Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

Winnie-the-Pooh turns 100 today! Actually, no, he doesn't despite what publishers and Disney might tell you. Pooh originally debuted on February 13th 1924 in the British Newspaper, Punch, so it's more accurate to say he's 102. #WinnieThePooh #Pooh #Art

Trump White House misspells “United” on the official “super intelligence” document with AI executives. Instead of “President of the United States,” it reads: “President of the Unites States.” Nothing says “super intelligence” quite like misspelling the name of the country.
