@apnews.com this doesn't read like "independent fact-based journalism," friends. report this for what it IS and stop normalizing this political coup.
this is the sort of thing people like aaron and myself see all the time and we understand the msm is sanewashing him, as the great @parkermolloy.com noted, when they clean all this up and present him like he's a normal boy.
for example, look at the ap report and compare it to the absolute shit

Thank you, @pocan.house.gov I don't know why this Nazi has contracts in the first place.
BREAKING: Rep. Mark Pocan has introduced the ELON MUSK act which would ban "special" government employees like Musk from having federal contracts.
The full title of the bill is the Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy Act.

"DOGE" (otherwise known as 'dog shit') is NOT A THING. Elon made it up. It was not authorized by Congress. It is not legal. He has no authority, and he is robbing people of their info and money. IT IS NOT REAL. Do not treat it as such. It's theft.
NEW: DOGE has requested and is being granted “access to all SBA systems,” per an email sent to Small Business Admin employees today. Edward Coristine, a DOGE official, held a call with SBA staff detailing level of access they wanted, including HR, contract and payment systems

Bravo to Sen. Alsobrooks for her question.
“We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule as Whites because their immune system is better than ours.” — RFK Jr
This is the deadlier version of the racist myth that Black people feel less pain, leading to denied pain meds.

It’s interesting the conversation is about how Democrats should abandon trans people, and not how they should abandon billionaires. 🤔

"And we cannot indulge our anxieties about whether this country will elect someone like Kamala instead of doing everything we can to get someone like Kamala elected." this is my favorite response to misogynist handwringing ever.

Most Americans want to electrify their homes — if they can keep their gas stoves
A poll finds less than one-third of Americans want a fully electric home. It jumps to 60 percent if people can continue cooking with gas.

I accept the fact that prospecting via text is inescapable, but do we really need a novel + photo every time? Does anyone read them, or do we all assume “Hi, I’m a Democrat, send money” is the gist?
