Suggestion to Americans: If you used a current bank account with funds on a recent tax return, it may be wise to contact your bank and request a change. Account and routing numbers are accessible, and Elon Musk’s staff have access to this information. Stay safe and protect your assets.

Exciting news! We’re thrilled to announce that tapir Yuna gave birth to a rare and endangered Malayan tapir calf Sunday night. The newborn, covered in distinctive white spots and stripes resembling a fuzzy walking watermelon, is only the second tapir born in our 120-year history.

Here’s your friendly reminder to plow through the labyrinth of menus in Microsoft Word to turn off all “connected experiences”. That’s their euphemism for scraping every letter you write to train their AI.

Here’s how you do it. 🧵

Here's an idea for the Democrats: Have a victim or two of Assad's torture chambers testify at Tulsi Gabbard's confirmation hearing.
Watching the people who were tortured by Assad…. And my anger for @TulsiGabbard defending him grows hotter.

Every senator that votes yes on her is complicit

SC wake up. The people you elected are taking more rights away from your wives, daughters and granddaughters. It’s time to show up, speak up, and fight against banning all women’s reproductive rights. #scpol #Demcast

There are so many good people in this country that I'd like to think that the people here would never let atrocities like what happened in World War 2 occur in the United States.

But then a majority of Americans support the mass deportations including 25% of Democrats (Scripps News/Ipsos poll).
