@beaverclver @TalbertSwan 🎯 it requires the mental blinders of "true belief." Thinking is anathema to them, they only do rote belief from approved sources.

@RpsAgainstTrump Any Tesla Director who was actually independent would be thinking this and talking to other Directors about it.

The fact that they are not is a major reason why Tesla's a higher risk investment than it was b4 Musk's publicity death spiral.

Democrats have no power to shut down the govt. Even when Republicans control the Presidency, House, Senate and every legislative committee, they still try to blame Democrats for their failures. Pass your budget! (Oh sorry, you can’t figure out how to do that). Pass your CR then!

Last year, House Republicans passed a budget with $22.8 billion for the Toxic Exposures Fund, starting October 1, 2025.

Yesterday, House Republicans passed a budget with ZERO dollars for the Toxic Exposures Fund, starting October 1, 2025.

House Republicans CUT $22.8 BILLION IN VETERANS CARE from their own budget. They’re working for Trump and Elon Musk.

The White House did not respond to questions posed by Reuters about how the TASS reporter gained entry to the Oval Office.

[ResistTheOligarchy @ResistOligarc]

It was unclear if the TASS reporter had been allowed into the Oval Office through a mistake by those White House officials, or whether there was a conflict between the press office's plans and the access decisions made by other White House officials.

A US federal judge ruled that Meta Platforms must face a lawsuit alleging it prefers hiring foreign workers over American candidates to reduce labor costs. The lawsuit, by three US citizens, claims the Facebook and Instagram parent company systematically favored visa holders.

Patrimonialism is distinguished by running the state as if it were the leader’s personal property or family business. It can be found in many countries, but its main contemporary exponent—at least until January 20, 2025—has been Vladimir Putin.
