Here we find Musk violating every precept of media literacy to spread racist disinformation.
Anonymous author; unsourced data; and data which—even if it's real, which we can't know because we can't source it—is precisely the sort of single-variable data neo-Nazis use, not criminal justice experts.

Trump's pick to run the FBI wants to target Trump's critics. Forget about whether he *can*—the fact that he publicly stated he wants to, and that this didn't immediately disqualify him from getting anywhere near the government's top law enforcement agency, is a sign of our democracy's deterioration.

It is worth noting that Matt Gaetz pulled out of AG consideration, not because fellow Republicans told him they couldn't support someone who raped and gave drugs to underage girls, but because CNN told him that more accusations were forthcoming.
