dude, you got yourself kicked out of two boarding schools, your Harvard application is rumored to have consisted of two words - "Harvard" and "Kennedy" -, your peers there say you were a dealer in college, your roommate reportedly wrote your senior thesis for you, and you failed the NY bar twice

I’m seeing people reacting by pointing out that he’s obviously wrong. I appreciate that, but it’s also a pointless exercise. The problem isn’t that he’s wrong. The problem is that this is normal in American politics — and it’s been normal for a while.

🇺🇸 🗳️ Republicans face Latino backlash ahead of midterms For nearly two years, US President Donald Trump's heavy-handed deportation drive has sowed fear in immigrant communities. Now, with midterm elections looming, many Latino voters who helped propel Trump to power in 2024 say they are fed up.

Failed to stop inflation? That’s letting Trump off the hook. Trump CAUSED price increases. His stupid war is why fuel prices are sky-high. Everything else costs more because of that.

Trump promise to bring down costs, but inflation is still outpacing paychecks. With the midterms a week away, Democrats are trying to tap into voters’ frustration in the midterms.

Musk just isn't all that bright. He knew congress was about to flip and pulled this nonsense anyway. He should have his grants pulled, his subsidies halted, Space X and Starlink should be nationalized and he should be investigated. They're all criminals And they all know it

Musk is panicking about his recent anti-Ukraine moves following bi-partisan demands to bring his business under scrutiny, and perhaps control.

Hoping that the world has remembered that fascism never actually works out for the majority of people.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Hey Yanquis! Something to look forward to! And hey, if he's in the US, surely Ruben Gallego can subpoena him in January to appear before House Oversight to answer questions on covert US admin collusion with Meta to interfere in the first round?

The BBC 10 o'clock news report two days ago led on the lies of the White House. They quoted Trump verbatim and didn't mention the Pope at all. The BBC, where journalism goes to die.

Melania taking credit for something the Pope did? I’m shocked.

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

Donald Trump was in Dalton yesterday… oblivious to the collapse of his presidency. A crowd smaller than this one endured two hours of senile babbling while the price of oil hit its five month high.

My idiot MAGAt brother tried to pull something like this on me, saying that because the country is a republic, republicans are the only legit political party. He’s from St Louis. I told him the St Louis Cardinals are baseball players, not actual birds. It’s a NAME only. Seriously, the stupidity.

LEFT: Fascist Elon Musk spreading the lie that Nazis were far-left socialists. RIGHT: Fascist Elon Musk not acting like he *really* believes the Nazis were far-left socialists.

This is why it's dangerous to give rich people so much power over our lives. Sometimes, they are appallingly ignorant. The Nazis added the word "socialist" to their name purely as propaganda to appeal more to workers. But the party--and Hitler--hated real socialists and communists.

Ukraine reported Starlink problems Friday, losing drones and limiting strikes on Russia. Thursday, Trump claimed Musk had restored service. Friday, he admitted he hadn’t even spoken to Musk.
