There is absolutely no doubt that Elon Musk is a Nazi and an anti-semite -- and he is the President-elect of the United States. This is beyond concerning.

I beg you to re-post this so that every single American is aware of the fact that Musk is a Nazi and that his colleagues are, too.

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.

Over the Navy's objections, Trump pardoned a Navy Seal of war crimes. His colleagues called him "freaking evil". Throw that back in their faces.

When addressing MAGA Republican concerns about the Hunter Biden pardon, the correct answer is "because fuck you, that's why"

It's probably not a good day to remind people that Trump's son in law walked away from his White House gig with $2 billion from the Saudis.

I'll wait until you're finished being mad at Joe pardoning Hunter for being his son.

Tammy Duckworth: "It's frankly an insult and really troubling that Mr. Trump would nominate someone who has admitted he paid off a victim who has claimed rape allegations against him. This is not the kind of person you want to lead the Department of Defense."

Meiselas: Those Republicans were sure ready to cover up child sex trafficking. They were rushing to cover it up. They were blaming the media for it. And one of the things Trump did during this awful transition was basically expose the entire Republican Party as being a pro-sex trafficking party.

Sarah McBride: "It is an attempt to distract ... Every single time we hear them say the word 'trans,' look what they're doing with their right hand. Look at what they're doing to pick the pocket of American workers, to fleece seniors by privatizing Social Security and Medicare."

Don’t let GOP sell you on their hate, lies, & vicious attacks on the LGBTQIA+ community!

The fabricated issue of who can use restrooms and play sports, is just a way to discriminate based on gender identity, similar to how drinking fountains & restrooms were used to segregate based on race!

1/After Trump claimed he didn't know anything about Project 2025, I wrote several columns for my newsletter, Civil Discourse, documenting that wasn't true.

Any time you see someone saying they like X better than here, you have to ask yourself why they would rather hang out in a place where words like BlueSky and cisgender are banned, but calling someone the n-word isn't.

AG nom Pam Bondi...

-Didn't investigate Trump University for fraud as Florida AG after receiving a $25k donation from a Trump nonprofit

-Served as lobbyist for massive corporations

-Was part of Trump's impeachment defense team

She's a walking, talking conflict of interest.
