As Donald Trump turns the United States into one of the closest allies Russia has worldwide, it's worth revisiting the news item below, which came out immediately after Trump won a surprising victory in November:

Arizona shares a border with Mexico and benefits directly from our trade agreements every single day–with Trump's tariffs, the price of everything from avocados to car parts is about to go up for Arizonans. One man’s vanity is putting our entire international trading landscape at risk of collapse.

Musk just gave the game away in his interview with Joe Rogan. He said that it's because of Social Security that "people are living longer than expected"—which coupled with a lower U.S. birth rate creates a situation he finds intolerable. He _is_ a Yarvinist—and he's coming for our Social Security.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office. ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

I've been working on the PROOF Threat Index—which ranks the Top 100 threats to our democracy—and working through exactly where to put each of the right-wing Supreme Court Justices (or whether to even put all of them in the Top 100). I decided last week that all had to go in. Looks like I was right.

Tesla’s shareholders just lost another $38,640,000,000 today — a total $TSLA loss of $600 billion since December. Tesla’s CEO was not in the office. In literally any other public company ever, this would be the point where the CEO gets fired.

A group calling itself the 3rd Term Project is calling for a Constitutional Amendment to let Trump have a third term in office. This move is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. We should take it seriously. The man who would be king certainly does. joycevance.substack.com/p/speaking-t...

Federal workers choose public service to serve our people, but the Trump administration wants to traumatize them. We need cancer researchers, forest service firefighters, nuclear safety experts, VA nurses and food safety inspectors. We don’t need Elon Musk, whatever his job is.

I pointed it out recently but I want to note again that Musk and his racist pals consistently post photos of any women or nonwhite judges who rule against USDS, while ignoring the equally large or maybe greater number of decisions against USDS where the judge was a white man and/or Trump-appointed
