If you watch only one video today, let it be this one. Watch NYU Stern School of Business Professor Scott Galloway’s outstanding commentary on what prosperity and wealth should mean in America. His words could not be more on point and timely. Please pass it on.

Elon and Trump are very weak men who love to act tough. Unfortunately, this feud will likely just be words. Neither one will actually do anything directly to the other. Trump will prob just fire some DOGE ppl and Elon will go after Bannon or something.

Jon Stewart is a legend & the way this show is trying to explain to a mainstream audience the gravity what is happening in the US is amazing. It was both thrilling & terrifying to be part of it. Thank you @TheDailyShow 👏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG7C...

The political media is obsessively relitigating the issue of Biden being too old and out of touch while the current president babbles incoherently at press conferences and regularly admits he's not the one making decisions on key policy matters.

Good morning to everyone but the most corrupt president to ever exist, who is at this moment selling out his nation to the funders of terrorism so his boy can sign another $2 billion deal. Oh and Tom Holman

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

Let me be clear, we're in a perilous moment in this country. Donald Trump is taking away our economic and civil rights — and Americans are feeling helpless and powerless. It's time to step out of your comfort zone, into the streets, and make your voice heard.

So, let's examine this DOGE story for a moment. Energy Dept spox says: "This reporting is false. No DOGE personnel have accessed these NNSA systems." Okay, but the story asserts: Two DOGE guys were given accounts on those networks. DOE's denial is not a denial of that. /1

As more information is revealed, it is clear that the cover-up is even worse than the crime. Every single person involved has no business being involved in our government. At minimum, there should be resignations. And prosecutions.

If he's still alive, then Donald Trump has no plans to give up the White House should there even be a 2028 election. He does not. If Democrats were smart, they'd use every press conference and news guest spot to start bringing this up NOW...and then never stop talking about it.

For the democrats saying “we can’t let the govt shut down” you’ve already lost. It’s not on you. Republicans control everything, didn’t come to you for anything except your vote. Where else can you force changes? You can’t… you’re a willing participant in Republican majority

I’ve been watching White folks tell themselves the lie that Republicans are better on the economy for over 4 f*cking decades and it’s never once been true. GOP is better at fraud that’s the not the same thing. Wake up.

It’s nice how they’ve replicated the middle school dynamic of the insecure bully and his sniveling sidekick picking on someone surrounded by a circle of scared little boys who also try to talk shit so the bully doesn’t come after them. Or as the right calls it, “masculinity.”

And in a complete coincidence, Eric Adams’s attorney has also frequently served as … Elon Musk’s attorney.

At this point, I think you’d be fooling yourself if you think Trump & Elon have any intentions of giving up control in 4 years. No way they do what they currently are with the thoughts they’d give it back in 4 years. Their fingerprints will be all over everything. Way too legally exposed.

Every new agency, it needs to be said: Musk is NOT going after DOD, which has never passed an audit. This is not about the deficit.

submitted 121 days ago • 42 comments

And ... that's actually the right framing? This isn't about making government "more efficient" or more productive; it is "anti-government" at its core. Musk called federal workers "the opposition," which says it all. He's a threat to our government, which is to say, he's a threat to all of us.

Imagine saying this about an agency that has helped millions of people around the world avoid malaria, obtain clean water, and gain access to food & health care. Especially when you’re the world’s richest man & your net worth is something like 20 times this agency’s annual budget. What a foul soul.

Not just unusual. It’s unprecedented. It’s a seismic reordering of American government and an actual instance of the “weaponization” of the DOJ that the Republicans were heretofore so fond of complaining about (when it wasn’t happening).

So Trump is removing funding for EVs and EV charging to “promote true consumer choice.” Is he going to eliminate the massive subsidies that oil companies get? Eliminate those and let the market play out. We all know what’s really going on. Extortion. He just wants companies to “donate” to him.
