We tried to warn. And yet the press “fact checked” anyone who dared to say Trump was going to implement Project 2025—because he said he wouldn’t. Insane.

Sure, Kevin McCarthy may have humiliated himself for Trump. Yes, it took him 15 tries to become Speaker. And, of course, he had to beg the dumbest, most racist people in Congress to vote for him. But on the bright side, he ended up with absolutely nothing.

He’s literally standing around in his backwards hat looking at a bunch of migrants who’ve been rounded up and cheering the efforts of the border guards. Absolutely vile human being.

In news that will surprise absolutely no one (other than Elon Musk), a new study has found that if you allow hate speech on your platform, it makes your users think less of the companies who still advertise with you, harming their brands. www.techdirt.com/2023/09/14/n...

Do it. Via Kyle Griffin: Sen. Elizabeth Warren says the Senate should investigate Elon Musk's alleged role in thwarting a Ukrainian drone from attacking Russia's naval fleet last year in the Black Sea.

Today's newsletter has a simple message: Elon Musk is a dangerous nation-state-level actor using his massive wealth and power to influence elections, wars, and markets. We must nationalize SpaceX and Starlink and put a stop to billionaire despots. tinyurl.com/wyat91323

Also drives me nuts that people like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg keep getting hit with pissant $3 and $5 million fines. We desperately need penalties rooted in the modern world that are big enough for billionaires to care about them.

I don’t get why Elon Musk is being treated with such kid gloves by regulators, between Ukraine and the horrifying child sexual abuse material issue on Twitter. Yes, money, but his companies would almost certainly be making much more of it if he was Rendered Unavailable and replaced.

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United. Harlan Crow and his family's political contributions then went up 862%. Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit. See how this works?
