It’s weird. Musk is NEVER seen with his kids. Then our boy Luigi takes out one useless CEO and suddenly Musk wraps his toddler around his head like a scarf everywhere he goes. So…weird…

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. I’m sure he’ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.” ~ @michaeldweiss.bsky.social

Defending Trump’s power grab with the “unitary executive theory” is just a fancy way of claiming the president can rule the executive branch like a monarch. This argument has no basis in history or the Constitution.

"Normality bias (or normalcy bias): The tendency to underestimate the likelihood or impact of a potential hazard, based on the belief that things will continue as they have in the past. " Please understand, Democratic Party leaders are going to kill us because they want to believe it's still 1982.

The United States under the orange reich cannot be trusted on the world stage. Europe needs to protect itself and its allies. Our leaders will not do the right thing.

Trump’s EO ruining the independence of federal agencies shows the real goal of Musk and Trump is not efficiency or even winning the culture wars. It’s thievery. And they are exceptional thieves. My latest in @thenation.com

1/2 (short thread) #trump keeps talking about a 3rd term & he's serious. His AG said they'd need to change the constitution to do that. But can they? Of course. He'll rig the midterms so R's get a super majority. Bing-Bang-Boom. Constitution gets amended & the mad king is crowned.

This is blatantly illegal but that's not the point. A judge will likely put a stay on the EO & trump will ignore the judge. After a few months, the EO likely gets a court date. #trump is the best at abusing legal proceedings so it'll never actually go to trial...like most other cases against him.
