To emphasize how immaterial the $445M Musk has spent on the midterms is for him, he’s lost 178x that just today!

i'll take this as confirmation of my argument that had Epstein lived he'd now be a major MAGA influencer

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

Best way to understand MAGA is as a version of the Star Trek episode "A Piece of the Action" but instead of basing their society around an old book about gangland Chicago they based it on the Epstein Files.

The thing with the billionaires is they won’t fucking leave us alone. It would be one thing if they made some product or service, fucked off, paid their bills and paid for rivers of cocaine or gold covered loincloths or whatever. But they insist society be structured around their every whim.

Crime is OK if you're a Republican billionaire.

Given that Elon is already the sole-source funder for the GOP across the US and that he throttles Twitter to harm the Democrats and help the Republicans, what else could he mean? Machine gun attacks on their homes, perhaps? Directing drones to bomb them? www.forbes.com/sites/antoni...

Seven US senators from both parties say Trump broke the law by greenlighting Russian diesel imports, pointing to a 2022 ban meant to stop American money from bankrolling Russia's war, and accusing the administration of skipping Congress entirely.

Think of what is possible in 25 days: Democrats can flip the House, win back the Senate, and end Trump’s agenda. That can only happen if you vote. Make your plan to vote on or before November 3: IWillVote.com

“The facility is designed to torture people and push them to their breaking point so that they will self-deport.” Buried deep within a DHS report was a warning about an immigrant detention center with possibly similar conditions to the infamous Alligator Alcatraz: The Baker Correctional Institution

Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"

ICE spent $2.5 billion buying detention facilities without calculating what they’ll cost to operate after 3 years. It spent nearly $3 million on unused tents at Guantanamo Bay and another $20 million on administrative costs for warehouses it’s now mostly selling. The GAO has a word for this: waste.

Why has it been so hard to get incumbent Democratic elected officials on board with court reform? SCOTUS is as responsible as the criminal in the white house for debilitating US deomcracy.

Rep. James Clyburn says he supports expanding the Supreme Court: "13 is a pretty good number. A baker's dozen would be a good number to have on the Court."
