Hot take: Dems would draw *more* support from disaffected Republicans by moving to the LEFT on big, change-the-structure-of-society issues. Full-on socialized healthcare High marginal tax rates for middle-high and high incomes Huge investments in education Wide-reaching campaign finance reform etc

[clears throat, blows into pitch pipe] Calling Musk and DOGE a cost-cutting team is like saying a guillotine is a “weight loss device.”

Y'all know that Trump, Musk, and friends are going to falsify a lot of data about how the U.S. is doing, right? Data about the economy, trade, employment, crime, incarcerations, budgets, public health, and more. Prepare for announcements about how great everything is going.

I don't have an email address, but in the last week I've worked 6 days on 5 routes serving more than 10,000 people, delivering more than 700 tracked items and more than 10,000 pieces of mail, all while you did ketamine shots with a 19 year old edgelord named Big Ballz and ignored child support pleas

Oh dear.

1. Illegal 2. Menacing 3. All emails will be fed into Musk’s LLM.

This is so much more than only antisemitic. This is a repudiation of the civil rights movement writ large. I always thought JewBelong was cringey and counterproductive (and I don’t agree with their politics) but this is a stunning jaw-dropper.

This is a great🧵. And another reason that liberalism should be thought of as necessary but not sufficient.

Also, the response to all of this stuff should be exactly what Trump would say under such circumstances: make me.

Are there any billionaires who know what “negotiating” means?
