Elon Musk is not an elected official. He's been elected to nothing and has no place inserting himself like he’s the president when Congress is trying to get disaster relief to those who need it.

A somewhat hot take I earnestly believe is that it’s good (politically) for the left, liberals and broad center-left to have the billionaire oligarchs openly on the side of even pulling the strings of the right-wing Republican government. Nature is healing!

The ultimate question. On Jan 21, 2025, who gets to run the @POTUS account here and on twitter: Trump or Musk ?

An unelected billionaire was crowned co-President by the Republican Party. They’ve given him the influence to make a damn post that throws a spending bill into limbo cause House Republicans are scared of him. No greater example of oligarchy. Where the ultra-wealthy run the show.

It’s official… Adam Schiff and Andy Kim are now U.S. Senators after being sworn in moments ago. Since both of them are filling vacancies, Schiff and Kim were appointed by their respective governors to serve out the rest of the terms of Dianne Feinstein and Bob Menendez.

Good thread and wholly agree with the larger theme — impossible to know exactly what will happen but nobody should concede in advance that Trump can just do all kinds of illegal stuff by fiat.

Jeffries: "We've seen repeatedly amongst my extreme MAGA Republican colleagues that they say one thing to the American people before the election and then do something different after the election. House Republicans said they were gonna protect Social Security and Medicare ... "

The Republican economic plan is inflationary. Massive tax cuts. Big tariffs. Exploding deficits. A lot of people voted for Trump because of inflation and when he drives up the cost of everything we must keep our message clean and simple.

I said why I was fine with Biden’s pardon. Reaction among highly engaged Dems seems overwhelmingly supportive. This tweet, I think, helps explain why. The pardon taps into the almost unfathomably deep ocean of “fuck you” Dems are feeling toward the gatekeepers of political discourse in the country.
