For any Republicans out there-- don't you see what's happening? Your elected officials, drunk with power, are quietly and quickly getting filthy rich. And in exchange, they're cutting your Medicaid, cutting your education funding, cutting SNAP benefits, cutting medical research.

Pierre Poilievre doesn't hate all media - just the ones who hold him accountable. To him, they’re a “small cabal of government-approved mouthpieces.” That’s what he told Candice Malcolm, co-founder of True North (and wife of a Shopify executive) in a recent one-on-one sit down. Oh, the irony.

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

I am so heartbroken. I got to know Elisa two years ago when she came to me with hundreds of emails of anti-trans legislators scheming around restricting trans rights. I helped get her story told by the New York Times and Washington Post. She deserved so much better. RIP.

Republican White women cheered as Trump vowed to kill DEI—then realized they benefited the most from diversity initiatives. But they’re still all in on the ban. Self-sabotage in real time.

Garrett Graff cracked a code here. He has been writing as if he were reporting on the United States as a foreign correspondent. As an American living in Canada, I cannot amplify enough how different the coverage I receive here is from the Musk-loving/curious news/opinion ecosystem in the U.S.

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

At anti-Musk protest down at the Treasury Dept. yesterday, man who claimed to be one-time advisor to DOGE tried to defend the world’s richest man’s infiltration of government. He had trouble defending Musk. Watch. And I’ll discuss later today on “The Jim Acosta Show” at 4p ET/1pm PT. On Substack!

Elon Musk demanded the FAA Chief resign after he tried to fine SpaceX for safety breaches. Now Musk is shutting down a $40BN agency which is investigating his company’s equipment. USAID webpages on its Starlink investigation have disappeared. Right out of the Russia playbook.

One reason I have so much respect for Rachel is because she is driven by a real understanding of democracy I’ve heard Rachel talk about her time in Tunisia watching a democracy collapse in real-time before. This is something that shapes her journalism and one of the reasons she’s so fearless

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

Honestly the real nightmare scenario from the Elonjugend seemingly having full access to all Treasury payment system is that they simply fuck up the "paying off the US debt" pipeline, because a default on Treasuries is simply the "obliterate the entire global financial system" button

Hear me out — If parents call colleges freaked about their FAFSA data being leaked, schools may have to issue statements — which would reach a whole lot more families about how warped this is. Organizing isn’t always calling electeds. Sometimes it’s just calling people with a bigger megaphone.
