A Mexican environmental group says burned dolphins and turtles are washing up after SpaceX launches.

Fishermen who already pay cartels to work are being pushed farther out, and some have been arrested in U.S. waters.

@yvirgin of @KABBFOX29 on the ripple effects of Starbase along the border: "It's a whole domino effect."

Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney, director of a 2026 documentary about Elon Musk, tells @chucktodd that @elonmusk has already threatened to sue him.

@alexgibneyfilm: “So am I worried that people won't get to see this film? Yes. I'm hopeful. And we keep spreading the word about instances where it may seem that, the powers of censorship were coming down.”

EXCLUSIVE: Abdul El-Sayed tells @ChuckTodd he would go on Bill Maher’s show despite the “terrible things Bill Maher has said about people like me.”

@AbdulElSayed: “I wanna give people the image of watching him get his ass whooped on his own show by a guy who prays like I do.”

@AshleyJudd: Well, if we applied to the material and lived reality of women's existence, the 14th amendment, then maybe the First Amendment would do better. And there wouldn't have, you know, rich pornographers who torture women and call that protected speech.

Stunning work

Episode 3 is up ya’ll. Check it out!

[Matt Rivera @rivera]

@musingsusa Yes. Quite a bit on this topic, but no other interviews

[Matt Rivera @rivera]

I watched Alex Gibney's epic 4-hour documentary "Musk," which premiered at the Venice Film Festival.

My takeaways:

Ashley St. Clair offers tons of behind-the-scenes detail — including Signal chats with Elon.

She also shares a stunning claim about Election Day 2024 …

@AshleyJudd tells @chucktodd, “AI is not the problem. It’s the consciousness that’s creating it.”
Stay tuned for this week’s episode of #SundayNightwithChuckTodd, airing Sunday night @6 p.m. ET - only on the Noosphere app.

And about those four hours — the pacing is tight and the film doesn’t feel long.

(But the 10-minute intermission at the two-hour mark certainly helps.)

This isn't the hit job Musk claims. At times, it bends over backward to be fair.

But it pierces Musk's mythos, playing some stories twice to expose contradictions and posing open questions:

- What's with all the kids?
- What is he doing with all that data?
