I am so sickened by the complete and unadulterated racism that is taking place in this country, precipitated by one man who not only accepts it but also encourages it. Fight hatred. Make your voice heard!

Did Trump Quietly Kill a Sensitive Pentagon Probe into Elon Musk? The New York Times revealed last year that Musk and SpaceX failed to meet federal reporting requirements for Pentagon contractors. No one has asked: What’s going on with that today?

When Musk talks about destroying the β€œdeep state,” what he really means (among other things) is that he hopes to destroy any and all mechanisms of transparency and accountability that might restrain him.

But the #Mizzou QB played because he wanted to. He knows he’s β€œnot going to get a lot of these opportunities back. Once in a lifetime deal,” as he put it.
