How are we supposed to give a flying fuck that Elon is a trillionaire when the guy literally used his power to END programs that fed the poorest people on Earth?

Fuck that selfish asshole, and fuck his trillion dollars helping nobody but his damn self.

BREAKING: NYT Confirms Trump Is Supervising Kennedy Center Tarp Removal As His Agents Appear to Be Indicating It May Stay Up Indefinitely—Effectively Taking *Kennedy's* Name Off the Center As Well As Trump's in One of the Most Petty and Vindictive Acts Ever Taken By Any President

If you want to measure the impact of a European leader, look at how much energy foreign adversaries spend trying to destroy their reputation.

The constant stream of pro-Russian and pro-China propaganda aimed at @kajakallas proves she is a formidable opponent to them, and while the exact powers of the EU High Representative position can potentially be reformed, Kallas has the ideal mindset to confront hostile autocrats.

European capitals have every right to analyze and potentially adjust the bureaucratic mandate of the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. Rethinking how the bloc coordinates its external actions is a standard part of institutional evolution, but any systemic flaws in the office cannot be blamed on Kallas.

The concentrated hostility directed at her from state media ecosystems in Russia and China (and some other enemies too) is an involuntary admission that her strategic clarity poses a major problem for them. Their fixation on Kallas confirms her status as a high-stakes obstacle.

She has a profound understanding of the psychological games autocrats play, and she refuses to grant them the passive diplomatic concessions they crave. Her clear, unyielding communication style helps insulate the European Union from the gaslighting tactics that hostile regimes use to manipulate Western policy.

The narrative attacks against her should therefore be viewed as validation of her approach. Discussions about reforming European diplomacy are healthy, but Kallas herself is not the issue, as her defiant attitude is exactly what is needed to face down modern authoritarian threats

BREAKING: An Economics Professor Just Made A Pretty Stunning Argument About Elon Musk.

According to the professor, Musk spent roughly $250 million during the 2024 election cycle.

He claims that's just 0.025% of Musk's wealth.

In other words, the amount spent was so small relative to Musk's fortune that he could theoretically spend the same amount thousands of times over.

That's a democracy question, not just a money question.

I’m glad to see the Senate, once again, shut down Mike Lee’s insane ideas for our public lands. It’s time for the House to do the same.

The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Plan was created through years of work, public comment, and Tribal consultation. We must uphold this collaborative effort to protect the Colorado Tribe’s irreplaceable cultural resources and history.

Israel flattened Beirut in 1982.

No Hamas. No Hezbollah. No October 7 to point to then.

Just 17,000 dead Lebanese and Palestinian civilians.

Even US president then Ronald Reagan, who armed Israel, called Begin furious after seeing a photo of a 7-month-old baby with its arms blown off and said “It is a holocaust”.

They killed so many innocent people that the survivors had no choice but to pick up weapons.

Then Israel had the audacity to keep using “Self-Defense” excuse every decade.

Israel didn’t stumble into endless war. Israel built it. Brick by brick.

Own it.

@Mollyploofkins @DeanBaker13 Trump also said all this trash was in the reflecting pool. Thanks @JamesTate121 for setting him straight.

Unfortunately for the MAGA Reflecting Pool zealot apologists, it’s OUTSIDE.

Birds fly by, dropping turds that then generate algae (as done for a few million years) and painting the reflecting pool like it’s Uncle Bob’s cabin pool in the Ozarks is not the obviously correct way to do it.

Just sold a copy of the Iliad to a 10 year old who wants to try Homer. She's read 5 Percy Jackson books and wants "the originals" now. Kudos to her and to her mom who brought her down to the bookshop.

These men are such money grubbers and they can’t take it with them when they’re gone,but then there’s amazing women like Mackenzie Scott who just donated $70 million for Meals on Wheels!

The U.S. funded bio labs in Ukraine were for the disposal of Soviet-era biological weapons but the MAGAs are far too stupid to understand that.

📸 President Biden just left Mass at St. Joseph on the Brandywine.

Whether he was President of the United States or fighting stage 4 cancer, Biden has always shown up for Mass because his faith is real and he actually lives it.

Meanwhile, “Christian conservatives” overwhelmingly backed a three-times-married adulterer who cheated on his pregnant wife with a porn star and was found liable for sexual abuse.

It was never about faith.

It was always about power.

Here's what you need to know about DOJ's approval of the Paramount deal:

David Ellison gets what he wants -- control over a vast entertainment empire.

Donald Trump gets what he wants -- a neutered CBS and CNN.

Fight back by supporting independent media. https://t.co/bZLgVCQ4Xq
