How about your wife, Ted?

Is she for sale?

BREAKING: Emergency crews are at the scene of an incident involving a Delta Air Lines plane that flipped over while arriving Monday at Toronto Pearson Airport from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Airport officials say "all passengers and crew are accounted for." https://t.co/ym4peiciYt

"Musk bought Twitter for $40bn. He bought the US government for $200m. That is a good deal...He got the whole thing & he got to run it... We've never had a guy who gives the money...& then gets to run the thing."

From my appearance on Joy Reid's MSNBC show tonight, on Elon Musk:

[Andrew—#IAmTheResistance @AmoneyResists]

I despise @elonmusk more than anyone on the planet and think the way he drags his kid around with him as a PR prop/shield is absolutely disgusting.

But I agree with his son.

Trump is most definitely not the President and needs to go away.

But so does Elon fucking Musk.

Who was this reporter? I’d like to buy them a drink. 🥃

[TizzyEnt @TizzyEnt]

During Elon's press conference in the oval office his son had some choice words for Donald Trump.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

To recap, Trump:

-Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence
-Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers
-Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee
-Blamed the DCA crash on DEI

This is disastrous leadership.

[Dr. Angela Rasmussen @angie_rasmussen]

Despite being credentialed physicians, none of these men have any actual experience with virology, vaccinology, outbreak epidemiology, or basic ethics. They have all shown outright hostility to evidence-based public health and they are all profiting from their contrarian stances.

[Dr. Angela Rasmussen @angie_rasmussen]

And then there's the CMS Director, a glorified snake oil salesman and failed Senate candidate, who stopped talking about vaccines the second he realized he could make more money selling vitamin D or whatever on social media.

[Dr. Angela Rasmussen @angie_rasmussen]

The NIH Director is also a medical contrarian who authored the Great Barrington Declaration, has made a small fortune off promoting mass infection policies, denigrating vaccines, and spreading conspiracy theories about ivermectin & vaccines. He also really hates virology research

[Dr. Angela Rasmussen @angie_rasmussen]

The FDA Commissioner is a medical contrarian who previously advised an anti-virology activist group and famously predicted (with almost comical inaccuracy) that we'd have herd immunity to COVID and pandemic over by April 2021.

[Dr. Angela Rasmussen @angie_rasmussen]

The CDC Director is an anti-vaxxer who has appeared in Del Bigtree (big time anti-vax media mogul) documentaries with Andrew Wakefield.

[Dr. Angela Rasmussen @angie_rasmussen]

Why? Because not only is RFK Jr a predatory grifter who is an enemy of public health, so are all his deputies. They are being vetted by an anti-vax lawyer, presumably for compliance with Kennedy's outrageous and deadly opposition to lifesaving vaccines & public health measures

[Dr. Angela Rasmussen @angie_rasmussen]

I had a conversation with @HelenBranswell about this a while ago that I haven't been able to stop thinking about. If this does go human to human, it will happen FAST. Days to go from "low risk to the general public" to "it's a pandemic."

Speed is essential to containment.

[Dr. Angela Rasmussen @angie_rasmussen]

Out today in @ForeignPolicy: I wrote about what will happen if there is an H5N1 pandemic with Robert F Kennedy, Jr. in charge of safeguarding the health of Americans.

If RFK Jr is leading HHS & H5N1 begins spreading human to human, the deaths will be counted in millions.🧵👇

[Martin Heinrich @SenatorHeinrich]

Exactly one week ago.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

all I know is that had President Biden forced out the FAA chief under pressure from his top adviser and his corrupt motives, and then the next week there was a plane crash that killed more than 60 people, Republicans would be howling that it was an impeachable offense.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

REPORTER: Is there an acting FAA director?

DUFFY: *walks away*

(The FAA director resigned on the day of Trump's inauguration under pressure from Elon Musk)

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

My heart goes out to those who lost loved ones in the tragic airplane-helicopter crash over the Potomac last night.

Suddenly, someone held so dear is gone.

That’s devastating and, for the families and friends of those who perished, beyond conspiracy theories and political angles in this moment.
