Just saw a representative for federal workers, Chris Dols, on CNN. What a wonderful spokesperson with a powerful message. We need their service and we must support them. He nailed musk and the billionaire class for the uncaring predators they are.

Elon Musk has shared this fake E! News video on X, which claims USAID has paid millions to Hollywood celebrities to visit Ukraine.
The clip, now community noted, is the work of a well-known Russian disinformation campaign that creates fake videos of news outlets to push anti-Ukrainian narratives.

Elon Musk is so close to finally killing California high-speed rail — a goal he’s pursued for over a decade — even though his alternative the Hyperloop is an absolute joke.
Killing HSR is about keeping people trapped in cars and planes.

Trump wants to halt the high-speed rail project that would cut travel time between SF and LA from 9 hours to under 3 hours.
From the oval office here just said: "We're going to start a big investigation on that.. it wasn't even necessary, I would have said, you don't buy it. You take an airplane.”

Shutting down USAID is not about efficiency—it’s about undermining America’s global leadership. USAID counters extremism, fights diseases, and creates more markets for U.S. exports. This is reckless and dangerous.

"More Dems need to step up and say clearly that Trump's threats to prosecute enemies without cause disqualifies him from the presidency, just as his criminal convictions do."
"More Dems need to step up and say clearly that Trump's threats to prosecute enemies without cause disqualifies him from the presidency, just as his criminal convictions do."
Media is being too credulous about Trump's threats to prosecute Dems "for revenge." This implies he's just threatening to do what is being done to him. That's deception: He's vowing evidence-free prosecutions, which is *not* what's happening to him. 1/

The truth about DeSantis’ awful record on covid
Ron DeSantis is officially in the 2024 race, leaning on his partisan and polarizing approach to the Covid-19 pandemic. But, Mehdi says, his actual Covid record is nothing to brag about, and we shouldn’t let DeSantis rewrite the history of the pandemic in the Sunshine State.
