Get ready for David Ellison and Jared Kushner to mount a hostile bid for Netflix. You don't say no to daddy's widdle boys. But, they'll need more investors. Perhaps North Korea, Russia, Iran and Syria want in. 🙃

I've only been more upset than this after Jan 6 and 9/11. Today's treatment of Zelensky is embarrassing and infuriating. I'm truly ashamed of my country today. This is a clear call for Europe (and honestly the rest of the world) to stop dialogs with this Admin. We no longer act in good faith.

Do not believe that the coup at USAID is about mismanagement and spending. It is 100% a racist political dog-whistle targeting people of color in what Trump thinks are "shithole countries". This includes Musk's own homeland of South Africa, which receives almost $100 billion in aid.
