Call Tom Kean’s office and protest that Musk associate Tom Krause is an unqualified partisan with no background in government operations or in financial markets who has been ceded enormous responsibilities to manage the Nation’s finances. TAKE BACK THE TREASURY!

Efficiency − or empire? How Elon Musk’s hostile takeover could end government as we know it Granting tech leaders direct control over government functions fundamentally alters the relationship between private power and public governance.

Rumor has it that Musk is spending $40 million on a SuperBowl add denouncing USAID as a cesspit of corruption. Get out in front of the issue by reposting this piece early and often!

@kim.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov Are you listening?

The disinformation coming out about the horrendous fires in LA is exhausting - and designed to remove any focus on the topic no Republican dare mention. Climate change.

Musk won the election.

Remember January 6!

Worsening income and wealth inequality is behind the populist rage and anger of the working class and others left behind that serve as fuel for Trumpism and authoritarian faux-populism.

Judge Denies Trump’s Bid to Throw Out Conviction Over Immunity Ruling Justice Juan M. Merchan thwarted one of several attempts by Donald J. Trump to clear his record of 34 felonies before returning to the White House.

In a world of modern-day Neville Chamberlains, be a Judge Juan Merchan www.nytimes.com/2024/12/16/n...

1. Here's the thing about Trump and that lawsuit against the Des Moines Register. All his legal actions before now have been against the giants like '60 Minutes' or ABC, which might have had journalists in the next tiers down thinking, 'They won't ever get to us.'

Urgent, super-important warning from @sulliview.bsky.social to the leaders of America's top newsrooms: Kash Patel is a break-glass moment for the future of journalism margaretsullivan.substack.com/p/my-plea-to...

Elon Musk, Hungary, and the future of MSNBC | Will Bunch Newsletter Plus, why a GOP war against college sociology courses matters.

MSNBC has its flaws, but can you imagine TV news with no liberal voices at all? If you lived through the Iraq War, 2002-3, you can...and it was bad for America

Terrorism (Leon's Version)

Stunned by “Orbital,” still absorbing its poetry about the earth circling beneath the astronauts feet, and their thoughts as they spin their 16 orbits. Beautifully written, a contemplative work, because nothing really happens! It was a great release from our current earthly travails.
