@maddow.msnbc.com I'm so glad you mentioned those pro-F45 propaganda ads! I'm in metro DC, and I've seen them on my local NBC4 as well as on MSNBC. 🤢 I don't watch much tv so I'm not sure which other stations may be airing them, but I've definitely seen several of them in the last 2-3 weeks.

The US is officially the 2nd most hated country in Europe thanks to the Trump betrayal of Ukraine. Meanwhile, Musk is actively interfering in both Germany and Romania's elections by openly backing the pro-Kremlin candidates. Both nations are key to Ukraine's defense against Russia. #StandWithUkraine
In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce how the Elon Musk’s Election Interference Machine™ (EIM) works. Since Musk and his broligarch allies won the presidency for Trump, they’ve now harnessed the machine to interfere in European elections, including the ones in Germany and Romania.

This is a concerning milestone. Bringing new investigations and prosecutions is different than just dismissing cases against allies.
The top criminal prosecutor in the U.S. attorney's office in Washington quit today, citing pressure by the Trump administration to open what she viewed as an improper criminal probe of a federal contract.

With Trump declaring himself above the law and Musk calling for jailing journos, there's a big risk voters get acclimated to this kind of authoritarian talk and come to see it as normal. Another reason Dems must step up now.

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.
