Musk is cash-poor, with most of his wealth in stocks and unprofitable businesses. His debtors want real money, not hype. If TSLA drops too much, margin calls hit. The NAZI lost $100B last month—keep this up, and he could lose everything. www.investopedia.com/tesla-stock-...

Imagine if Joe Biden had reposted a liberal pundit saying ‘shut up about gas prices’ in 2022. It would have led the news, all of the news, for days, weeks, on end.

Hearing a lot of folks asking for Town Halls. Good. Because my team’s already on it. We’re coming to every county in District 6—because I’m not waiting for Day 1 to do what Representatives should be doing already. Show up. Speak your mind. Tell me what’s weighing on you most right now. 1/2

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: Trump is taking the Big Lie to Social Security. The point is and was to "fabricate this elaborate, grotesque lie about a cherished institution of American government to sow enough fear, doubt and uncertainty among enough people that Trump can get away with destroying it."

In my experience, the Musk fanboys don't even acknowledge when you point out the data is faked. They just repeat "oh so you don't want Musk investigating all that waste, fraud, and abuse? What are you hiding?"

Outstanding webinar this afternoon with Heather Cox Richardson and Simon Rosenberg. Three, among many, take-aways: 1) We need to put pressure on our elected leaders. 2) We need to act out. Trump hates protests. 3) We are are stronger than we know. @hcrichardson.bsky.social @simonwdc.bsky.social

Just restating the simple point: President lacks the constitutional authority to close a department created by Congress. Full stop. Both the creation and on-going funding of these Depts are LAWS not suggestions. This is criminal conduct. www.wsj.com/politics/pol... via @WSJ

I keep hearing Republicans claim their budget doesn't cut Medicaid. We all know that's a lie — so I asked the nonpartisan CBO to look into it. Their analysis confirms it: the Republican budget delivers the largest Medicaid cuts in history to pay for giveaways to billionaires.

Several others have aptly summarized this. Republicans now get a number where they can call Elon and ask for the law to be followed for things that were cut but which they want back. So Elon is in charge of federal spending. And you can go to him hat in hand.

"It was the most shameful moment in American history in at least a century." Make sure Trump's hacks and toadies share some of the blame. There's plenty to go around.

The average American voter thinks that the government is too big but that it should spend more money on everything it does. This explains a decent share of the political chaos of this country.

Netanyahu’s extremist government has halted ALL humanitarian aid into Gaza. Starving children is a war crime. UN leaders said: "International humanitarian law is clear: we must be allowed access to deliver vital lifesaving aid. We need to get aid in and the hostages out.”

If the US cuts funding for Ukraine, it will have nothing to do with Zelenskyy and everything to do with Trump's weakness. Trump has no plans to end the war and WILL NOT standup to Putin. I wrote the US would cut support to Ukraine in the epilogue of my new book written just days after the election.
