The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail.

It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children.

Vought is a mass murderer.

I keep reading how Republicans requiring voters to show passports will disenfranchise voters. But have Republicans stopped to realize that Democrats are more likely to have passports than Republicans?

"Financial bubble" isn't an "anti-AI" claim any more than "there was a dotcom bubble" is an "anti-Internet" claim. It's just questioning whether current investment into AI will produce the expected returns. It's hardly a fringe view; Bloomberg's editorial board said today it should be considered.

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

Could it be the:

a) unaffordable food, housing and healthcare

b) masked, armed ICE agents terrorizing cities

c) allegations of child rape and assault in the Epstein files

d) taking bribes, running scams, and grifting off the presidency

✅ e) all of the above

CEO said a thing!
That the NYT still writes this stuff when everyone knows that Musk is full of horseshit (including the reporters at the NYT!) is honestly shocking at this point. They think you're stupid. They know he never does anything he promises but they write it anyway. Utter trash.
Elon Musk told employees at xAI, his artificial intelligence company, on Tuesday that the company needed a factory on the moon to build A.I. satellites and a massive catapult to launch them into space.

Trump’s allies who are profiting from ICE and his mass surveillance agenda are trying to buy the midterms for Trump agenda-aligned candidates in both parties.

We can’t protect our country if the people leading it can be legally bribed.

End corporate and dark money in politics.

Mastercard, ExxonMobil, Deloitte, the UFC and other large companies are paying big money to spread Trump’s propaganda around “election integrity,” and whitewashing history, for America’s 250th.

So a Trump attorney that aided his 2020 campaign (and wrote a memo encouraging Pence to skip counting electoral votes) was given an "election integrity" job in the administration, where he made a referral to investigate Fulton County. 1/2

Reminder that these "reasonable" reforms, should they be agreed to, means the Dems will give them MORE money to continue their murderous rampage across America.

Abolish ICE.
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.

We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.

Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

It is. The Jewish Musuem in Prague has a collection of children's drawings from the Terezin ghetto. It was the worst thing I've seen in my life.
“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Again, I get the instinct here, but the deck is stacked so much against you now you're not really accomplishing anything by staying on Elon's Nazi Fun Place and CSAM Clearinghouse.
The madness of X in a nutshell:

A groyper‘s Holocaust denial post (cut off) does great numbers — 12K likes, 500K views.

A prominent liberal journalist and author comes in to try to rationally debate it. 300 likes, 25K views.

In a healthy info environment, these two things wouldn’t be interacting
