I’ve interviewed a lot of victims stayed in an abusive relationship because they worried their loved ones would judge them for not leaving sooner. They needed support and they knew they would get ridicule instead. And that’s something I’m thinking about a lot in this political environment.

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

Watch this: the Federal Trade Commission was holding Amazon, Meta, and Tesla accountable. Then: - Amazon paid $40M for Melania's documentary - Meta gave Trump $25M - Musk gave Trump hundreds of millions Now Trump is trying to illegally fire FTC commissioners. Corruption.

Some recessions start because of a financial crisis (2008). Some start because of Fed tightening (1980). Some start because of some shock in the wider world. (2020). If we get a recession in 2025, however, it will be entirely because of stupid decisions by Trump and Musk.

"Our farmers are going to have a field day right now. To our farmers, have a lot of fun." Fun isn't your family farm going out of business or your grocery prices being driven up. All because Trump sold out farmers for his friends at Mar-a-Lago.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.
