Can't stop thinking about Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive worth $828 billion, spending $290 million to elect Trump, becoming $563 billion richer since Trump was elected and ending humanitarian aid that will lead to the deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest kids on the planet.

a few days ago brian kilmeade said homeless people should be executed. jesse waters accused the left of trying to start a civil war. fox news spent years telling verifiable lies about dominion and the 2020 election.

canceling jimmy kimmel isn’t about an offensive line in a monologue. it’s about wielding state power to silence political opposition.

Pitch-perfect response to Interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin from @GeorgetownLaw Dean Bill Treanor.

It’s always a privilege and honor to be part of the GULC community (and to be Bill’s colleague), but *especially* today.

@DonJBacon @pegsue1959 Please do something about this. Zelensky is our ally and we are calling him a dictator and shouting him down in the White House. We are inviting Putin to invade Europe. Please please stand up to this insanity before it is too late.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

This is what House Republicans voted for tonight.

Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

[Barb McQuade @BarbMcQuade]

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

[Senator Jerry Moran @JerryMoran]

I urge @SecRubio to distribute the $340 million in American-grown food currently stalled in U.S. ports to reach those in need.

Time is running out before this life-saving aid perishes.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

1/ Let me explain why the total destruction of USAID - happening as we speak - matters so much.

China - where Musk makes his money - wants USAID destroyed. So does Russia. Trump and Musk are doing the bidding of Beijing and Moscow. Why?

Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch.
President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.

Obama: When Donald Trump comes into office, we gave him that pandemic playbook and apparently it got dropped into a trash bin. Three years later a pandemic hits…

[Mel the Enforcer @Fah_Lo_Me]

There actually is one (and only one) thing I miss about trump: the Sarah Cooper parodies of him.

Who can forget this piece of pure comedic gold?

(Worthy of tweeting again today since she’s trending.)

With only a handful of sites reporting, we have counted 290 volunteers and 3,705 pounds of litter removed in the Rock Creek watershed. Thank you to all of these Rock Creek stewards (and check them out in this album).

“This is not a particularly polished 'Macbeth,' but it's the rare theatrical performance with a real palpable heart,” Associate Arts Editor Zachary Leiter writes of Three Crows’s production.

@lindsaylrodman Great book by a good friend and excellent writer, Jen Mueller (with @SenWhitehouse)! Definitely worth a read.

[Lindsay L. Rodman @lindsaylrodman]

I just ordered "The Scheme" about how dark money gave us the Supreme Court we see today. It's written by Senator Whitehouse and the incredible Jen Mueller - a dear friend who I personally witnessed pour her heart and soul (and talents) into it. BUY IT! https://t.co/gM9fKXQIm2

The tie breaker from Kamala Harris makes it official. The bill is passed.

[Abbie Dillen @AbbieDillen]

We are 1000% ready at @Earthjustice to help @POTUS use every tool available to address our climate emergency. We CAN ramp up renewables, clean up deadly pollution, create new jobs, and lead the global transition from fossil to clean energy. https://t.co/L74bIypcvh

[Rep. Liz Cheney @RepLizCheney]

During these hearings, I urge all Americans not to be distracted by politics.

This is serious.

We cannot let America become a nation of conspiracy theories and thug violence.
