Young voters really don't like Elon Musk.

His unfavorability is 54% with all voters. 67% with voters under 30.

Feels important for a party that needs to win a much bigger share of young voters.

How Americans view Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg
Just over half of U.S. adults (54%) say they have an unfavorable view of Musk, and two-thirds of Americans have an unfavorable view of Zuckerberg.

The goalposts haven’t moved. The first premise was simply a lie.
"The goalposts for DOGE have silently moved from finding fraud and corruption to simply pointing out and cancelling government programs that Trump and Republicans simply don’t support." -- @justinglawe.bsky.social
Despite the hype, DOGE hasn't found a shred of fraud
All they've really got is "spending that Elon Musk doesn't like."

Trump has chosen grifters to lead the FBI.

Kash Patel sells "K$SH" branded merch, vaccine reversal pills.

Dan Bongino's entire show is telling listeners the world is ending so they buy the dozens of survivalist products he sells.

I know this feels like a bad dream. It isn't.

It’s done.
Putin’s lifelong dream was to somehow separate the US from NATO. But how to break up a strong alliance that stood for 80 years and continued to expand? There really was only one way to do it, he figured it out a decade ago, and played the long game. Now his guy will do it.

Heads up! 🙆 There are a few things we will be covering this week in NIH news:

- Why Jay Bhattacharya will be an absolute disaster for NIH. He hates NIH and “establishment science” — and if you’ve been NIH funded, that means you.

- The ongoing destruction of NIH, esp intramural science.

Thanks for posting here Chris.

How do you think his peers and people that report to him will respond ?

And if I’m asking this wrong, please correct me, but if he makes a ridiculous decision to bring charges, which court is it appealed to if he wins the case ?

All insights welcome
This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this.

The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".

This is our sense too. Things are changing. Keep fighting, keep speaking up.
America, you broke through—the media, from small outlets to large, is finally picking up on what’s happening. Legislators, judges, and attorneys general across the country are speaking out. They hear you. We love you and are honored to serve you! 🦬💚🇺🇸
