Musk suffers from the same delusion as his fans: he imagines he knows things because he has money. This has caused him to repeatedly embarrass himself publicly, and the humiliation makes him more resentful of criticism instead of triggering self reflection. He shouldn't be anywhere near government

I am introducing a 100% tariff on all highway expansions. Highways have treated us really really badly for too long and it's time they pay up. Thank you for your attention to this matter. *Is that how you write it?

A partner and I have been renovating old houses. We’ve been looking for a new project but we can’t budget because we don’t know what the cost of construction materials is going to look like in 6 months or a year. So we’re gonna hold off for a while. This is how tariffs work in the real world.

Today marks 60 years since Bloody Sunday, when peaceful protesters were attacked in Selma, AL as they demanded voting rights for Black Americans. Their courage prompted the passage of the Voting Rights Act, and we honor their legacies by continuing to fight to protect our fundamental voting rights.

“What precisely replaces the civil-service ethos remains unclear. Christian nationalists want a religious state to replace our secular one. Tech authoritarians want a dictatorship of engineers, led by a monarchical CEO. Musk and Trump might prefer an oligarchy that serves their business interests.”

Data is power — and access to it is essential for protecting public health & the environment. The Trump admin has taken extraordinary steps to dismantle and disrupt public access to federal environ data and mapping tools — resources that communities, advocates, and researchers rely on every day.

It was great to discuss investments to local transit with @chtransit.bsky.social Director Brian Litchfield, including the $24.4M grant award for the North-South BRT project. These upgrades connect residents across our community, & I look forward to continuing our work to improve transit corridors.

Starting this week, we’ll all pay more at the store because of the Trump tariffs, even while he’s finalizing a multi-trillion-dollar tax cut for the wealthy. All the bluster is meant to get us talking about literally anything else.
