The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice.

The result is demagoguery and corruption.

This remains the most effective and intelligent quote about Elon Musk I have yet to see.

Never in our history has a private citizen or foreign influence had more direct access to all of our most sensitive information than right now. And there are US senators and congressmen openly applauding this.

We are watching high treason be committed right in front of our eyes.

Many of the White House candidates for high level positions in the Federal government come across as badly qualified for the jobs they are seeking.

If they all happened to be Black, I wonder if they’d instead be rejected as incompetent DEI hires?

This information is from a story in Wired.

Here are the names of the young engineers who Musk has hacking into the US financial systems they shouldn’t be in.

None have security clearances - Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran.

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment.

One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

A cult is a place where people believe that there is absolutely nothing wrong with their beliefs, ideas and actions.

Given how inherently fallible and error-prone every single human being actually is, you should immediately see the problem.
