Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.

When Joe Biden took office, America’s allies were willing to treat the first Trump term as an aberration. That ship has sailed. The world is no longer waiting for us to come to our senses, and the trust we squandered may take a generation to rebuild if anyone still believes we are capable of it.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal and his government has committed genocide in Gaza. The United States should stop all military assistance to Israel. Saying this is not antisemitic. (I’m Jewish, by the way.)

Too big to rig? From The Dispatch newsletter:
Take one state Senate contest in a Midwestern swing district, a suburban area around a major city full of the sort of middle-class, educated, professional voters that used to be the GOP's base:
Private polling shared with me on the condition that I not reveal the specific race found that Trump's favorability rating in this district is a net minus-33 points. Multiple statewide elected Republicans are also underwater in this district, but at a margin of closer to minus-20 points.
Meanwhile, the Republican state Senate candidate, a well-known figure in the district with an identity independent of the national party, actually has a positive net favorability rating of 8 points. But the weight of Trump and the party's unpopularity is putting what should be a winnable race for the GOP in jeopardy, which is why this particular campaign is focusing its ads on keeping property taxes low, an issue entirely separate from Trump, Washington, the Iran war, high gas prices, and tariffs.
