While Musk probably doesn’t get it, because he’s not the brightest bulb, his tweet is EXACTLY why HR 9495 needs to be stopped. He has unwittingly shown the intent of the next administration to go after organizations like the ACLU. Dems shouldn’t make it easier by allowing HR 9495 to become law…
😂😂
yeah let’s defund something that isn’t funded.

The world’s richest 1% have more wealth than the bottom 95% put together, according to Oxfam.

There is no moral justification for this extraordinary level of inequality.

It's distorting politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.
World’s top 1% own more wealth than 95% of humanity, as “the shadow of global oligarchy hangs over UN General Assembly,” says Oxfam | Oxfam International

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.
