Democrats eye a villain-to-ally arc for Elon Musk The messy public breakup between two MAGA heavyweights makes some Dems wonder if there's a role for them to play.

Yeah no, let's not.

I don't have anything against Mikie Sherrill and would certainly vote for her if she was the nominee. But I do think she's neither the most electable candidate, nor the one whose platform aligns the most with my views. And in general, I agree that ranked-choice voting is a great thing.

Yup… those of us paying attention saw this coming.

Musk is probably right that Trump is in the Epstein files, and that Trump wouldn't have won the election without Musk's help. He's still a creep though. The fallout was inevitable and I'll be here with my popcorn.

I'll definitely be watching them with more regularity now. I'm sure many people will stick with the comfortable routine of watching one or both of those shows in the 7 PM hour though. Plus some will want to know who the J! champ is and/or find out about viral moments ASAP.

Mike Richards has a right-wing media gig while you are laid off... just another reason we're in the darkest timeline. I do hope you land back on your feet though!

Sorry to hear this, especially coming after Mike Richards' new gig. I'm sure that creep Vanna Nissan will be over the moon about this though.

Tesla owners are trading in their EVs at record levels, Edmunds says Data from Edmunds shows that Tesla owners have been trading in their vehicles at record levels since CEO Elon Musk joined Trump's White House.

Excellent!! 👏🏾👏🏾

Removing anti-segregation clauses, abolishing the Department of Education... are there still fence-sitters who think he won't be "that bad" or that we would have been equally screwed either way? No way Biden or Harris would have done anything remotely comparable to this.

andy kim newsletter: The chaos that we see — it doesn't have to be this way. Right now, we have a majority of the Senate and the House that are both led by the Republicans who have shown, so far, no willingness to stand up for the Constitution. The American people need to see that, and we need to fight back. As we're discovering the things that Republicans are aiming to cut in the coming days, people are rightfully furious. Things like Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security are all on the cutting board, while Republicans aim to give major tax cuts to billionaires and their ultra-wealthy allies. I was elected to work for the people of New Jersey, and that's exactly what I aim to do amid the budget talks. Republicans are going to try to figure out how they move forward, and they have, for the last two years, needed Democratic votes for every single continuing resolution. They should not count on that this time. Donald Trump is simply trying to dismantle the government and make things worse for everyday people. I'll be taking every action I can to hold them accountable and use the leverage that we have to ensure New Jerseyans aren't given a bad deal. We are on the cusp of a constitutional crisis, seeing this administration taking steps that are clearly illegal, and until we see a change in that behavior, we should not allow and condone that, nor should we assist in that. That's not what the people of New Jersey elected me to do. More soon, Andy

most pugnacious email i've gotten from my representatives yet, they're feeling the heat

Stop asking autistic people why we are so tired

There is no LGB without the T.

Give us up, they will come for you next.

They no longer seem concerned about rising egg prices. What happened?

What a horse’s ass

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

This is a hostile takeover of the U.S. Government.

FBI agents who worked on January 6 and Trump investigations are expected to be fired Friday | CNN Politics The Trump administration is set to expand a purge of career law enforcement officials, with dozens of FBI agents who investigated January 6, 2021, US Capitol attack and Trump-related investigations as...

The end of democracy is one step closer. Tяump will fire ALL FBI agents for simply doing their jobs investigating the J6 Capitol Riot.

A DEI hire is someone who is qualified to do the job they are in, who simply was not prevented from getting that job for reasons not related to the job, such as race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, etc. DEI means OPPORTUNITY, not preferential treatment and not lower standards.

At least as far as mainstream media is concerned.

Journalism is truly dying.

I’m proud to call the amazing cartoonist Ed Wexler a friend.
