Musk's nonprofit grows to $14bn. But, for the 4th year in a row, it gave away less than the legal minimum required for the year. 85% of its giving went to other Musk nonprofits—including a private school next to his business compound in Bastrop. The principal beneficiary of Musk's charity is Musk.

Federal agents shouldn’t be chasing, arresting, or shooting crowd control munitions at journalists or anyone else for one simple act: recording them in public.
It’s a First Amendment right, and often the only tool we have to hold powerful agencies accountable.

Reckless federal agents are the threat, not cameras • NC Newsline
When Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials swept into North Carolina, Governor Josh Stein urged people to pull out their phones and record any inappropriate behavior. It’s good advice.

The boat strikes are illegal. Dope couriers are not military combatants. So killing them with air strikes instead of arresting them is murder. It’s that simple.

It's worth noting, for those who *do* have a legitimate procedural/rule-of-law objection to illegal immigration, that Trump is not acting on that idea; he's acting on can only be called nativism and xenophobia. lnk.thebulwark.com/48vef8l

He’s not just bashing refugees and illegal immigrants. He’s going after U.S. citizens born in other countries.

OMG! Having a full blown seizure because of the cruelty of ICE. This is not ok
ICE grabs father by the neck—send him into violent seizure while his arms lock up around his toddler.
"He's having seizure and they're trying to rip the baby out of his hands!"
Agents then handcuff him—before putting in ambulance with his child.
Mother is detained by agents as target of arrest.

Example: I bought the same shredded potatoes at the grocery store this morning for $2.99 I bought just six months ago for $2.49.
That's a 21% increase. And this product is not affected by tariffs. Trump's tariffs are taxing us to death.
