(THREAD) There’s so much Elongelical copium today in my comments I figure it’s time for a thread on Musk that’s exclusively made up of major-media reports on him. Want the truth about Elon? RT this. (Be aware he’ll sic his Community Notes stormtroopers on any words he dislikes.)
15 years ago today SCOTUS ruled on Citizens United which allows billionaires and mega donors to buy our elections. It is on full display with the incoming administration and it's an existential threat to Democracy. As voters we need to #StopTheOligarchy
I submitted my resignation last week…my 2 year term was already up 🤷♂️😅
I was honored to serve as co-chair of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. My fellow council members - unpaid volunteers like me - were hardworking, talented people who inspired me every day. I’m proud of what we accomplished on behalf of the American people…like a historic partnership between the White House and every major sports league to increase access to sports and health programs for kids.
I hope @realdonaldtrump exercises his presidential authority so the Council can continue to advocate for fitness and good health for all Americans. These are bipartisan issues…nonpartisan issues.
May God give you the wisdom, Mr. President, to put politics and name calling aside…and instead lift up the everyday people working to bring America together. Let’s build longer tables….
Trump’s remarks in the Capitol Visitor Center today were a reminder that neither lies nor the liar who tells them get better with age. The Select Committee evidence is available on multiple websites and, as a criminal defendant, Donald Trump has had access to all the transcripts for years. Remember Trump’s character: He sat in his dining room watching on television as his supporters attacked our Capitol and brutally assaulted law enforcement. For hours, he refused to instruct the mob to leave. The truth will never change.
Facial recognition : US oligarchy. Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Sundar Pichai, Elon Musk. Trump announces a “Department of External Revenue”. Australia must not make itself dependent on Starlink satellites (or Huawei) for our telecommunications or internet.
Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States. I break down his inauguration, looking at the threats and gaslighting found in his speech.

This go-round Melania has a lot to say.
This is why no one should have felt sorry for her being married to a pig.
She stays married to an animal because she is an animal too. Remember she was spreading birtherism lies too.
Now she's creating drama for her 40-million-dollar documentary by lying.
She's blaming Barack and Michelle Obama for her nasty husband's lack of preparation the first time they were in the White House.
The whole Trump family will go down as the trashiest in White Housing history.

Senator Pauline Hanson has claimed Australia is experiencing its worst per capita recession in history, but as @AAPFactcheck reveals, economic figures show a history of longer and deeper recessions.

Now on day 4 of @ATT mistakenly blacklisting the IMEI on a new business @Apple iPhone 16 they shipped me via upgrade.
4 days without being able to communicate with my team, staff, customers and vendors.
4 days, 12 phone calls and no solutions.
Outrageous.
President Biden inherited a country rocked by a pandemic and an economic crisis and helped us recover from both, among many other achievements.
Much will be written about his legacy, but for now, let's start with: Thank you, Joe.
Iran is a massive supplier of murderous suicide drones to Russia, which it uses to invade Europe and kill Ukrainians. War criminal Putin and the regime in Tehran are two sides of the same coin and are soon signing a treaty of friendship. To defeat Iran, we must stop Russia.
