Honestly, I'd love to see other House Dems devote some of their floor time just to calling Musk a dick, over and over and over again. It'll highlight the Trump effort to crack down on protected speech, emasculate Ed Martin and completely enrage Elon Musk.

A man who wrote the blueprint for jailing Trump’s enemies was just confirmed as his personal enforcer. McConnell voted yes. The GOP isn’t asleep—they’re building the gallows. If Americans choose a wait and see approach, they will regret it.

Sigh. 1. There’s always been a place to do that. They’re called “libraries.” 2. Plenty of people still don’t have great access to internet or computers. 3. LLMs were not made to educate people, but rather to steal people’s work and livelihoods. 4. They’re wrong a LOT.

If a woman had 13 kids by four different men, used ketamine and spent all her time running a shadow presidency, I’m not sure our society would celebrate her.

I was previously told by Republicans that the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan was one of history’s greatest scandals. But the chaotic withdrawal of *all* USAID from the whole globe?! Crickets.

Straight up lie. Funds approved specifically by congress to support cities experiencing major inflo of immigrants - in many cases bused in by states like Texas.
