Starlink, Space X, Tesla and X are both economic and political vehicles created not just to enrich but empower their owner. He is an ignorant, racist, rogue, narcissist who supports America's enemies and an anti-democratic, white supremacist agenda. Supporting those companies in any way at all...

I am pleased to announce that Whitman-Walker has returned a trans care resource, now under “primary care.” I am told the decision was to update today and that it is a case of bad timing, but also confirmed the reason why it was removed was fear of the Trump admin. Still. I am very happy it’s back.

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

She needs to be in charge of Oversight. Currently, we have a 70+ year old man, battling cancer who looks and is unwell. Oversight needs a 'don't fuck with me' face and she's got it.

McConnell's legacy is grim - he fought campaign finance reform, stonewalled Supreme court nominees - but what stands out most? More than any single person, he had the chance to end Trump but chose not to do so, even as he understood the risk Trump posed. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/jan-6-and-...
