What’s the context? What’s the evidence? Causation or correlation? Judgement & punishment or love & compassion? Lead by example.

@elonmusk Regarding misrepresentation, please start leading by example.

@thejefflutz Yeah, but that won't make up for the reputational damage that could have easily been prevented with a tiny bit of PR. The best suing is no suing. @garyblack00

@TSLAFanMtl This is real, though in a campus construction area normally closed to traffic. I thought it funny enough to take a photo. 🙂

@niccruzpatane Tesla (not you, Nic) makes me so tired of hearing "Most people have no idea" about so many amazing aspects of their cars (performance, value, charging, safety, low maintenance, luxury, quality, etc)

The need for advertising is so obvious and has been for a very long time.

@bpitas @SawyerMerritt I just use the accelerator pedal for that (often). Doing so does not disengage FSD.

President Donald Trump's decision to launch the war with Iran follows a "set of norms" that has developed throughout American history, says Pulitzer Prize-winning presidential historian Jon Meacham.

"What President Trump's doing in Iran, interestingly, is drawing on a set of norms that aren't quite explicitly spelled out, but have developed as part of our custom that presidents can exert force in this way," he told PBS News' Amna Nawaz.

He said the nation’s founders were “intimately familiar with the history of what was the Old World,” which had been shaped by autocracies and wars.

“The point of, in many ways, the late 18th century of that political revolution that the American experiment really embodies was, let's take the affairs of nations away from the whims of a single person, and let's at least try to entrust them to the clash of interests of the many,” Meacham explained.

Since that time, he said, the power of the executive branch has "steadily” grown throughout U.S. history.

"The only thing that's really important in determining the broad direction of the United States of America at this hour is what goes on in Donald Trump's head," Meacham said.

Meacham, a bestselling author, spoke to @IAmAmnaNawaz for PBS News' podcast, "Settle In." He discussed former President Joe Biden's legacy, the one piece of historical text he thinks we all should read and how he still finds hope as America marks its 250th birthday.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

@ennui365 Add the second plane and label it GOP Congress.

They’ve ceded their power to the executive because they approve.

James Talarico: “It is past time to impeach Kristi Noem. It is past time to prosecute agents who have abused their power. We should be cracking down on the cartels, not our communities. We should be deporting gang members, not small business owners. We should be hunting down human traffickers, not moms and babies. This has never been about immigration. This has always been about control. The easiest way to control a population is to keep people afraid. We’re not supposed to fear our government. Our government is supposed to fear us”

[Machine Pun Kelly 🇺🇦 @KellyScaletta]

Do not let this devolve into a debate about whether Iran is bad.

It is about whether one person can declare war unilaterally and without discussion.

[Bill Maher @billmaher]

Nothing has misled the American people to the warped belief that the president can act like a king more than this stupid, boring, performative after-dinner speech from hell. #SOTU

[Chris Sites @Sites_Chris]

@ATabarrok In other words, No Kings.

The 20th-century notion of co-equal branches is a modern myth.

Wow. My trash just got picked up by an all-electric garbage truck. Thank you @raleighgov.

It’s important that you understand what happened last night.

Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue.

In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.

CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.”

In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump.

But censorship always backfires.

Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.

There is no reason any of these men need any of this gear. This entire situation is not only dangerous and illegal. It is absurd and stupid.
