Should add that while RFK Jr. is talking about how autism destroys families, the Trump administration sent Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the father of an #ActuallyAutistic child to El Salvador and says without evidence that he's a member of MS-13.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in February telling reporters he has the power to conduct drone strikes on suspected "terrorists" instead of the president.
I'm the only reporter to cover this and have been reporting on how this and US military posture toward Mexico is dangerous.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

JD Vance tells Americans they are going to have to “deal” with inflation.
What about families who can’t afford to “deal” with it because they are already oppressed by the system that prefers people who look like Vance?
And does JD have to “deal” with it???

Incredible. I also wonder why Mr. Cruz and Mrs. Haley changed their first names to Ted and Nikki.

In 2024, four women held four-star ranks in the military — the highest levels of the armed forces. Only 10 women have held the highest rank in their military branches in history. Now, there are none.
Of the four women, two of them retired and two were ousted. bit.ly/4i1EWUO

When and how are we going to make this stop?
Trump’s Commerce Secretary told people to buy Tesla stock last night.
The White House announced that it will use Starlink internet earlier this week.
And Trump held a Tesla showcase at the White House last week.
The robber barons of the first Gilded Age would be jealous.

"If Lutnick's Democratic predecessor, Gina Raimondo, took such a step -- urging Americans to buy stock in a company led by Joe Biden’s top campaign contributor -- it seems likely that more than a few congressional Republicans would call for her resignation..."

Why is Trump’s Commerce secretary urging the public to buy Tesla stock?
Howard Lutnick told a national television audience to buy a specific stock tied to the sitting president’s top campaign donor.

Good point to also pay attention to the minor things being done which no news is covering.
So Musk's law firm not only drafting proposed Delaware law but also even drafting messaging to the press etc. for the governor? From CNBC's FOIA dump in @lorak.bsky.social article today. It's like a season of The Wire. Sheeeeeeeeet. fm.cnbc.com/applications...

I agree in principle but what happens when we aren't scared but just stand w/a sign? Dems aren't stopping his actions. When do we physically stop it before so much more damage is done? Where is our line?

Musk’s empire is collapsing—Tesla is no longer his biggest asset.
His $147B SpaceX stake just overtook Tesla’s $97.8B value as sales tank: 45% down in Europe, 49.3% in China.
63% of shoppers refuse to buy a Tesla. Investors are fleeing. Even Musk looked on the verge of tears.
