Stop this, CNN.
Elon Musk is the *American co-president*.
Do not spend the next 4, 8, 16, or however many years before we’re allowed to have an election again pretending that the role Musk has is unclear. He paid for a co-presidency and he was given one. https://t.co/gDUcBaw5mI
"Florida’s SAT math score dropped eight points to 455 - among the lowest for the ten states that, like Florida, test more than 90% of their graduating seniors."
"The Florida Department of Education did not respond to requests for comment ... "
President Zelensky calls for the West to release the $300 billion in frozen Russian assets to allow Ukraine to purchase the weapons needed to defeat Russia's invasion.
Russia is estimated to have caused $800 billion in damages to Ukraine thus far.
We will defend our constitutional rights.
The people of our state voted to codify the right to choose into the Maryland Constitution. That right will be honored and respected in the State of Maryland.
And we will continue to stand up for the basic rights of all Marylanders.
🚨NEW: Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes vows to keep pursuing a criminal case against fake Trump electors as many prosecutors around the country drop charges against attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
RETWEET to thank Mayes for standing up for our democracy!
So the scumbag who pleaded the 5th 75 times, who was responsible for the largest Medicare fraud in American history will be made Senate Majority Leader and will oversee cutting Medicare and Medicaid.
This is going to be unwatchable.
Portugal shut down their last remaining coal fired power plant and is fostering a renewable energy revolution. They could be completely renewable by 2040 if not sooner. It can be done.
We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate#climate#energy#renewables#go100re
▪ We must end Citizens United and stop billionaires from buying elections.
▪ We must raise the $7.25 federal minimum wage to a living wage — at least $17 an hour.
▪ We must pass the Protecting the Right to Organize Act to make it easier for workers to form unions and end illegal union busting.
▪ We must protect senior citizens by increasing Social Security benefits and extending the solvency of the program by lifting the cap on taxable income.
▪ We must bring back defined benefit pension plans so that workers can retire with security.
▪ We must do what every other wealthy nation does and guarantee health care to all as a human right, beginning with the expansion of Medicare to cover home health care, dental, hearing, and vision.
▪ We must cut prescription drug prices in half, no more than is paid in other countries.
▪ We must provide guaranteed paid family and medical leave.
▪ We must guarantee equal pay for equal work.
▪ We must create fair trade policies that work for workers, not just corporate CEOs.
▪ We must build 3 million units of low income and affordable housing.
▪ We must make public colleges and universities tuition free, childcare affordable for all, and strengthen public education by paying teachers the salaries they deserve.
▪ We must adopt a progressive tax system which addresses the massive income and wealth inequality we are experiencing by demanding that the very wealthy start paying their fair share of taxes.
▪ We must save taxpayer dollars by ending the massive waste, fraud and abuse that exists in the Pentagon.
Trump says Tom Homan will join his administration.
Homan was ex-acting ICE Director during Trump's family separation policy.
More than 4600 children were forcibly — and deliberately — separated from their parents under that policy.
There are more than 1300 children still today without confirmed reunifications. @NBCNews
"It isn't hyperbole to say that fossil-fuel executives are mass murderers. We should put them on trial for crimes against humanity."
Damn right.

A man who DEFRAUDED Medicare & had the largest FINE in health care in U.S. History is going to become the Senate GOP majority leader.
I'm NOT OK with this, are you?
Last year was the hottest year ever recorded, after the hottest winter and the hottest summer. This year could break all of those again.
Response from our 'leaders'? Maintain course.
How many more records before we #ActOnClimate?
In 2017, as acting ICE Director, Tom Homan chose to spread disinfo about the California wildfires saying an undocumented immigrant had started them. He went on to attack the local Sheriff's office, while they were in the middle of dealing with responding to this natural disaster, asking them to hand over the individual to ICE. The immigrant had NOTHING to do with the wildfires. Those of us working at DHS who were actually committed to homeland security watched this with horror internally as it played out. Remember this going forward when things like this happen again.
Big Oil raked in record-breaking profits. The companies that caused the climate crisis are getting rich as they fuel the fire.
@ExxonMobil: $55.7 billion
@Shell: $39.87 billion
@Chevron: $35.5 billion
@BP_plc: $27.7 billion
Time to make the pay for the damage they've caused.
