This money is absolutely meaningless to Elon Musk, but it has the potential to completely rewrite your future. He's spent over $36 million in about 4 weeks, and he's adding millions a day. All to corrupt our government to push his agenda. Let your friends know what's up.

He brushes it off, but that only makes him more charming: Jon Ossoff has sex appeal. To judge by the thirst edits out there of him, lots of it. You can say this shouldn't matter, but it does. If he's up against JD or Rubio in 2028, it will matter a lot. www.salon.com/2026/10/05/j...

Our democracy asks Black women like Crystal Mason to believe in a system that does not always deliver for them. But what does democracy owe Black women? An institution worthy of their faith, one that feels safe, fair — and where a mistake isn’t catastrophic. My latest: 19thnews.org/2026/09/crys...
