There's a LOT of awful things one can say about Musk, but "The only thing he has ever succeeded on is buying other people's ideas and kicking out the actual innovators from his companies" is just is not true. He very much founded SpaceX, and giving Eberhard sole credit for Tesla is just dumb.

Canada is now the first non-European country to be granted a membership in SAFE. This is a gamechanger program that means Canada can rearm our Canadian Armed Forces members more effectively and scale up our defence industries with more contracts overseas.

NEW: Right-wing influencers have gone viral in recent weeks with videos claiming voter fraud in some states. But their claims are wildly inaccurate and misleading — an attempt to manufacture outrage over false narratives of widespread voter fraud.

How Disinformation is Being Used to Block and Distort Offshore Wind

Right now, we have a tax code that forces firefighters and teachers to pay a higher share of their income than many billionaires and major corporations.
We need to change that - because our economy requires it, and because it is simply the right thing to do.
