Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

Art of the Deal: 1. Fire indispensable people for no reason 2. Realize they were indispensable 3. Beg them to return, making sure they know they have all of the negotiating power and can name their price, costing much more than simply not firing anyone in the first place. Check and mate!

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

"Despite a smattering of promises from venture capital companies to do better after the murder of George Floyd, funding to Black companies dropped from $4.9 billion in 2021 to $705 million in 2023 — an astonishing 86 percent drop. Sounds like a segregated market to me." 👈🏾

"We now have a government that wants you to feel not hope but fear, not peace but paranoia, in a nation where the scales of justice have been replaced with the blunt end of a nightstick. I fervently believe that we shall overcome, but we’re going to have to absorb some hard blows along the way."

You can get your recaps elsewhere! I include some bizarre details from the inauguration, but focus on deeper analysis. The whole event shows Trump and his tech bros coming together to make America even more unfair and scammy. www.salon.com/2025/01/21/a...

The birthright citizenship order goes into effect in 30 days and prohibits federal agencies from issuing citizenship documents (such as passports) to the—to be clear—citizens in question. But that's simply not how any of this works. Read @timothypmurphy.bsky.social:

BREAKING: We just asked a federal court to immediately hold a hearing on the Trump administration's abrupt shut down of CBP One, a mobile app that was the last way to seek asylum at the southern border. Seeking safety through asylum is a right.

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration to block the president’s attempt to end birthright citizenship. An executive order does not have the power to override the Constitution.

New on MSNBC: Vice President Harris will fly back to Los Angeles today with an all-female U.S. Air Force crew — the first time an all-female crew has operated a C-33. Upon landing, Harris will visit a local fire station and then distribute food to community members impacted by the wildfires.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Hegseth's mother wrote in 2018 to her son: "I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth."

Well, some numbers are starting to roll in, guys. Online Black Friday sales in the U.S. totaled $9.8B, and projections indicate sales will reach $10.8B, a 9.9% increase from 2023. What was that about eggs?

It's hard to learn when you're hungry. Thanks to Democrats led by Gov. Whitmer, every Michigan public school student can eat a free breakfast and lunch during the school year. We're saving families hundreds or even thousands of dollars, and making sure hunger isn't holding our kids back.

This was always the end game and motivation for why Trump ran for president again. So if you’re an authoritarian taking note, you now know for sure that American institutions will not protect democracy. Trump pays no price for trying to overthrow an election, and inciting an insurrection.
