In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

Cannot express how wild it is the right called leftists pedophiles for 8 years straight and then immediately voted for Epstein’s best friend who brought on three Epstein associates, one of whom was credibly accused of sex trafficking a minor. Pedocon theory is undefeated.

"Trump and Elon are Making America Great Again. There is no better way to symbolize our nation’s current greatness than these ludicrous, excessive, and utterly pointless Tesla Cybertrucks."

This is how almost everyone who works on climate feels almost all the time. 🤷‍♀️

BREAKING: On a 2-1 vote, the DC Circuit rejects the Trump administration’s request that Trump be allowed to immediately fire Hampton Dellinger, the head of the U.S. Office of Special Counsel. DOJ asked the appeals court to stay a TRO, which the majority notes would be a “sharp departure” from norms.

Most of the right wing twitter-sphere discovered you can look up US budget stats a whole two weeks ago, but that’s still asking too much of Sacks

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, says the National Science Foundation has given money to thousands of "Woke DEI" studies. Researchers say that's misrepresenting science and disparaging important research.

Interesting to see Tosca Musk get a friendly profile here. Around the time of the election I had reached out to her to report on something regarding her politics. She hung up on me and told her mother, who proceeded to bring up my race in a public tweet. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...
