Has this been just a myth that Elon Musk is a genius and we have this problem of translating or interpreting wealth to be the greatest metric of intellect or success?

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

One of the plaintiffs is a U.S. citizen working at a car wash that has been raided by Border Patrol multiple times. He gave them his ID but they demanded a passport.

Because he didn’t have one, they detained him and drove him to a different location to check his status.

Oh good! While Trump & Elon cut lifesaving research, they’re going to put our very limited federal resources towards studying the conspiracy theory that vaccines cause autism.

These people are doing less CANCER RESEARCH to waste your taxpayer dollars on total bunk.

Read this. It explains that there are 2 schools of politics - and it is our brains and our unconscious cognition that is behind it all - pro vs anti democracy. Dems, progressives need to learn this

This brings me to the toughest part: the fact that we are on our own. Institutions that assured us they would be in the fight for democracy are already backing down. People who claimed they saw Trump clearly for what he is now have voluntarily put blinders in front of their own eyes.

Former Never Trumpers—and even some Democrats—are suggesting Donald Trump deserves another chance and some optimism in his second term. @ayman.msnbc.com and his panel disagree.

For those keeping score, Trump should’ve been prosecuted by DOJ in 2017 for his crimes with Russia to become president in 2016, convicted by the Senate in Impeachment #1 for extorting Zelensky and in Impeachment #2 for trying to overturn the 2020 election, and prosecuted sooner by Garland’s DOJ.

Just read this by @ryanlcooper.com. It made me think and I did resonate with a lot of it. There are so many hot takes on why Harris lost / Trump won and 99% of them don’t resonate with me. This one (mostly) did. Recommend.

Donald Trump’s Christmas wishes are the fantasies of a senile old man.

Bro needs to go into a home already and I hope Justin Trudeau points out he didn’t win 50% of the votes and had the 4th lowest margin of victory in a long time.
