Can’t stop thinking about how Wall Street is celebrating Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire, while he single handedly eliminated humanitarian aid that will lead to the needless deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest children in the world in the next 4 years.
Elon Musk held up a chainsaw, fed USAID into the wood chipper, and at least 600,00 people have already died as a result - two-thirds of them children.
History's first trillionaire.
This dipshit discovered that SQL server at one point replaced blank date of birth fields with a default of 01/01/1900, so he harassed an 86 year old woman.
Think about all the column inches and headlines devoted to Graham Platner over the past week versus Ken Paxton and then tell me again we have a ‘liberal’ media.
I don’t know what kind of chance this has of prevailing, but I’m glad to see it. This is the kind of fight we need against Trump‘s efforts to destroy news networks. In this scenario, CNN is merged into CBS and becomes state TV. https://t.co/GBfjnFEgfm
This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.
The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.
And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.
Record-breaking temperatures.
A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.
The response?
Yank out the instruments and walk away.
That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.
For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.
The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.
That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

Yes I sold paintings. About $225,000 a year over four years. The whole of my business while my father was President. Congress investigated it.
If you’re outraged about that, where is all your outrage now?
Kushner's Affinity Partners holds roughly $5 to $6 billion. Close to 99% of it comes from foreign sovereign wealth funds. Saudi Arabia. The UAE. Qatar. Over $90M in fees annually.
Every time the shadow docket has touched a contested map, the outcome favors Republicans.
Texas gerrymander: allowed.
New York Democratic flip: blocked.
Louisiana: VRA gutted.
Virginia Democratic map: refused to save it.
Alabama: a Black district erased.
Same direction every time.
NEWS: A @lawfare report finds that *97* Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the attack were arrested, charged, or convicted of subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported.
Incredible work from Katherine Pompilio:

Literally the only explanation for why Trump would install Pulte in this position is to have him use the resources and authorities of the US intelligence community against his political enemies. Democrats should fight this tooth and nail starting with Section 702 reauthorization
Donald Trump Jr is a paid strategic advisor for Kalshi, and a major investor and advisor for Polymarket.
The Trump administration is using taxpayer money to sue to protect their family’s investments.
This is what corruption looks like.
