Musk should never be mentioned without also naming Trump and the GOP. Separating them gives Republicans an easy out—letting them claim ‘that was just Elon’ instead of owning their shared agenda. Keep them tied together.

I wrote last week: It’s hard to imagine two groups being more vindicated by events than the resistance liberals (a movement largely powered by women) and the never-Trump Republicans. They were right about Trump and how serious a danger he was from the jump.

There’s surely a lot of frustrating stuff about any bureaucracy—meeting with stakeholders in advance, circulating draft after draft, respecting chains of authority, getting legal to sign off, etc.—but there’s no better illustration of why it exists than Elon Musk’s month of chaotic destruction.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

Trump is a poor man's idea of a rich man. Elon is dumb man's idea of a smart man. Hegseth is a cowards idea of a brave man. RFKJr is a brain worm's idea of a healthy man. And right now, the USA is an evil man's idea of a just country.

Trump has just mentioned the following as possible causes of the Washington plane crash: - Obama - Biden - Pete Buttigieg (“he’s got a good line in bullshit”) - non-white people - people with intellectual impairments - people with psychiatric disabilities - people with dwarfism. Seriously.

Trump’s DC air crash press conference is an embarrassing disaster. Offensive and abusive. Full of lies about DEI at the FAA. Hateful and shameful political rhetoric at this most painful of times. He is completely insane. This is not normal. #25thAmendmentNow

FACT CHECK from the California Department of Water Resources: “The military did not enter California. The federal government restarted federal water pumps after they were offline for maintenance for three days. State water supplies in Southern California remain plentiful.”

She said, “May I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away." If Mike Johnson thinks that’s “radical,” perhaps he has a fundamental misunderstanding of his own religion.

Re his comments on Canada / Greenland - maybe Trump has been watching Putin in Ukraine and, like many small children, wants to impress an adored adult.
