Stephen King has allegedly returned to Twitter. But I have a strong suspicion this is actually Elon Musk pretending to be Stephen King.

I posted this was a lie right after Musk said it. This is the Commander of the ISS. Musk responded to this post by throwing a temper tantrum and calling for ISS to be defunded.

Two more staffers quit Fetterman—this time, they’re his longest serving people! That makes 7 people who have quit in last 11 months—that includes his Chief of Staff, Communications Director, 3 communication staffers, and now 2 more who were with him from the beginning!

🚨Elon Musk’s DOGE operatives are attempting to access confidential tax information — tax returns, bank data, Social Security numbers — for millions of Americans. Illegal access can lead to jail time under federal law. @wyden.senate.gov and I are investigating and fighting back.

A new North Dakota bill would require stores to pull any book with any "material harmful to minors" from the shelves. For those in the cheap seats, that effectively means ANY mention of sex, sexuality or gender. A bookseller could be arrested for displaying 1984. www.inforum.com/opinion/colu...

The meaning here is clear. Clearer still if you're familiar with Posobiec's neo-Nazi ties. And by neo-Nazi, I don't mean people I think are jerks; I mean self-avowed national socialists. www.splcenter.org/resources/ex...

My grandfathers didn’t fight the Nazis so some future American Vice President could cozy up to a bunch of far-right, Holocaust distorting politicians in Germany. This is truly pathetic.

@aoc.bsky.social has a really worthwhile series of stories up on her Instagram about this rn. Recommend watching in full, but tl;dr: folks watching Fox News call relentlessly, so even ideologically opposed reps know they’re mobilized and have to plan around them. We need to flex the same way.

Even getting this close, to the point of reading about the circles the DOGE kids are traveling in, makes you see red. Horrors beyond comprehension. Good god the reason musk is so concerned with preventing them from being identified is that he knows they and he would be beaten to death with hammers

I’ve always said this was a big key to Trump’s appeal: What perversely excites a lot of people is that he represents liberation from the tyranny of basic decency.

We contracted with a chef to prepare a celebration dinner yesterday for our friend, who just completed his first week of surgery and treatments for cancer. The chef arrived late. Why? On the way to our house, he was detained and interrogated by ICE agents. Why? Driving while black. 🤔

Late last night, with about 15 minutes notice to the Union, the NLRB’s HR sent an email adopting the terms of the forked-up resignation scam. HR also provided us a contract that appears to be drafted by AI or LegalZoom. As labor lawyers, we’re happy to go over this in detail. 🧵

LIVE: Several congressional Democrats are gathered outside USAID to stand in opposition of its illegal closure by Trump/Musk. C-SPAN is livestreaming it here: www.c-span.org/event/news-c... That's my member of Congress talking, Don Beyer; he just said Musk is "doing China's bidding."

There's a big opportunity to drive wedges between Trump, Musk, and the Bannon wing of Trump's base that are just right there in plain sight and Dems and progressive media should jump on that. Musk and Trump have conflicts re: hogging the spotlight and things that affect Musk's biz interests.
