Jen Psaki and Senator Murphy are right - Elon's criticism of the "we're all going to die" bill IS NOT because he suddenly feels bad for cutting services that working people have paid into for years. It's because his cut of the grift isn't as much as he wanted. Elon cares about himself only.

#PrideMonth
My son is 25
I never bought him a pride onsie when he was a baby.
I never read him a book that had two moms as part of the storyline.
When he was little, stores and businesses didn't have LGBTQ+ displays and we didn't celebrate pride month.
He was raised Baptist and went to church.
Guess what? He is gay.
The rainbow won't make your kids gay. They are born that way. A display in a store won't make your kid trans, they are born that way.
If you don't love and accept them for who they are, YOU are a shitty parent.

They haven't failed, you have.

Why are politicians scrambling to agree with Elon Musk on the bill? There should be clear daylight between Dems and Musk on economic policy. Yes, the bill’s an “abomination”— but he failed “spectacularly” w/DOGE. Anyone w/basic econ knowledge could see it coming. He didn’t so kick him to the curb.

The woman who shouted "people will die" at Joni Ernst, India May, is a nurse and a librarian who first got involved in politics by going to a town hall about bills aiming to defund libraries. Now she's running for state house. eu.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...
What does India May want to accomplish in the Iowa House?
May said she first got involved in Iowa politics earlier this year when she attended a town hall held by the state legislators in her area, including Thomson.

In part, May said she went to oppose a bill that would deny state funding to libraries that are members of the American Library Association and Iowa Library Association, and another that would remove an exemption in Iowa's obscenity law that shields libraries and educational institutions. Neither bill ultimately passed.

"I’m a nurse and a librarian, and I went to my first town hall this year to advocate for libraries and realized that there were a lot more pieces of legislation that were harmful on the Iowa level that I didn’t even hear about until it was too late," she said.
