Elon Musk trying to keep #x #twitter up and running now that everyone quit!!

While SpaceX falters, Tesla crashes, Twitter has a global outage, and Washington grows weary of Musk's ongoing crime spree and attack on the federal government, the dude finds time to call a decorated American hero a traitor for standing up for Ukraine and our European allies.

Good morning, reactions from both Columbia University and the Democrats to the disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil continue to send the Trump administration a very clear message: you will face no meaningful opposition from any of us

Bluesky will always differ from X because it’s built on an open, decentralized protocol, preventing centralized control and algorithmic manipulation. Unlike X, no single entity dictates visibility or discourse, ensuring a more transparent and user-driven platform.

"Historians will forever remember when we held up very small signs." Democrats right now

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

“.. Rolling 10-day moves in the Russell 2000 Tech Index … down ~14% over the last 10 days measures up as one of the worst stretches for Small (SMID) Cap Tech in 20+ years ..” - Goldman desk

I wrote about something I’ve been thinking about for a while…

This is very obviously going to be a protection racket, where Trump can at the stroke of a pen destroy or save your business depending on how compliant you are.

I don’t want to delve into conspiracy theory but this is the moment Micky Mouse pulled the plug on 538.

Raving anti-American leftist? No, former mayor of Vichy, state secretary under Chirac, representative of what used to be the center-right in France.

congrats democrats, you got played like chumps. but at least you're respecting the office or some bullshit

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.

i expect the markets to have a totally chill reaction to this

There’s nothing wrong with Billionaires having billions. There is something inherently wrong with billionaires cutting your benefits, and help to the poor through USAID, and running around with a chainsaw giggling. You can have power or billions. But we refuse to be an oligarchy

Conan: You know, Anora is having a good night. That's great news. Two wins already. I guess Americans are excited to see somebody finally stand up to a powerful Russian.

More of this, please! We need law professors with integrity and backbone to call out colleagues who attempt to launder Trump’s unconstitutional cruelty through bullshit originalism. And to do so in blunt terms without the cloak of polite formalisms that obscure the depths of hackery on display.

Democratic Congressman Tom Suozzi just received a huge standing ovation in a Trump +5 Congressional District at Hofstra University after talking about how despicable Trump‘s behavior was in the Oval Office with Zelensky. Americans are furious.

I think Dems should not go to the Joint Session Congressional address next week. (Term of art for SOTUs given in first year of a term.) Just don't show up. Convince me that I'm wrong.

If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting. The battle between republican self preservation and MAGA will be intense

The Kyiv Independent Editorial: "It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up." kyivindependent.com/editorial-a-...

I say again: any Republican in congress with an ounce of integrity would switch parties immediately. They are complicit, sadistic cowards. Every single one.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

Hakeem Jeffries is in no way shape or form the man for the moment. And so many of us have known this for a long time.

It's time we stopped Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down youtu.be/gp5JCrSXkJY?...

Q: how to 6x DOGE savings ($2.5b)? A: Cut subsidies to Tesla ($15b)

Let me translate two things this libertarian light nincompoop is saying: Personal liberties means doing whatever the fuck I want. Free markets means doing whatever the fuck I want. He’s an adult toddler.

My show, @velshimsnbc.bsky.social, exists because @joyannreid.bsky.social made that viable & important. Joy is a builder, a thought leader, a fierce warrior for justice, fairness and equity. Joy is a masterclass in holding power to account. I can’t wait to see what she ends up doing next. #myhero

OMG, Rachel on MSNBC calling out her bosses for firing the non-white primetime hosts Joy Reid and Alex Wagner

MSNBC, the alleged bastion of liberals, has former GOP rep Scarborough, former head of RNC, Michael Steele, former Bush spokesman Nicole Wallace. No Joy Reid and Mehdi Hasan though.

Germany’s likely new chancellor Friedrich Merz: And for me, the absolute priority will be to strengthen Europe as quickly as possible so that we step by step to also truly achieve independence from the USA. I would not have believed that I would have to say something like this on TV...

I owe the television part of my career to @joyannreid.bsky.social, as do so many other Black voices y'all never would have heard of if not for her. And *that's* why she's gone. They can treat black folks as interchangeable, but everybody Black knows that Joy was indispensable.

Lost in some of the outrage over this is that Trump's pick is LITERALLY unqualified. The law says a Chairman has to have been a vice chair, a service chief or held a combatant command. Caine hasn't done any of those and I don't think he was even the senior service general at a combatant command.

i think this is basically what has happened a big chunk of the american pundit class

MUSK LOSES BIG IN GERMANY Germany’s CDU/CSU wins big, while the far-right AfD underperforms in second—despite backing from Elon Musk and JD Vance. AfD is now likely to be completely shut out of the governing coalition.
