This serves as advertisement for Alex Gibney’s documentary, Musk, opening October 9. Pass it on.

The Major Social Media Platforms Are All Rejecting Paid Ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ (Exclusive)
YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

60 Posts in 10 Hours: How Trump’s Social Media Reflects His Version of Reality
With an assist from A.I., President Trump offers a window into how he wants to be seen — and, critics say, a barometer of his mental state.

Laura Loomer actually calls Trump and gets qualified people fired, but all the MSM can talk about is Hasan Piker. I hope other Democrats will show the same disdain for their questions as Raskin.

Guardian: For the Times, “unity" is a stand-in for the powers-that-be in the Democratic party and “their preferred strategy of running moderate campaigns that won’t offend aging incumbents, never-Trump Republicans, and the multimillionaire-and-up donor class." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Why does the New York Times keep calling the left ‘divisive’?
The newspaper often uses the word to describe elections with progressive contenders, implying a previous whole destroyed by the left

As Democrats we MUST unite between now and Nov 3 in order to win midterms. BUT This action by Hakeem Jeffries fuels the fires that divide the party. No idea why he would do this so close to midterm?! There was zero need for it in terms of winning in 2026.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M of our tax money, to detain 4k people of whom only 30 were accused of violent crimes, plus another 530 with minor traffic violations. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Plus two civilian deaths. Trump is REALLY BAD at this.
