"That [billionaire] don’t need it. He just doesn’t want you to have it."
This guy breaks it down for the MAGAts out there embracing the "Big Beautiful Bill" that screws them without the lube.

Curious if this is a known comorbidity of his chronic decency insufficiency?

It's the least sexy threesome imaginable, all f*cking each other over.
NPR: This afternoon, Trump threatened to cancel all of Musk’s government contracts, Steve Bannon called for the deportation of Musk, and Musk said Trump is in the Epstein files and called for Trump’s impeachment. 😂🤡😂 One has all our private data and the other has the nuclear launch codes. AYFKM?

A reminder that Trump and the GOP Congress do not expect the tariffs to actually be successful. They need exist only to *claim* they are successful. That trillions of dollars were collected, and now the wealthy can have budget-neutral tax cuts.

“I don’t get cute with this shit.”
Sen. Ruben Gallego tells me his NO on the House funding bill means he will also vote NO to advance it procedurally.
“Yeah, I don’t get cute with this shit.”

There is a vacancy for leadership in the Democratic Party.
It's a brand new ball game. Forget the old rules and customs. No one "deserves" anything due to age and seniority and donors.
It's up for grabs, Democrats. Time to step up. Whoever is a fighter will be rewarded.

I hate that this intra-party conflict is necessary, but I very much appreciate that it needs to happen.
AOC: I think there is a deep sense of outrage and betrayal… just to see some senate Democrats even consider acquiescing to Elon Musk. I think it is a huge slap in the face.

I find this behavior reprehensible and the antisemitism intolerable. He should be shunned until he makes a full apology and honest amends, but ... not deported.

I'd be surprised if it hasn't been considered from the White House ... an EO that the stock market can only go up under this Administration.

Raydio's 1979 hit "Can't Change That." Cute song...
Except ... The woman has tried changing her hair color, her phone number, and her address to get away. Dude, she's trying to *escape.*

Tesla once appeared the future of vehicles. Then Musk’s salutes and support at Trump’s inauguration left owners feeling ‘saddled with a symbol of hate’

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

I can't quite tell ... either they're going to use the "Ukraine doesn't have elections" to justify supporting Russia's disposition of Zelensky the Dictator, or ... they're going to use it to justify suspending elections here as well.
here's today's post: "elderly golfer blasts Ukraine for invading itself" — is Donny demented, or evil? trick question, it’s both.

Don't judge! We must woo this voter during the next election phase, as nothing that's happening now is in any way their fault. Keep a mind so open your brain might fall out!
