This is yet another example of how we should do our best to stay away from services offered by billionaires. They will use it as leverage when they don't get what they want. Don't buy his cars, use his satellites, or support anything else he touches. Tell that to your reps as well.

Putting aside Musk’s support for yet another far-right, anti-Muslim party, the leader of Vox says climate change is “the greatest scam in history”. Does the electric car guy agree with that?

We pay taxes. We want them used to employ people, help people, and give back essential rights such as education and healthcare to our country. We do not want OUR hard earned money gate kept and hoarded by out of touch billionaires and a delusional political cult.

This guy wants the AfD to win in Germany. He wants Pierre Poilievre and the CPC to win in Canada. I don’t know about you, but given the devastation and fascism he’s doing everything he can to create in the United States and beyond, I wouldn’t vote for someone this guy likes in a million years.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I’m not a federal government employee but here are my ‘five bullets’ of what I ‘accomplished’ last week: 1. Pissed off JD Vance 2. Pissed off Elon Musk 3. Taped a hilarious convo with Hasan Minhaj (out next month) 4. Taped a great convo with Jemele Hill 5. Drank more than one chocolate milkshake.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Actually it has worked excellently all it ever was, was a lie to reduce the taxes for the richest, and now they pay next to nothing. To say it was a disaster is to believe they ever had an intention for anything else. This is exactly what they wanted.

Dear German friends — we’re hearing in Canada how the far-right extremist AfD party is polling well in part because they’re “strong on social media”, Elon Musk’s interference, & their attempts to appear mainstream. Please look closely at the chaos Musk & extremists are creating in the United States.

Elon Musk does little more than bluff these days, and basically all of his success over the last few years only proves how little backbone anyone in this country has left. We have to start calling his bluffs. Make him deliver on his threats. This is the game.

President Trump calls Zelensky a “dictator,” which we know can’t be true because Trump loves all the dictators. That’s why he appeases and coddles Putin and his filthy imperialist war on the people of Ukraine. History teaches us that we bow down to dictators and tyrants at our own peril.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Montana is the next state to try to ban basic income pilots. They claim they want to "protect work" which is weird with all the pilots showing it increases work or has very little impact on work. It's almost like rich special interests don't want people to have the power to say no to poverty wages.
