Elon is trying to argue that X is worth nearly as much as Twitter was.
Objective estimates, by contrast, have X dropping to 25% of Twitter’s previous value.
This is clearly the same sort of financial fraud that earned Trump 30+ felony convictions.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

It is better to be thought a fool and say nothing than to speak and remove all doubt- Maurice Spitzer
Posting fed his need for attention but also trapped him in a loop that accelerated his derangement and exposed his ignorance and naivete. It's crazy to have a diagram of your descent into madness

The US is scheduled to co-host the World Cup in 2026 and the Olympics in 2028. Why would thousands of international athletes and millions of fans from around the world come to a country where tourists, asylum seekers, and visa holders are being disappeared to foreign prisons?

Idiocracy looks more like a documentary every day.
The U.S. military just erased photos of the Enola Gay—the B-29 that dropped the first atomic bomb—because “gay” violates their new anti-DEI rules.
The Enola Gay was among 26,000 images flagged for removal in the Pentagon’s DEI purge. You can’t make this up.

A lot of the people in this tragic farce are unapologetic villains.
Donald Trump and Stephen Miller have been the bad guys their entire life.
But Marco Rubio is a study in spinelessness. A festival of hypocrisy. There is nothing Marco would not sacrifice to advance himself.
Pathetic.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Fun fact: nondebatable ≠ nonfilibusterable.
As far as I can tell, there’s no reason this couldn’t be done on a motion to proceed to a budget resolution or to a reconciliation bill.

It sounds like when Marge Greene threatened to release all the other ethics cases from Congress, that at least a few of them featured Chip Roy
Chip Roy dismisses the Pete Hegseth rape allegation: "We've all had some indiscretions in our past and things like that."
