Do I have this right? Elon Musk - the guy in charge of preventing wasteful spending - dropped $40M on a Super Bowl ad? We could permanently house 800 homeless veterans for $40M. Or provide five million meals to the hungry. Or replace lead pipes in 8,500 homes.

I’m tired of hearing consultants say that an issue is popular right now so we shouldn’t go against it. No…we need to get to work changing public opinion and stop following it. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Elon Musk inherited a lot of money from his rich daddy, and he is currently driving his businesses into the ground with his ineptitude. Donald Trump inherited a lot of money from his rich daddy and drove his businesses into the ground with is ineptitude. America, stop thinking rich men are smart.

I would pay my firstborn cat for Gov. Whitmer to announce that she's sending 10000 national guard troops to the Ohio border to stop the illegal border crossings from Toledo or annex it to free all the long-suffering wolverines who live there.

As governor of Illinois, I’ve made it my mission to make our state the best to call home including for our LGBTQ+ community. No matter who you are or who you love, everyone deserves dignity and equality. Hate has no home here.

Hey @washingtonpost.com you say your new Kash Patel story has "not previously been reported." Wrong, we at @motherjones.com scooped you and had this out earlier today. www.motherjones.com/politics/202... Feel free to correct.

The reckless decision to release billions of gallons of water from the Terminus and Schafer Dams is already hurting farms and farmers. It’s a massive waste. I'm demanding answers from the Army Corps of Engineers about what happened. And why.

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

Interesting to see how quickly American foreign policy pivoted from "Get clean drinking water for children without hope" to "Do ethnic cleansing for condos with Mediterranean views."

NEW: The American people are turning against Elon Musk. His approval rating has plummeted to -11 from +29 in 2016, per a new Quinnipiac poll. 53% oppose him having a key role in a Trump admin, with just 39% in support—dropping to 36% among independents.

The one thing I don’t see @stephaniemiller.bsky.social @bobcesca.bsky.social and others not reporting on is the fact that there’s a suspicion out there that bluster/back off is by design. Would be see who’s buying what when the markets slide
