Poor Elon was so upset about losing the Russian bot farms that he had to interfere with Starlink to try and hinder Zelensky's drone attack last night.. Poor, poor Elon. All of his interferences in worldwide elections are now at risk. Elon. Musk. Is. A. War. Criminal. 😎✨

Laugh at Eric Schmitt and Co. for Hawkeyes/Hawks, sure. Their screw up is funny and they deserve the mockery. But also, this was the GOP and allied media geared up to defend a coup attempt with lies and jail a prosecutor because he tried to enforce the law against a criminal. How far we've fallen.

It’s really great that Eric Schmitt wasted everyone’s time because he can’t tell the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes, meanwhile people in Missouri are struggling to pay for utilities, gas, groceries, housing, and child care.

David Ellison is considering recruiting Elon Musk to invest in Paramount-Warner Bros. once the merger goes through. Hello? We’ve already seen how Elon turned Twitter into a cesspool of right-wing, outright racist content. Billionaires controlling our media is bad for everyone but the billionaires.

Cost of extending ACA subsidies: $30 billion/year Cost of Trump's Iran War: $43 billion in roughly seven months (and that's a low estimate) It's not a question of what we can afford. It's a question of priorities.

The horror has come to our city: ICE has shot a person in Austin this morning. As the facts emerge, I am demanding a full, independent investigation, immediate release of the body camera footage, and accountability for any ICE officer who broke the law.

Jon Husted’s Ohio Senate campaign just fired its political director after WaPo revealed he participated in this batallion that’s a replica of Hitler’s personal guard & used Nazi soldiers as his profile pic. This is grotesque—Republicans need to explain why Nazis keep finding a home in their ranks.

When Donald knew there was no real threat to his life, he preened for photographers, yelled “Fight, fight, fight!” and didn’t care if a fireman died. When Donald knew there was a real threat to his life, he hid in a catering truck and didn’t care if his staff died in the decoy plane.

The Pentagon influencer scandal keeps getting bigger. More partisan online personalities. More government jobs. More taxpayer money. Who hired them, what are they being paid to do, and are military officers violating the UCMJ? This deserves answers.
