No one elected Elon Musk.
As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences.
We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

(🔐) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The New Questions Federal Investigators Must Ask on An Emergency Basis About Trump’s Eleventh-Hour Bond Proposal—Whose Apparent Kremlin Connections Increase By the Hour

Please read this and share it as widely as you’re able.
From this point forward, every time Fani Willis’s credibility is attacked, every time her personal life is made public, every time I hear the name Fani Willis, I’m going to simply respond with this:
Donald Trump, as President of the United States, called Georgia’s Secretary of State and pressured him to find 11,780 votes. It’s on tape. Trump said it. He’s been indicted for it. He will be put on trial for it. He should be convicted for it.
And then I’ll have a shot of tequila.
This should’ve been a much bigger news story today instead of wall-to-wall coverage of Fani Willis getting grilled about her personal business.
🚨 Special counsel David Weiss, who was appointed by Trump, and is leading the case against President Biden & Hunter Biden, now says the informant they based their entire bribery claim on, was arrested today — Alexander Smirnov is facing criminal charges in connection with lying to the FBI and creating false records.
I used to have a dog that would fart, and then he was mystified by where the sound and the smell came from, and he’d look around with a puzzled expression on his face. I think about that farting dog every time I see @TuckerCarlson.
As one of, if not the earliest and most consistently vocal of the Never Trump Generation 1 folks, I've taken a lot of shit over the years from my old GOP friends.
Trust me, there's a reason I'm not on the list for events the gentry types who still dream of recapturing the party from MAGA hold.
I will not soft pedal this. I will not tell myself or anyone else comfortable lies about the Republican party. I will not tell you there are secret words from a mystical focus group seance that will convert the Red Hat Trucknutz Cadre back to the Reagan GOP.
I have a long record of very accurately seeing ahead to what Republicans will *really* do viz Trump, as opposed to what people *dream* they'll do.
How many times have I gotten the call of "Oh, you can't attack X or Y...they're one of the good ones" only to see the "good one" bend the knee to Trump in hours or days? (Sue Collins, anyone?)
When did they stand and fight? When did they say, "I won't serve in a party that serves this monster."
Only a handful; Liz, Adam, David, Denver...and they're gone.
Not one Republican elected (correct me if I'm wrong) has come out today with both barrels blazing on Trump's latest Russia capitulation. In fact, per Marco's "What, me worry?" interview with Tapper today, they're doing the opposite.
It's not enough that they're compliant taint-sniffing Quislings. It's not enough that he's a rapist, a fraud, and slipping deeper into mental illness and sociopathy. It's they they're fine with it as long as they keep the sweaty, febrile MAGA masses happy and keep their jobs.
There are no good guys in office staying in the fight. The MAGA GOP is corrupt to the core, craven to its bones, and its utter abandonment of every shred of principle in Trump's service is a disqualifier for redemption.
Stop trying to put the paddles on the chest of this zombie party.
Lankford: I had a popular commentator that told me flat out, if you try to move a bill that solves the border crisis during this presidential year, I will do whatever I can to destroy you. Because I do not want you to solve this during the presidential election.
Biden: Donald Trump's campaign is about him. Not America. Not you. Donald Trump's campaign is obsessed with the past, not the future. He's willing to sacrifice our democracy, put himself in power.
A sad & painful 🧵1/ Let there be no doubt: the #IDF is guilty of a heinous war crime when it unjustifiably bombed my family's home in Rafah, southern #Gaza, & killed over 30 people, including 9 children. There were no armed clashes, ground troops, or verified presence of #Hamas.
Conservatives say bans on assault weapons don’t work. That is demonstrably false.
After the Assault Weapons Ban became law in the ’90s, gun massacres fell by 37%.
When it lapsed, gun massacres rose by 183%
It's time to reinstate a ban on assault weapons.
Artificial Intelligence has the potential to change the way we work, learn, and create. I'm glad to see @POTUS Biden signing an executive order on AI designed to encourage innovation while avoiding some of the biggest risks. https://t.co/GFU8KFdKgB
Speaker Mike Johnson has gone to great lengths to scrub his social media. So here with his "Teacher/Wife" Kelly is the sermon he doesn't want you to hear: "Answer for Our Times."
Thread:
Good morning. ☕️
Mike Johnson's wife runs a counseling service that compares being gay to bestiality and incest.
The new House speaker and his wife, Kelly, have long intertwined their political and business lives. https://t.co/vDyKDl5exT
For 4 long years, Donald Trump made us a laughingstock, kowtowing to authoritarians across the globe. Under President Biden, America once again leads the free world. Our allies are stronger, our enemies are weaker. President Biden is an American President
