When will we start calling him, Grok AI owner, Elon Musk, the richest man in the world?
Isn't that relevant, with DOGE crawling through our most sensitive digital assets?

For all their sanctimonious talk about “regular order,” House Republicans have been meeting overnight to fast track Trump’s budget — a bill still being negotiated and which hasn’t been drafted. It’s simply unprecedented to force a vote today on a plan no one has seen.

Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea?
139 years ago today, in Bay View, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7 workers (including a 13 yo) lost their lives to advance this revolutionary idea.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.
Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No

I used to select Dem primary candidates based on policy.
Now I will aggressively try to destroy any Dem who says "we need to look forward not backward" and fervently support anyone who says "I will see these motherfuckers prosecuted and jailed if it's the last thing I do."

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️
Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines.
He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

Many of our coalition members are heading out tonight to celebrate. Raise a glass to freedom, and America let’s have another round tonight. If you met coalition members today, remember one thing: the first rule of Fight Club is—you do not talk about Fight Club.

Speak up! We need all voices to keep the right to vote.
The right to vote is the FOUNDATION of all other rights. Without it, our voices are SILENCED, and our freedoms are COMPROMISED.
The SAVE Act is a DIRECT ATTACK on this foundation, putting EVERYTHING we hold dear at risk.

Cory Booker has taken the Senate floor and plans to filibuster as long as he’s physically able to protest the complete disregard for the rule of law by Trump and Musk.
