Earlier this year, French and EU authorities began investigating Elon Musk and X over concerns of election interference. The investigation is ongoing, and if corroborated France could seize Elon's assets and jail him.
This is now one of my top hopes for the New Year…

Smith: I think who should be accountable for this is Donald Trump. These records exist because, in the case of the senators, Donald Trump directed his co-conspirators to call these people to further delay the proceedings. He chose to do that.

I actually don’t know any dodger fans who *don’t* like the blue jays. It’s one of the main reasons the World Series was so awesome. Two great teams with individual stars who were particularly easy to root for.
And yes Ernie Clement has always been a star to those who know!

1/ Trump is becoming increasingly defensive about the release of the Epstein files. Transparency isn’t a hoax — unless it applies to Trump. DOJ is already out of compliance with the Epstein Transparency Act.

Over the past year, Trump has increased the net worth of his businesses by $3 billion. Think of how the crypto and artificial intelligence industries now dominate Congress. It is a fusion of public power and private wealth alien to the American experience.
