Elon Musk is not the richest man in the world; men who live at home with their partner and children who love them experience riches he couldn't imagine.

Elon Musk issues an ultimatum to federal employees saying employees must justify their work or resign. I say that Elon Musk needs to justify his work or resign.

Reminder: @MarshaBlackburn’s last town hall was 8 years ago this month. Have a great Sunday!

Not fun geopolitical times to live through but, as history teaches us, this era will pass and better people will rise.

Looks like we have even bigger issues. Yikes—the Trump administration is becoming a Russian sympathizer, spreading misinformation about Ukraine. Trump won’t even stand up to Putin, essentially telling him, “Do whatever the hell you want.”

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

We just want to say that we are in awe of all of you. You are the ones history will remember—a resistance rising against tyranny. From the moment Trump took office, laws have been broken left and right. We shouted from the rooftops, and it took relentless effort just to have our voices heard.

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

Dear WRU, as you are once again in total disarray I believe I have come up with a new plan and brand strategy to rescue the game. 5 regions, angry fans and a new 100,000 seat stadium in Caersws 👍🏼

Patriotism is seeing the best in your country and celebrating it. It's not seeing the worst in other countries and blaming it.

This is fascism.

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

It's what WE do, not what America SAYS that's important in the coming months...

Prepared. Not Scared.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Good — they’re *finally* going to meet on this. Certain that Musk fails *many* aspects of the Code of Conduct that are expected to be abided by. You know, with the whole being a Nazi / fascist, spreading misinformation and harm, stealing credit, inability to apply critical analysis …. list goes on

Welsh people believe in Welsh language rights. Can English right wing media stop ragebaiting now?? We live in a multilingual society and we want it kept that way. The evidence is clear, diolch yn fawr… 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Do Welsh people think that enough has been done to promote learning and use of the Welsh language? Not gone far enough: 32% About right: 36% Gone too far: 21% yougov.co.uk/society/arti...

Happy English St Dwynwens Day to all that celebrate

Superb, by Brendan Loper in the New Yorker. Simply superb. ~AA

I don't believe the myth that poverty makes artists better. But I do believe some columnists and politicians could strongly benefit from knowing what going hungry feels like

If you got married and changed your name, you may not be able to register to vote if the SAVE Act passes. This law will impact millions of married women, as well as trans folks. This is not a joke, call your Congresspeople.

A second Fellow has resigned and over 900 scientists have signed an open letter to call on @royalsociety.org to strip Elon Musk of his Fellowship! I'm relieved that there's finally momentum on this... [🔭🧪⚛️] Want to add your name to the letter? Here's the link: occamstypewriter.org/scurry/2025/...

In one of Elon’s outcries about fraud, he actually ended up cutting funding for cancer research. Despite initially denying it, he was later proven wrong. This incident highlights how little he actually understands about what he’s doing.

Pop quiz: People are saying the kid says “you’re not the president you need to go away” — do y’all hear it too?

Law and Order Party Ends Law and Order

KY GOV. BESHEAR: “If they eliminated the Department of Education and its funding, that’s half a billion dollars in meals for kids that otherwise might go hungry.”

So to be clear - in Tennessee unidentified white men in hoodies can grab any immigrant that "looks" undocumented, and if officials even as much as vote to protect them it's a felony. This is where we are now. Video: www.facebook.com/share/v/1AQh...

Hey media — when Republicans claim they are so concerned about the debt, please ask them why they plan to back Trump’s trillions in tax cuts (for the rich) again if it’s such an emergency? Failing to ask them this basic question is frankly negligence.

BULWARK: “Under Trump, the law is just vibes now… university and medical centers face a $4 billion funding cut… a swing at science and higher learning… IT’S ILLEGAL…” This will hit Vandy, Williamson County, the med research community here. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-laws...

This Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.

The NFL removed the ‘end racism’ text from their endzones once Trump got elected, in a clear nod to the notion that racism won.

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.
