.@JamesTalarico: Three dudes — Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos — now own more wealth than 165 million Americans combined.
They're not just buying yachts and jets. They're buying power.
Our schools are being defunded and our healthcare premiums are about to go up because they want another tax break. It’s time to limit their power.
One of CDC’s final blows. And what it means for you., by @dr_kkjetelina https://t.co/7fNwap2oeV I agree with @dr_kkjetelina we no longer can trust the CDC website. "At this time, I suggest the general public avoid the CDC website".
RFK Jr forces CDC to say “studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”. It’s a fundamental misunderstanding of science. Science can not rule out infinite remote possibilities. But science has conclusively shown no link between vaccines and autism
Texas Republicans are trying to force public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom.
I told the bill author: “This bill is not only un-constitutional and un-American, it’s deeply un-Christian.” #txlege
In Donald Trump's America, criminals and insurrectionists are released from prison and law enforcement officers are punished for going after them in the first place.
This is the behavior of tyrants.
First, Trump pardoned and released violent offenders onto our streets with reckless abandon.
Now he's purging the FBI of "non-loyalists."
This is not law and order.

Where did Trump voters get their news? 📰
Yes, there's social and partisan sites, but there is another influential strategy that isn't getting enough attention: Manipulated, pay-to-play and all out fake news sites
I've been covering a mix of those for years. Here's a primer
🧵
The craziest on the Right are all barking out their nutty wish lists & demands. They are going to overplay their hand in short order. Many voters had no idea exactly what these people planned to do. Now they will find out and we will soon see if they like what they signed up for.
“And it’s the crucial one: Why didn’t a majority of voters see these things? And understanding the answer to that question is how we start to dig out of this tragic mess.
The answer is the right-wing media. Today, the right-wing media—Fox News (and the entire News Corp.), Newsmax, One America News Network, the Sinclair network of radio and TV stations and newspapers, iHeart Media (formerly Clear Channel), the Bott Radio Network (Christian radio), Elon Musk’s X, the huge podcasts like Joe Rogan’s, and much more—sets the news agenda in this country. And they fed their audiences a diet of slanted and distorted information that made it possible for Trump to win.”
