Should add that while RFK Jr. is talking about how autism destroys families, the Trump administration sent Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the father of an #ActuallyAutistic child to El Salvador and says without evidence that he's a member of MS-13.

Between 1978 and 2023, top CEO compensation shot up 1,085%.
The typical workers' compared went up just 24% .
Workers deserve more, but they're hoarding it at the top.

I can't help but think about how Elon's son on his shoulders is essentially there to dissuade someone from shooting him in the head. He bred his own helmet.
🚨 BREAKING: This is beyond outrageous. Elon Musk, his cranky mother Maye, and one of his young kids were chauffeured in Air Force One and Marine One—straight to the White House, where they’re apparently staying.
WTF is going on? It goes without saying, this is not normal. 🙄

old Soviet joke for our times:
Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to.
Guy says: “looking for an obituary.”
Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.”
Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

Rahm Emanuel opposed Howard Dean's 50-State Strategy and is the chief mastermind behind "don't talk about immigration" strategy going back over a decade, ceding the entire conversation to right-wing bigots to define.
Enjoying everyone's dunks on Rahm Emanuel but I have to note, once again, that he is still the undisputed champion of Worst Political Instincts for saying, in 2009 as White House Chief of Staff, "I don't give a fuck about judges."
Whoops! Maybe you should've cared about them, Rahm.

Rose wasn’t convicted of gambling; he was sent to jail for tax evasion. He also raped a 14-year-old. So, exactly the kind of guy Trump thinks is a hero.
President Trump said he would pardon the late Pete Rose, the baseball star who fell from grace because of his gambling.
