I blame Trump for the Charlie Kirk shooting. He promotes the violence thinking only his political enemies will suffer.

As of today, Elon Musk is thought to be responsible for the death of 300,000 adults and kids due to the illegal closure of USAID (source: www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...)
That's a 103 deaths per hour, each day. And it will get worse.
His legacy is one of death, destruction, and failure.

Stop falling for the media's claims Elon Musk is no longer working with the Trump administration. His loyalists are still deeply embedded in every government agency.

The way big media rallied around Tapper.. like they rallied around Sarah Huckabee.. how they don’t call out Karoline, how they capitulated to Bezos, Trump, LA Times owner & Fox..
Reminds us that they are a mean girl/mean boy clique of the worst high school stereotype.

At this point, online progressives are *actively rejecting* information that doesn't confirm their priors.
This will not actually lead us to a Glorious Progressive Future. It's actually how movements die.

SCOOP: Two Democratic aides and a lawmaker told @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has discouraged further member excursions to El Salvador
But while Jeffries may be publicly agnostic on El Salvador trips like the one Reps.
Robert Garcia, Yassamin Ansari, Maxwell Frost, and Maxine Dexter recently took, privately he sees the trips as having run their course. Two Democratic aides and a lawmaker who spoke to The Bulwark said that the minority leader has discouraged further excursions to the country even as pressure mounts within the party to turn up the heat on Trump for sending 238 men to a notorious prison system known for human rights abuses.
"They want to let the El Salvador stuff slow down," a senior House staffer said](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mmtjkssv6jeneahkgfdxuy7p/bafkreie3wm5hqktmamxnzezji6homxbilq4huyvl3wtm34yt2mpq4eexuu@jpeg)

All of us (me too) have to understand that Axios and Politico are for all intents and purposes Trump state media outlets and anything that they report about internal politics within the Democratic Party is more likely than not being reported in bad faith.
The literal only source on this is a single Axios reporter. No video, no context, no details about what the specific question was, just....this.
Not the first time Axios has done this, really.
