Elon Musk, whose net worth is over $500 billion, met with US Senators, whose average net worth is $2.3 million and who make $15,000 a month with fully paid health benefits, to discuss cutting social security benefits to people who get an average of $1700 per month.

Let that sink in.

In 2023, ABC News obtained video from Georgia prosecutors' interview with ex-Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis, in which Ellis tells them she was personally informed by a top Trump adviser that Trump was "not going to leave" the WH— despite losing the 2020 election

MASSIVE BREAKING VIA @WSJ

Elon Musk has been in regular contact with Vladimir Putin since 2022, discussing a range of topics including personal matters, business, and geopolitics.

- Putin asked Musk not to activate Starlink over Taiwan as a favor to Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
- Musk initially supported Ukraine’s military with Starlink but later restricted its use for offensive operations, aligning with Russia’s interests.
- Russian officials have pressured Musk on several fronts, including potential threats to his businesses, while Kremlin disinformation campaigns use Musk’s social platform X to influence U.S. politics.
- Musk’s deep connections to U.S. military projects, including SpaceX’s $1.8 billion classified contracts, raise national security alarms over his close ties to Putin.
- Musk is now a key backer of Trump’s 2024 campaign and could hold a major role in a future Trump administration.

BREAKING: A Medal of Honor recipient torches Donald Trump for his vile claim that the Presidential Medal of Freedom he gave to one of his donors is "actually much better" than the Medal of Honor.

Colonel Jack Jacobs didn't pull any punches here...

"I can't believe we have to have this conversation but here we are. I guess what I want to ask you is, do the — do your peers, do the men and women — do veterans, do the men and women of the military understand that Donald Trump not only doesn't respect them, but really does see them as suckers and losers?" Nicolle Wallace asked Jacobs during an appearance on MSNBC.

"Well, many do, but many don't," replied Jacobs. "Despite the fact that Donald Trump is one of the most inept public speakers I've heard, and I'm an old person, so I've heard a great number of public speakers, and you often don't know what it is he's saying, not convinced that he knows what it is he's saying. He drifted off in castigating people who have served and sacrificed and can't tell the difference between the Medal of Freedom and the Medal of Honor."

Jacobs then slammed Trump as a "man who, as you said, denigrated people who served and sacrificed so that he can enjoy the freedom that he enjoys now."

"And if it weren't for these people, he wouldn't be in the position where he could — and all of us wouldn't be in the position — where we can enjoy freedom," he continued. "This is also the guy who managed to avoid serving because of a really deleterious heel spur on his foot."

"All that notwithstanding, the problem in this regard is that Donald Trump does not understand some of the things which in history have described how we get to a position where we can have freedom," Jacobs went on. "That is through the service and sacrifice of others."

"I'm reminded of the observation of Hillel, that first-century Hebrew scholar who wrote 'If I am only for myself, what am I?'" Jacobs said. "Well, if you're only for yourself, you're probably Donald Trump."

"Or the observation, almost as poignantly, of John Stewart Mill, who wrote about war," he continued. "Trump ought to like him, because he was something of an individualist and a libertarian, who wrote that 'a man for whom nothing is more important than his own safety is a miserable creature, who is made free and kept free by better men than he.'"

Indeed and well said. Trump is a miserable creature who has zero respect for our military veterans, no love for our country, and nothing but contempt for our values.

Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Trump is a disgrace who is unfit to be Commander-in-Chief — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

Guys, @realDonaldTrump won’t like you sharing this video at all!!!

Trump hated this ad so much he's demanding we pull it down:

THREAD: Today, The Lincoln Project received a cease and desist for an ad currently running on Fox News in Mar-a-Lago. As it turns out, these losers can’t stand to be laughed at or mocked, and LaCivita and Wiles apparently didn’t appreciate that our ad states the obvious–

For the first time in the history of the United States, billionaires had a lower effective tax rate than working-class Americans.

Let that sink in.

Wealth tax. Now.

The Chicago White Sox want $1 billion in public funding to build a new baseball stadium.

What happens if the city and state of Illinois refuse to play ball?

The team's billionaire owner threatened to move the franchise away.

This is exactly how the stadium scam works.

Walmart hiked prices on its Great Value food brands.

The result? $16.3 billion in earnings, up 44% from the prior year.

Walmart also rewarded shareholders with $5.9 billion in buybacks and dividends.

When I say price gouging is driving inflation, this is what I mean.

I bet that young lady has plenty to tell. I hope they find every single child that was preyed upon to tell on every one of those perverts so that they get what they deserve. Look at Trump with his hand on her leg. Sick bastard.

Read this carefully. This is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama quoting the Bible for a judicial decision recognizing fertilized and frozen embryos as "children." This is absolutely insane theocracy and this is coming for all of us if we don't stop it.

Pepsi replaced its 32oz Gatorade bottle with a 28oz for the same price.

Nabisco shrunk the family size box of Wheat Thins by 12%.

General Mills shrunk the family size box of Cocoa Puffs by 6%.

Frito-Lay shrunk the size of a bag of Doritos by 5%.

Shrinkflation is everywhere.

As Mike Johnson cuts off aid to Ukraine, we need to see why he’s obeying Trump. People with secrets comply - and Johnson is almost certainly a child abuser. From 2019-2023 he told 3 different stories about his “adopted son”, all lies. This 🧵 reviews them - and Matt Gaetz. 1/

GE boasted $7 billion in profit in 2023. So it must have paid a lot in federal taxes, right?

If you guessed $1, you’d still be high. In fact, GE got a *refund* of $423 million.

This is what I mean when I say the tax system is rigged for the rich.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:

1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%

Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.

That is how we will pay for it.
