The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Omg they did a male version of the ‘secret vote’ ad and it’s even better than the female version.

America could wake up on Wednesday with all three branches of our government — the — Executive, Legislative, and Judicial — Trumpist.

With this clip, take five minutes to ponder Germany’s memorials and the price that nation paid for being bamboozled by a bombastic autocrat. Listen to the heartfelt message of my German tour guides, for whom these memorials are like ghosts of mistakes made and evils allowed… ghosts that haunt their society still. These are the same guides who clink glasses in the beer halls and yodel from the hilltops with our American tour members. They admire America. They love America. And they are worried for America.

If we vote for fascism, it’ll likely be won by one or two percent (or even less)…and perhaps just a few stadiums of people will tip the balance. And history has taught my European friends that the cost of a course correction is infinitely more heartbreaking after a wannabe dictator wins an election than before. We are all participants, we are all responsible, and we will all bear the consequences of our collective choice.

Pedestrian deaths are skyrocketing - we need to protect people *outside* of vehicles too! Join @ConsumerReports in supporting new @NHTSAgov efforts to protect pedestrians from life-threatening injuries. https://t.co/mFUFyBhXVy

Lower energy costs are good for business! A family-run row crop and processing operation in Seminole County, GA cut its grain drying cost by more than half thanks to a USDA’s Rural Energy for America grant, one of 70+ REAP grants to GA businesses in 2024 https://t.co/p7NOUcSfxJ

@BrentToderian @modacitylife I dunno about the math on that, but I fully believe all that riding is good for the riders' heart and lung capacity.

NEW: Ford’s CEO tells the truth, that the automaker needs a “radical change.”

“We are just in love with these monster vehicles. We have to start to get back in love with smaller vehicles. It’s super important for our society and for EV adoption.”

Right.

@JamesFallows Today feels a lot different than last night!

Today the fact that Trump lied every time he opened his mouth, seems to have a greater salience the fact that Biden mumbled sometimes .

Today, Biden‘s voice is clear and strong, but Trump still lies every time he opens his mouth! 😄

Tell @USDANutrition to remove Lunchables from the school lunch program and offer our kids healthier food options. New @ConsumerReports tests found store-bought versions of these and similar kits had relatively high amounts of lead, cadmium, and sodium.

@Kenmcld I first experienced the intelligent speed assist in my new Chevy Bolt over the weekend. Quite impressive! Very glad to have it.

Congratulations to @AlGore on receiving the Medal of Freedom today—a fitting testament to his lifetime of leadership and service, especially in advancing the fight against the climate crisis. I’m glad to see him among such a distinguished group receiving our nation’s highest civilian honor.

@stevemouzon He was a pretty good mayor, too, while I lived in his city.
