Don't let right-wing media, corporate news, and the ADL gaslight you. Elon Musk did a Nazi salute. He's simply following in the footsteps of Donald Trump by courting and rewarding racists in the base.

Good messaging. From here on out Dems need to promote the story that Trump and his billionaire cronies are stealing from Americans.
Chris Murphy: "Why is Donald Trump engaged in this relentless campaign to try to silence journalists, media companies, and his political opposition? It's because he's trying to steal from you."

This is exactly what Democrats said tariffs would do BEFORE the election, but Trump’s voters thought owning the libs was more important. They’re about to enter the four year find out phase…

David French is a former attorney for the Alliance Defending Freedom, the same organization that overturned Roe and that Mike Johnson helms from. As he once put it himself, he opposes policies that risk "indulging the troubled fantasies of a tiny, disturbed population of transgendered Americans."
What is the use of all this sympathy and heartbreak if you can't make the bare-minimum declaration that this kind of care should be left between doctors and patients rather than *banned by law*? No other field of medicine faces anywhere near this scale of legislative assault.

WaPo has 7 stories up about Hunter Biden pardon (which would include his alleged lie to Congress about business w/CEFC in 2018, when Biden was no longer VP and not yet running for POTUS), but is not interested in Trump just getting $18M free and clear WHILE POTUS-elect.

This is a very important point people don't realize. The right needs liberal spaces to Trojan horse and mainstream their lies and bad faith talking points. It's their strategy. Right wing activist Chris Rufio openly admitted it.
As the left flees and X loses broader relevance, it becomes a more overtly right-wing site, @alibreland.bsky.social writes. But the right needs liberals on X in order to push conservative perspectives into the mainstream.
