Elon Musk held up a chainsaw, fed USAID into the wood chipper, and at least 600,00 people have already died as a result - two-thirds of them children.
History's first trillionaire.
It's hard to fathom how deeply evil this is, and that we have people running our country who get sick pleasure from sending women fleeing violence in Iran to an African country in the middle of a brutal civil war.

I feel strongly about this: journalists have an ethical responsibility to call these election lies what they are. We just stop hiding behind the euphemistic “without proof.” Or democracy is fragile and under assault. Patrician journalistic niceties serve no one is a moment of crisis, not even journalism. We are called to reveal and convey truth. It starts with every interaction. It starts in the moment. It starts to their faces. It feels good to be free to do what I think is right.
Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.
Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.
All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
I've gone toe-to-toe w Kaitlin, she can hold her own but I don't understand @whca these days. To stand for a free press, yet allow the POTUS to denegrate that stance daily, then invite him to dinner (correspondents dinner) is nonsensical & I promise, he loves the twisted irony.
I have not pulled the trigger on this since Jan 2021 and the pardons of all the Jan 6 defendants, but I think there's a strong argument that the settlement of Trump's bogus, unconstitutional case in return for a $1.8b fund for 'Biden weaponization' is an impeachable offense.
Trump didn’t just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol.
He’s now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars.
You could not make this up.
Every taxpayer needs to read this DoJ produced document that signs off on this unprecedented “settlement.” Just stunning how the political appointees at DoJ conspired with Trump to create this $1.7B slush fund which literally can be used to pay anyone Trump desires. https://t.co/blI8Vn65Yr
We need more voices speaking up to fight against the demolition of democracy in our country, Marc Elias says.
“This is rolling back the foundation of what made America possibly a democracy, beginning in the 1960s. And yet, in most corners, there’s silence.”
Consider working hard to elect Dems in MI, WI, IA, ME, OH, NC, and AK. Hammer Trump and R’s on his disastrous war, tariffs, corruption, and other policies driving up costs for Americans. Win political power. Enact structural reforms. It’s the only way.
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
Americans love their Canadian brothers and sisters. They are the greatest allies, friends, and neighbors any country could have. So proud of Buffalo Sabres fans. 🇺🇸🇨🇦
