AZ AG Kris Mayes: Let’s talk about that visual of Elon Musk with the ridiculous chainsaw. I don’t think he’s ever actually used a chainsaw in his life. I don’t know what that was—some lame attempt to make himself look manly.

Tesla are now the least advanced EVs on the market. They have stood still while others have passed them. Then there is the cybertruck monstrosity.

Elon Musk’s DOGE team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into the deadly crashes with his company’s cars. Yet another reason I’d never buy a Tesla.

Donald Trump replacing a black four-star general with a white three-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is everything MAGA claims they hate about DEI: giving a less qualified person the job based on their race, not their resume.

That's overt, not overtime. Damn spell checker.

I visited SA as a reporter in 1985. Was appalled at the overtime racism of govt. officials and the brutal crowd control tech, include repeating shotguns. Visited again in 1998 as a tourist. Overt white racism less apparent but still alive under the surface.

Why do I suspect Trump just discovered that Lincoln was a Republican? As for that period, US wasn't richest. The rich were, for sure. As for tarrifs, McKinley imposed them and then repealed them quickly. He was a lousy president.

Tell me you don't know ANYTHING WHATSOEVER about US history (or world economic history), without telling me... It's been a straight line from his first-term declaration, "Most people don't know Abraham Lincoln was a Republican..." www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-po...

With Elon’s “tell us what you accomplished last week or you’re fired” emails: I can confirm that he didn’t limit himself to the executive branch. He sent them to employees of the judicial branch as well.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.

83% of Americans disapprove of King Donold’s pardoning his Jan. 6 goon squad, and now his poll numbers are falling faster than a gold-plated toilet in a hurricane. SMITE!

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.
