X is not worth 33 billion. He basically just paid himself $33B from another company, presumably to pay off his debts from the initial buy because he knows he'll never be able to raise the capital from X itself. He is his own ponzi scheme.

We are currently living in The Age of Incompetent Hypocrites.

It is kind of amazing how few Christians who have known me personally have reached out to see if I was OK as a federal employee. Guilt.

FUN FACT: Social Security has a fraud rate of 0.00625%, which is far lower than private sector retirement programs. THE MORE YOU KNOW…💫

The case for Trump becoming a Forever King is being made by his fascist lackeys brick by brick, day by day, lie by lie. Another day, another lie. Another brick.

We will not be distracted. We will not be discouraged. We’ve got our eyes on the prize. And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve. The time to organize is now. OcasioCortez.com

IT GETS WORSE Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth brought his wife, a former Fox News producer, to two meetings with foreign military counterparts where sensitive information was discussed, according to multiple people who were present or had knowledge of the discussions. New via @wsj.com:

Martial Law. It’s the elephant in the room. It’s what authoritarians resort to when the tide turns against them. It’s what the authoritarian in this White House is setting the stage for. 🧵…

Team Carney all the way! #canadastrong #teamcarney #cdnpoli

Former North Dakota Republican State Senator Traveled to Prague 14 times over ten years to Engage in Commercial Sex with Children. He wrote: “It will be decadent but oh so much fun bro. What happens in Prague — Stays in Prague.” www.justice.gov/opa/pr/forme...

Don’t try to tell me #ItDoesntMakeAnyDifference. I call my Congressional Rep and two U.S. Senators every single day. Tie up their phones!

“Let us use our clarity of understanding as a catalyst for action, not a reason for stasis. There are so many ways to engage, on a large scale and on a neighborhood scale — all are necessary and valuable.”

WilmerHale was polite, professional, and direct. BigLaw could learn. Now, WilmerHale needs to actually fight this thing out. These orders are blatantly, insanely unconstitutional.

In other fucked up news in the era of MAGA, Florida is moving to lift child labor laws in order to fill jobs that were held by immigrant workers due to Ron DeSantis’s racist crackdown on migrant workers and mass deportations. When GOP say they care about kids, tell them to STFU.

Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns. Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity. It’s been the plan for decades.

I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states. Their finances will be turned upside

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?
