Democrats are preparing to investigate Musk if they win control of the House in November, Politico reports. Potential probes would focus on his DOGE leadership, federal job cuts, alleged data breaches, government contracts and Starlink’s role in Ukraine.

This might be the most blatant example in existence of "rich guy who created a problem attempting to place the blame for that problem on immigrants"

this guy is the co-founder of Airbnb

By my count, this is the second of 8 consecutive night games for the Mets. Eight! Baseball was meant to be played during the day. #metssky

You can't "earn" a billion dollars and none of their examples did. Michael Jordan earned $93m playing basketball. He's worth $3.5b today because of our meticulously-engineered legal, economic, and tax structures that prioritize accumulated capital and property over everything else.

The Bezos Post is essentially becoming Jeff Bezos’ personal blog to whine about people who criticize the idle rich like him. A hit dog will holler. Imagine arguing that hoarding billions of dollars is the peak of “human potential” with a straight face.

Their ads are just so fucking stupid. Every “skill” is something that people have enjoyed learning for themselves or from others for as long as that thing has existed.

On NJ Transit on the way home and the train just died. Just another day/reminder of how “the richest and most powerful nation in the world” cannot do mass transit. We can afford a war and build concentration camps, but not mass transit.

Paramount should enjoy its growing news monopoly while they have it because when Democrats win back power we are going to break up these anti-democratic information conglomerates. All of them.

Abortion was phase I, trans healthcare was phase II, birth control is phase III

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

MURRAY: You called birth control pills 'a disrespect of life.' You also claimed it has 'horrifying health risks.' But there decades of evidence showing it's safe and effective. Should women trust the FDA or you? CASEY MEANS: Are you aware of what the side effects of what hormonal contraception are?

I’m so tired of these copouts. He insulted and demeaned the women’s team. That’s why it got “political.” You should have stood up for them instead of saying “I don’t understand what the fuss is about.”

Dems condemning the ape video on X kind of illustrates how we ended up here. Using a barbaric platform to condemn barbarism to a mostly barbaric audience.

Outside the Twin Cities this morning, where it is -19F— Minnesotans are gathered early outside the Whipple Federal Building. ICE and DHS agents currently arriving at work to much disapproval.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl. Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist. They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed. Another horrific story. More details below.

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

Politicians completely underestimate the extent to which the corrupting influence of big money in politics matters to voters. If Democrats swore off big money and ran hard on anti-corruption, they could actually start winning in deep red states.

Be sure you take a moment today to remember Charlie Kirk for exactly who he was.

Jane@localnotail.bsky.social

Charlie Kirk Sept 27 2024: "Just so we're clear, the Haitians that are in Huntsville that are raping your women and hunting you down at night - it's only gonna get worse - unless Donald Trump wins There will be hundreds of thousands of Haitians brought into Alabama and they will become your masters"

Thank you! I thought I was the only person who had noticed this. Weird that we can’t get any brilliant Econ talking heads to discuss the fundamental incoherence of his policy goals!

What a classic politician move. “I missed this vote, making one portion of my constituency happy” But… “Had I been there, I would’ve voted against this bill, making another portion of my constituency happy” For the love of god do we need some dems that actually stand for something.
