Elon Musk Trashes Ugly Budget Bill and More Bad News For Trump

Thank you KC! 👏🇨🇦👏 “The True North is indeed strong … and free” www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear: The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here. Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead. This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

It’s been 50 years since a monarch has opened parliament. A necessary visit and speech aimed at donOld. www.bbc.com/news/article...

@bsky.app Yes, EDIT function please! 🙏

Opinion | A hidden measure in the Republican budget bill would crown Trump king - The Guardian

There it is. The inevitable consequence of broken politics & media . Someone should write a book...

Palmer Luckey is the founder of Anduril, a defense tech company backed by Peter Thiel that receives lucrative government contracts. Trump Jr’s venture capital firm is part of the latest round of funding for Anduril. Palmer Luckey is also former Republican congressman Matt Gaetz’s brother-in-law.

You know you’re winning when you post “We are NOT the Gestapo!”

Trump, who cut the National Weather Service, has been silent about the 23 people who were recently killed in storms and tornadoes in Kentucky. Instead, he’s been posting multiple Middle East trip propaganda videos featuring himself.

(📣) In light of the horrifying racism and antisemitism being perpetrated by Grok—which xAI cagily will not link to any specific high-access employee, but that Grok itself speculates might have been caused by Elon Musk—I am making free my report on how a bigoted Musk conned rich liberals for decades:

Bucharest is excited for their mayor, Nicușor Dan, to have been elected the new president of Romania! The world is rejecting Trumpism.

GB News : "Brexit is a good thing?" Brexit Fisherman : "It's been a disaster" "But exports?" "Red tape is 100 fold, our main market is the EU" "But EU fisherman?" "They didn't come here" "But charge more?" "They can buy in the EU" "How would you vote?" "I'd vote for Remain in a heart beat"

Gift article: Elon Musk is pioneering AI, artificial ignorance

The Enlightenment gave us the foundational principles of reason, liberty, individual rights, secular governance, and empirical inquiry. It championed the only the only values that have ever liberated humanity at scale. Today, those ideals are under pressure from multiple directions. Hold the line.

Millions of Romanians are celebrating tonight nationwide. This is what democracy looks like, despite Russia's insane manipulation campaign and army of influencer-propagandists, the people saw right through the bullshit and made the right call for their future. Romania is undefeated. 🇷🇴🇪🇺

The candidate who actually cares about Romanian security and prosperity won Now the far-right tries to construct an alternative reality and contest the results.

After the joy of seeing Carney beat his Trump-lite rival, reality has bitten. Canada is an anxious, divided nation | Melissa Jean Gismondi

Trump is RIGHT NOW babbling like a lunatic, flattering people who funded 9/11, ignoring SCOTUS, taking bribes from a Hamas funder, and kidnapping people from the streets and trafficking them to Central America. So CNN goes back to this now irrelevant old news? Why I haven't watched them in YEARS.

Murphy: "There's no guarantee that we are gonna have a free and fair election in 2026. He's trying to rig our democracy, to destroy dissent, to cripple the opposition, so that even if his approval ratings are in the 30s next year, there isn't the ability for his opposition to muster a real campaign"

This is a HUGE scandal. Elon Musk, JD Vance, and Trump are lying about Social Security fraud. Internal documents show DOGE found "no significant fraud"—but did slow retirement claim processing by 25%. Nothing efficient about making it harder for people to get their benefits.

RFK Jr. says “don’t take medical advice from me” right after diving into fecal-contaminated Rock Creek with his grandkids. Meanwhile, Trump lifts sanctions on Syria, invents $1.2 trillion from Qatar, and #EloonMusk accuses South Africa of racism open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

Incredibly depressing day. I've spent my entire life being told by British governments how dreadful immigration is. New Labour did it. The Coalition. The Brexiters. Now Starmer. All of them accusing the ones who came before them of failing to clamp down. The same old vacant mean-spirited bollocks.

Labour has a whopping great majority and four years left to turn this country around. They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway. It's not only disappointing... it's embarrassing

Keir Starmer denies pushing anti-migrant policies in order to chase Reform, saying that "I'm doing this because it is right, because it is fair and because it is what I believe". A reminder of what he said he believed when he was running for Labour leader.

Apart from this being wrong, apart from it fuelling Reform support, this framing is so deeply insulting to immigrants already here. We *chose* to come here to give our skills to the UK (for which UK paid nothing), to make our contributions etc here. I am done being sh*t on by every Govt.

When govts stop panicking and announcing policy to “challenge” Nigel effing Farage, we may stand a chance of fixing the mess that Nigel effing Farage helped to make. Until then, we will stay stuck in this populist dead end, loudly blowing our dog whistle at the world and wondering why nothing works.

Better refill your prescriptions now, because you may not be able to get them soon.

Please repost, if like me, you will never accept Brexit. It harms the British people. It was obtained through foreign interference and by far the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history, and it robs us of freedom and citizenship. #RejoinEU

Here is the Sun's pitifully small apology for its lie about benefits tourism - a lie that was accepted as truth by millions and helped deliver Brexit. These lies are perverting our democracy. At a minimum, apologies should be published in the same location and size as the lie.

Thousands of protestors took the streets in Romania to call out fascism and Russia's interference in their elections. The chanted "Europe, we belong!" and "Russia, Romania will never be yours!". #3E (📹 @daractenus.bsky.social )
