A policy expert described Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s push in favor of private schools as a “great American heist,” funneling money from public schools: “It’s a strategic theft of the future of our country, our kids and our democracy.” (Published Oct. 2025)

In the same week that he became the world's first trillionaire, he spent hours on X whipping up a racist mob in Belfast, a week after doing the same in Southampton. In effect, he's sending a message to lawmakers and regulators who may want to rein in his companies.
I've reported on Musk for around 8 years. I've co-authored a book on him. I don't think folks understand the rate of his wealth accumulation. Shortly after he helped elect Donald Trump in Nov 2024, his net worth was around $350 billion. That net worth has nearly tripled in less than two years.

🧪This is a stark example of censorship. Kevin Hall was a well-known nutrition & metabolism scientist, whose work demonstrated ultra-processed foods to Type 2 diabetes & obesity. One of his findings did not align w/ MAHA. He was barred from communicating his work. He resigned in 2025.

In case you need something to believe in today (I certainly do)
1. Incredible breaking news and a landmark ruling out of Colorado. The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that hospitals MUST not capitulate to Trump, and must continue offering trans youth care under state law. They found vague federal threats "speculative." Subscribe to support our journalism.

People who confuse the brake and gas pedals shouldn't be on the road in the first place.
In 2024, an older driver killed a couple, their toddler and their baby as her vehicle sped through San Francisco. A judge has indicated that he intends to let her avoid prison, home detention and community service. But residents ask, how should a driver be punished for killing four people?

Dear France, Poland, UK and Lithuania- do it correctly, do it thoroughly, and make every single bit of it public for the world to see. The half we haven’t seen is by far the worst half. Expose it all, no matter who it hurts. Raping teenage girls deserves no mercy. #EpsteinFiles. #TrumpEpsteinCoverup

Ruben's mom, Rachel Reyes, voted for the man responsible for killing her son. She doesn't blame Trump (Actual Trump derangement syndrome), but I do! I blame him for every murder, every assault, & every child who loses a parent by DHS. #ICELawlessness Elections matter! So volunteer at mobilize.us

For all that I've been an ardent, strident Donald Trump critic, I've *also* been in the Trump-would've-won-2016-either-way camp. I am no longer. Once you understand that Jeffrey Epstein never left Trump's inner circle, and who he was connected to, your whole worldview changes.

This is a crime. If you read the Board of Peace charter, you understand it has nothing to do with the American government; it's a private entity Trump created for his own enrichment. This is an impeachable offense, and if this country were not broken he would be gone by tomorrow.
Trump: "I want to let you know that United States is going to make a contribution of $10 billion to the Board of Peace." (Congress has not appropriated this money!)
