This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Oh I was told these people were being super brave and cool while standing up to Trump.

The American Bar Association will temporarily suspend enforcement of its diversity and inclusion standard for law schools reut.rs/3CZRBJA

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.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

On Wednesday I was the first to report Leland Dudek was on the verge of losing his job at the Social Security Administration when he was suddenly promoted to acting commissioner by Elon Musk. Thursday I published a story with more details. I’ll let you guess if I got any credit in this Post story:

not a clue what this means.

New — All Department of Defense agencies were sent a video of an agitated Pete Hegseth debunking supposedly fake media stories. Today at least one agency called an “emergency” town hall and forced employees to watch the propaganda. www.dvidshub.net/video/953069...

>clearly erratic and mentally unraveling billionaire with a history of open drug use that is currently in custody battles with multiple different women while running around on a stage with a chainsaw is also the shadow president Armando Iannucci is getting lazy tbh.

The thing to remember about obeying in advancce is that we're no longer in advance.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

I was about to make joke about Chuck Grassley so I looked up the stats and TV ownership actually had a big jump the year he turned 18. It went from just 8% of US households in 1950 to 21% in 1951.

Every so often I remember that Oprah brought us Dr Phil, Dr Oz and The Secret but the only person she brought back to destroy on her show was the guy who pretended to be a worse drug addict than he actually was in a book

“US could cut #Ukraine's access to #Starlink internet services over minerals” Elon Musk’s Starlink is a threat to Australia’s national security. #Trump #ElonMusk #Russia #extortion #BoycottStarlink #auspol www.reuters.com/business/us-...

"This is something that does not belong to the president or the White House. It belongs to the American people.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I agree with Bill. Time to eat the rich! The 1% have gotten too big for their britches.

After the Brown v. Board decision, white people across the South opened hundreds of private schools. 70 years later, most of the ones still open in Alabama’s Black Belt remain overwhelmingly white. In this town, one school keeps kids divided. (Published May 2024)

What the fuck is wrong with Democrats

Elon musk (thank you for everything sir I respect you a whole lot sir) told me to go fuck myself and that he wants to eliminate Congress

Maybe… Just maybe- they’re all a bunch of thugs who should still be in prison?

TIL Canada senators are required by law to retire at 75. By my count, the U.S. currently has fourteen senators age 75 or over, with another twenty between the ages of 70 and 75

This is really something

No notes

Elon admits NASA “saved” SpaceX with billions of taxpayer dollars - how much are we now gonna give him to “go to Mars”?

There is no separation between @chrismurphyct.bsky.social and the White House right now because he keeps agreeing to unanimous consent like a fucking lapdog just as they want him to do.

WSJ says Twitter is telling advertisers to spend more with them “or else” — “They are afraid of the legal/political ramifications of not doing so.” Do y’all get it yet? www.wsj.com/business/med...

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

Elon’s busy schedule today is claiming astronauts were left in the ISS for political reasons, getting corrected by an ISS astronaut, throwing a fit where he calls the astronaut a slur, then complaining that we should deorbit the ISS

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

They could try "I don't have the authority to mass fire these workers without cause and neither do you"

Breaking WaPo: Trump is preparing to dissolve the leadership of the U.S. Postal Service and absorb the independent mail agency into his administration. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This sort of gives away the "liberal deep state" nonsense. *There has never been a Director of the FBI who was a Democrat. *The Republican Directors were not targeting conservatives, if the word "conservative" has any meaning.

NPR thinks they can kiss the king’s ass and he’ll spare them. But he won’t.

Class war against poor, disabled, and working people being waged by the world’s richest man.

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

I hadn't seen this yesterday, Elon Musk saying two lawyers were "undermining civilization" which "seems like a generational trauma transfer issue." What a strange insult. Does he know their parents or something? Ah, I see: they're both Jewish. It's Musk being a Nazi. Again.

The message is clear. The Trump WH thinks democracy is a joke.

So is there any Megyn Kelly segment that gets a media write-up these days where she isn't demanding to speak to the manager? www.mediaite.com/news/shame-o...

Grateful that so many editorial cartoonists are now trying to convey Musk's creepy, fucked-up face
