Elon Musk just became the world’s first trillionaire today. Now his company SpaceX is poised to take 715 acres from a national wildlife refuge in Texas.

Attention California Democratic Camdidates - DO NOT hand over the keys to the world's fifth largest economy to a MAGA Republican by fracturing the vote in June. We need to be removing power from this mad wanna-be king, not giving him more.
Truth Social post by Trump this morning 

Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP

that the president is making unhinged threats of war crimes on easter sunday should be an immediate presidency-ending scandal and that the media is rewriting this as just a normal negotiating tactic should be a career-ending scandal for everyone involved

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

Whether it's a Hillary Clinton staffer asking John Podesta how to make risotto or Elon Musk asking Jeffrey Epstein where he could find a party featuring child sex slaves, there's plenty of embarrassing emails on both sides.

The “Melania” documentary receives 7% Rotten Tomatoes score. USA Today gives it 1 1/2 stars. OTHER REVIEWS Brutal disconnect Orchestrated and airbrushed Shameless infomercial Insipid propaganda Ultimately lackluster My opinion: Trump embarrassed her for nefarious reasons.

There’s little training, a violent slave-catcher culture, and aggressive tactics baked into the mission. This isn’t a “protocol breach.” It’s Trump’s immigration enforcement machine at full throttle. 2/2

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea. It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road. Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

A reminder that Liam Ramos, the son of legal residents in Minnesota, is still being held in a Texas prison. A five year old little boy - and America’s global reputation - now scarred for life. (📸 Ali Daniel’s/AP)
Little Liam Ramos stood facing an ICE vehicle with his cartoon blue wooly hat. A state-sponsored terrorist ICE agent is holding him by his rucksack.

Screenshot of an X.com post by Climate Defiance (@ClimateDefiance) reading, “Patricia and Mark McCloskey brought weapons to a protest. They were honored as keynote speakers at the 2020 RNC.” Below is a photo of a man holding a rifle and a woman aiming a handgun, standing outside near a light-colored building.

Ellison: "We have the right as a state, as a co-sovereign, to do our own business with our own tax money. What the federal govt has said is, 'if you don't do it our way, we're gonna saturate your state with 4,000 ICE agents until you cry uncle and obey us.' That's unconstitutional and illegal."

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...
This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

Shut ICE down, remove the leadership, break DHS apart, and investigate their crimes.
Screenshot of an X post by “Read Raising Expectation…” saying “You don’t reform the Gestapo, you abolish them and try them for their crimes.” Embedded is a quoted post from “Home of the Brave” stating that ICE Associate Director Marcos Charles says individuals ICE agents encounter near a “target” are “fair game” for interrogation. At the bottom is a TV interview still showing a man seated, with “60 MINUTES” text on screen.
