If there's an exception to this I haven't found it: Every single time I hear "Why didn't you focus on X," I just Google it and find that the controversy in question (in addition to being dwarfed by Trump) was, in fact, covered by mainstream lib outlets. https://t.co/ohHOZ1MzZl

S-tier Tour de France team reveal by Lidl-Trek, drawn by an actual artist, unlike some of the garbage AI slop we’ve seen in the last week, coming from UNO-X and Caja Rural. 🤷‍♂️

.@elonmusk what's the point of retweeting something like this, leaving us all wondering exactly what you mean, rather than stating it out loud? You're saying that white supporters of migration should be murdered and then migrants themselves? That's what you seem to be saying.

[David French @DavidAFrench]

And to add to the injustice and absurdity, Trump is likely to pardon everyone involved, including himself. And we've barely even begun to talk about the national security implications of Trump's international graft.

[Isaac Saul @Ike_Saul]

Right in front of our faces. Zero attempt to hide or conceal it. Absolute, total self-enrichment at a magnitude we have never really seen. And every week brings a new story just like it. They're getting richer at every opportunity.

[Jonathan Martin @jmart]

Story in plain view is that much of Trump’s second term time + energy is devoted to buildings and grounds work. And not in a winking, builder-in-chief way. It’s how he spends his days

Elon, I can give you many, many names of people who have died because of your aid cuts.:
*Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because you stopped paying for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
*Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of your cuts in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village.
*Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after you interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him.
*Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when you cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to him.
I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge you: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.

@souljagoyteller This is terrifying

@maiamindel “Yes the locked warehouse is full of HIV meds, and yes, the street is full of people dying outside, but you see this is actually a test of my Superior Altruism to take away the key.”

@TrungTPhan This unit is pretty good but it should have kitty litter trays in the bottom. Gotta think synergy.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Maybe Vance doesn't know this history because it's in one of the books his administration banned.

The difference between Watergate and now is that back then, Republicans actually did something about a law-breaking president. Today, they only roll over for their cult leader.

@ReichlinMelnick The only Haitians I’ve met are doctors or other high professionals. Interesting how fast they assimilate and achieve. A more cynical person might ask if maybe the “natives” are a bit intimidated.

@lauriewired I mean back in the good ole’ days my gpus were mining every second I was gaming.

[Bentham's Bulldog🔸 @Benthamsbulldog]

1. The argument does not depend on consequentialism. If you sabotage existing life-saving programs, then you are responsible for causing deaths, not just failing to save lives. One good test of this is counterfactual: if Musk had never existed, millions wouldn't be dead. The same isn't true of mere failure to save.
2. Even if it's not a killing, it is still very very bad! Failing to save millions at comparatively minor cost is very bad!

There’s a special place in hell for people who make false CPS calls

[Daniel @growing_daniel]

People act like super convenient crack cocaine gambling on every smart phone is the status quo or something inevitable and it’s not. Like we can literally keep the laws we’ve had forever and ban this ultra potent society cancer

[Alex Tabarrok @ATabarrok]

The natural state to which most people default is rule by the big man. The rule of law is a great, hard-won but fragile achievement.

[Renee DiResta @noUpside]

Gloated about it, in fact. What was it that made him fixate on USAID? 🤔

Well, Mike Benz took credit for that. A guy who worked for the State Dept for ~2 months — but who the Twitter Files and Tablet Mag crack journos thought had worked there for 2 *years*. They thought Benz “ran cyber” at State. They thought his blog was actually a foundation and called him a “whistleblower”. Elon ate it up. They were all proud of all of it.
