™s entirely invented from scratch.

Jack Danielā€™s maker says Canada pulling US alcohol off shelves ā€˜worse than tariff.ā€™ CEO Lawson Whiting calls Canadaā€™s move ā€˜disproportionate responseā€™ to levies imposed by Trump administration. Cry harder. Thoughts and prayers. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is next level! šŸ’„

House Speaker Mike Johnson's Chief of Staff Hayden Haynes was arrested for a DUI last night after Donald Trump's joint session address of Congress. Zero shocker here. MaGa FamiLY VaLuES.

So much for ā€œWe the Peopleā€

Please bookmark this and show MAGA everytime they say some BULLSHIT like the world ā€œfearsā€ Trump. They are fucking laughing at him. Laughing.

In case facts still matterā€¦

ā€œI wonā€™t forgetā€ ?

NASHVILLE: At an anti-Trump anti-Elon pro-Democracy rally, an ex-Marine whoā€™s been to Ukraine 8 times since the war started explains why šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø abandoning our allies and siding with Putin hurts our standing in the world ā€” and makes everyone less safe. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGyu9Hc...

THAT DIDN'T TAKE LONG: Plaintiffs in one lawsuit against DOGE have alerted the court to President Trump's remarks tonight calling Elon Musk the "head" of the office.

Kilmeade tweeting this was not on our bingo card šŸ‘€

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isnā€™t whether heā€™s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

Trudeau: Weā€™re probably going to keep booing the American anthem. But let me tell Americans, we're not booing you. We're booing a policy that is designed to hurt us.Ā  But we're Canadian. We're going to fight. And we're going to win.

I don't know who this guy is but he's absolute right.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American peopleā€¦ your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential itemsā€¦

When I was in Congress we were constantly told to not call social security a ā€œPonzi schemeā€ unless we want to never win another election. Elon Musk just called social security a ā€œPonzi scheme.ā€ But hasnā€™t touched his contracts with the govt yet

Here @nytimes.com reports that Mexico's crackdown on migrants going north is big reason for lower border crossings, but doesn't tell readers that Biden admin had big hand in negotiating this crackdown. Makes it easier for Trump to take credit. Weak, NYT. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/03/w...

Every accusation is an intention.

Since the president has signed an EO making English the official language of the United States, here is the first non-English copy of the Declaration of Independence, printed in German just days after July 4, 1776. We have always been multilingual. cdm16274.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/coll...

Deserved

He skis like shit.

Musk just gave the game away in his interview with Joe Rogan. He said that it's because of Social Security that "people are living longer than expected"ā€”which coupled with a lower U.S. birth rate creates a situation he finds intolerable. He _is_ a Yarvinistā€”and he's coming for our Social Security.

Why? a. It shows youā€™re not afraid of him. b. It shows everyone else they shouldnā€™t be afraid of him. c. It causes him to lose control and show everyone how weak (and deranged) he is.

WOW. After yesterdayā€™s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norwayā€™s leading marine fuel providers, announced that it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy vessels, urging other European firms to follow suit. The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

Starmer to Zelenskyy: You are very very welcome here in Downing Street. As you heard from the cheers outside, you have full backing across the United Kingdom.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. Itā€™s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. Iā€™m happy to invest and/or help

Brett Baier asks President Zelenskyy on Fox News if heā€™ll step down after Lindsey Graham said he should: ā€œWith all respect to Lindseyā€¦only Ukrainians vote for their president.ā€ šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„

MADDOW: ā€œTrump wonā€™t let Reuters or the AP into the Oval Office, but somehow Russian state media was in there it live stream itā€¦ trusting Putin isnā€™t popular - so why are we doing this? Who does it benefit? Who is making us do this?ā€ Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGpMoji...

For folks asking if I'm going to attend Trump's joint address to Congress next week: no. Instead, I'm choosing to hear directly from Oregonians and will be hosting an open-to-all town hall on Facebook live. Oregonians can submit questions in advance here:

Democracies stand with Ukraine.

No recession under Biden. Trumpā€™s first quarterā€”recession vibes already. āš ļø CAUTION AHEADā€¦

Zelenskyy: "When they, for example say that Ukraine is almost destroyed, that our soldiers run away, that they are not heroes, that the president is a dictator, what is the reaction? It's not about me. The reaction is, where is the friendship between Ukraine and the US?"
