Yep. But I remember how wishy-washy you were about supporting Hillary Clinton. Women have always known this--men, like yourself, are late to the party.

I think in Hawai'i that they have Explorer's Day instead of Columbus Day, which I think solves a lot of issues--it includes other explorers--the Polynesians who really were remarkable in what they did and should be acknowledged for it, but doesn't replace European explorers. Win-win.

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.

No, no, it wouldn't.

As much as the Trump regime is about anything it, it is about the further concentration of wealth and power in this country. The smarter oligarchs know enough history to know why this is a bad idea. But a lot of them aren't actually that smart--they just think they are.

This says where people stand on the issue. It doesn't say how important it is to them. You're using apples to talk about oranges.

You call. You write. And if you're in a very red area, you register as a Republican and start primarying them. Primarying is how MAGA/tea party got power. It's time to turn the tide. If you're in a purple area, you knock on doors and make it clear what your rep. is doing. You protest.

Why aren't you trying to hold Republicans accountable?

Sigh. In my darkest most conspiracy-theory moments, I've wondered if the intent is to kill off old people since the elderly are an economic burden and don't buy as much. A dead senior is one who gets neither SSI nor Medicare. A senior with a destroyed 401K is one back in the workforce.

The lack of coverage is in line, alas, with the failure to cover Trump honestly during the election--it speaks to a profound moral cowardice. In the long term, it's foolish--Trumpism is centered around one very old man. There is no heir. The cowardice will be remembered.

Bernie's a selfish guy who loves the sound of his own voice. The Left has always had guys like him.

Actually most Democrats do not--67 percent don't. This is a big disconnect between the popular narrative and the actuality. The party leadership not hearing what its own base believes/wants is a problem. Tossing out the primary results was never going to create a groundswell of grassroots support.

No. 1 is important. Fewer people voted for Dump in 2024 than they did in 2020. Unfortunately, you can't ignore the sexism/racism issue that held back KH's support.

The world's richest man as cautionary tale.

Additional mathing--#TSLA market cap at its peak in December was $1.4 trillion. #TESLA is Musk's biggest source of wealth--he owns 12 percent of it.

For those who don't want to math, the JP Morgan target would put #TSLA market cap around $370 billion.

After I do my morning doom scrolling, I cheer myself by checking #TSLA stock. Market cap now around $746 billion. If it drops to $554 billion, Elon loses his richest man title. Let's keep it going folks. #Tesla closed at $240 today, but JP Morgan set a price target of $120.

They're trying the Chick-fil-A approach, but a lot more MAGA can afford chicken nuggets than an EV.

Here is a DOGE mailing list. Thanks to all who forwarded this to us.

There will be 51 of them. States have their own power bases and their own ability to charge.

The GOP doesn't actually like running the country. Their MO is to let the Democrats fix it, then grab as much money as they can. Rinse, repeat. Trump has no heir to his cult--when he goes, the Republicans will smell blood in the water and will start fighting for power among themselves.

I hate using Dump's name, but I'll make an exception for this. Trumpcession it is.

This is a remarkable bit of history and worth reading if you're wondering how to fight back and if it's even possible.

Waving back and forth for 39 minutes at his own rally is certainly a sign of dementia. So are his word salads.

And what makes you think he doesn't or didn't use drugs?

Don't give him ideas.

Some truly good news--renewables are getting closer to where we need them to be.

Yep, he has the mindset of a two-year-old. What's mine is mine. What's yours is mine. Same with Elon. Years of boundary settting ahead.

Suggestion to Americans: If you used a current bank account with funds on a recent tax return, it may be wise to contact your bank and request a change. Account and routing numbers are accessible, and Elon Musk’s staff have access to this information. Stay safe and protect your assets.

I really haven't seen that, but you do you. (I actually kind of associate AS with angry pep talks. He's been an optimist about elections and the Democrats when no one else was.)

What you say seems more of a reason to not follow or privately block than to put on a public block list.
