Not that Elon really cares, but check out the market sentiment of BYD vs. TESLA for the last month. The market is a sober arbiter

#FusionVoting is a win for voters! 🙌 As @raders.bsky.social from @protectdemocracy.org explains, it empowers people to choose the party that best aligns with their worldview while expanding voter choice. 🗳️ Let’s bring back this powerful tool for a stronger #Democracy!

Canada-Russia hockey final tonight, just like old times.

“.. the share of Americans who think the economy is on the wrong track rose to 53% in the latest poll from 43% in the January 24-26 poll.” @reuters.com www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Friends - This is in Texas, DAMN.

❤️❤️❤️

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Yes think about how judges are supposed to decide if things the president does are constitutional, and why the richest man in the world who just bought the election might not be into that.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

The dumbest people who have ever existed are running the country

#Tesla. Gravity Economic Gravity takes hold

🧪Measles “is the thing we see first when public health starts to falter,” Ratner said recently from his office in New York City. www.latimes.com/science/stor...

Yes he is.

The American right has turned to Hungary to learn how authoritarians consolidate power. The American left should look to Poland to see how a big-tent coalition can defeat authoritarianism. It involves multiple parties appealing to different voters.

All kidding aside, the reason he is doing this is to establish some kind of culpability by @profgalloway.com and I. We never threatened these people but it is all in service of getting his supporters to think we did. It’s not a random tweet — all planned for a larger effort to silence us or worse.

Our political system needs new energy. Electoral reform—proportional representation & fusion voting—can open the door to multiple parties and fresh ideas. Let’s move past the same old grudge matches. It's time for change. #FusionVoting @leedrutman.bsky.social leedrutman.substack.com/p/how-did-am...

They want you so sad you give up. But people and nations are fighting back.

Plan vs “Concept of a Plan”Wonder how the DNC protesters are feeling about Trump’s idea to empty Gaza of Palestinians?

Great story from axios.

The shock and awe Musk, Vought, Bannon and Trump — are bringing will backfire if we’re smart about it. Make clear that DOGE is the Dept of Govt Extermination, not Efficiency. Let people see that their taxes are no longer paying for vital public services but to fatten the richest people on earth.

Senator Raphael Warnock ahead of the vote on RFK Jr. for HHS Secretary: "I simply do not trust him to oversee the CDC. He's unqualified, and I dare say that everybody here knows it." BOOM! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework. Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there prami.ibero.mx/informes-y-i...

This is Rupert Murdoch's Wallstreet Journal… Headline: “The Dumbest Trade War in History”

Goldman Sachs, Jan 21: "Despite Trump’s comments that the 25% tariff will be implemented in 10 days, we continue to believe the odds of a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico are low (20%)." Why have analysts been caught so flat-footed by Trump doing *exactly what he said he would*?

The government isn't like a household. It certainly isn't like a Swabian housewife paulkrugman.substack.com/p/revenge-of...

This is incredibly stupid. Firms will raise prices immediately, and there will be a rush to bring imports in before the tariffs are fully implemented www.ft.com/content/7fb4...

Poverty is a policy choice.

A small country that does the big things very well. #switzerland

Every Democratic Representative should be rushing to support Representative Salazar, a Fla Republican It's the right thing to do and it Floods The Zone with confusion. And shows Dems doing the right thing in a red district. @aoc.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Something to keep in mind for 2025 Written by James Miller of A Small Fiction

Let’s hope that Tik Tok is disabled tonight at midnight and all day tomorrow and Monday. Which means the biggest story on Monday will be… And the reaction from the newly installed President will be …

Canadian officials said they specifically want to focus on goods made in Republican or swing states, where the pain of tariffs would affect Donald Trump's allies. nyti.ms/3Wj7zVl

Tells you all you need to know about the guy.

“A republic, if you can keep it.” We’re in a two-party “doom loop” in which Republicans and Democrats each see the other as mortal enemies, not merely political opponents. This leads them to focus on winning power at all costs, instead of on solving the nation’s problems.

Don't you think today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks? I do.

Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are no longer in the Senate. But the damage they've done to our political system on behalf of Big Money will linger for years. Memo to Democrats: you can't win back working-class voters by following corporate cronies like Manchinema.

The Biden administration made final its long-awaited plan to offer billions of dollars in tax credits to companies that make hydrogen, in the hopes of building up a new industry that might help fight climate change.
