Elon Musk fancies himself some kind of maverick technologist superhero. But he’s no Tony Stark. He’s PHONY Stark. He’s the one the Avengers defeat at the end of the movie.

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

Nancy Mace’s former communications director who has spoken out against her before and basically fled her office because Mace is just a horrible, awful person.
An image of two tweets from a verified account named Natalie Johnson (@nataliejohnsonn).
	1.	The first tweet reads:
“‘Protecting women’ in Congress would be introducing a bill to bar Matt Gaetz, a sexual predator with an affinity for underage girls, from ever walking those halls again, rather than dropping a messaging bill that’s sole goal is getting on TV.”
	2.	The second tweet reads:
“Tweeting 262 times about a bill that applies to like .00000001% of Congress in 36 hours is definitely about protecting women. It’s certainly not just a ploy for media attention.”

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Month is a time of joy and celebration & an opp’y to recommit to the necessary work to ensure equality and visibility for this vulnerable comm’y.

Our politics has so whipped people up into a frenzy that they can’t just walk past the Pride section in a store; instead, a needless uproar becomes the right approach, sadly causing retreat from a business’s attempt to be inclusive, support a community and see a market segment.
