Elon Musk is now worth $845 billion. Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high. See the problem here?

NEW: Former President Obama is fully behind Virginia Democrats’ redistricting plan to counter GOP gerrymanders — and he’s urging voters to vote yes: “This amendment gives you the power to level the playing field in the midterms this fall. And voters will have the final say.” bit.ly/4l7VKg2

I prefer non-lethal distractions from the tRUMPSTEIN Files like renaming the Gulf of Mexico, making Canada the 51st state & buying Greenland. Sure it was hugely offensive to longtime friends & allies, but at least no one died.

So many of us warned that Donald Trump is a dangerous, reckless pathological liar who can’t be trusted except to take actions that enrich himself and save his own skin. This war will not distract us from demanding he be held accountable for his Epstein involvement & violations of our Constitution.

For the first time ever, Team USA finished a solo 2nd place in both gold medals and total medals at the Winter Olympics. It's the best we've ever done. And U.S. women carried Team USA on their backs: 67% of gold medals, 61% of total medals. Thanks, Title IX!

Howard Lutnick continued his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein even AFTER Epstein was convicted of sex trafficking minors. Then, Lutnick lied about it. Why is he still in our government? He should be held accountable.

Aside from what Roberts says, which is true, this “reckoning” talk loses the plot. Among Dem voters, any reckoning won’t be over Biden’s health, but over his style of governing — which focused on policy and economics over MAGA’s subversion of the rule of law. His presidency’s mortal flaw was there.

My New One at @slate.com on the 50th Anniversary of the Buckley v. Valeo Decision: “One Supreme Court Case Is Most Responsible for Our Oligarchy. It’s Not the One You Think.” slate.com/news-and-pol...
The Buckley court was right that threats to free speech and association, and the dangers of incumbency-protecting laws, mean that courts should closely scrutinize campaign money laws. But that should not doom all attempts to level the playing field or limit the risk of corruption from nine-figure campaign contributions, mostly to ostensibly independent groups. If Congress passed a law with generous contribution and spending limits, and strong disclosure rules, we could have ample breathing room for vigorous and competitive campaigns without the danger of the wealthy swamping our democracy.

Because Buckley was a constitutional decision, there are only two paths to overturn it. One is to get a court majority to rethink the case’s fundamental mistakes. With the current makeup of the court, that seems unlikely. An even harder road is to amend the Constitution to allow for a better balance between the rights of free speech and the risks of corruption and oligarchy.

We should not give up the struggle over our money-in-politics rules. But we must recognize that there will be fierce resistance from the moneyed interests who benefit from a system giving them outsize influence over who is elected and what politicians do once they are in office.

A real democracy deserves better than Buckley.
