Reading about the Rupert Murdoch family trust mess. My favorite anecdote is when Rupert’s lawyer cross-examined his son James, trying to get him to admit that his plans to make Fox News more honest would hurt its value because it’s business model was to just tell viewers what they wanted to hear. 👀

The US economy is entering recession.

Trump doesn't have a clue.

Musk: we need more positivity on the platform

Also Musk:

Price controls always sound good.

The question becomes: "who agrees to take less money".

If the CC comps don't say they are willing to make less money on interest, they will make it up in 2 ways :
Inventing other fees and charges
Cancelling/not approving the cards of anyone without good credit

Jimmy Carter was the last truly selfless president.

Rest In Peace.

Republicans control the House.

They blame Democrats when they fail.

Clowns.

The world's richest man managed to take $190 million away from a *child cancer research center* with his posts yesterday. Funding now stripped in the new bill.

Trump is suing a pollster and calling for an investigation of Liz Cheney. Don’t you dare tell me he’s not an authoritarian. And don’t you dare look the other way. Donald Trump is un-American. The resistance to him from Americans must be steadfast & fierce.

House Ethics Panel Voted to Release Matt Gaetz Report Lawmakers agreed the report would come out after the House has completed legislative business for the year and once they have left Washington to return to their districts.

BREAKING NYT confirms:

The House Ethics Committee secretly voted this month to release its investigative report into the conduct of Matt Gaetz.

The report is expected to be made public after House members cast their final votes this week and have left DC. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/18/u...

Why does someone like Piers Morgan who isn't an American and lives in the UK think he has the right to lecture us about our politics?

He should focus on his own country.

Crazy

I hope we get the hostages home ASAP and I don't care who gets credit for it.

Where was the outrage when Trump pardoned Kushner's father?

You can follow me here regardless

Would be honored.

I fully support the Hunter Biden pardon.

If he wasn't Joe Biden's son they would never have gone after him.

President Biden confirms the pardon for Hunter:

"…Hunter was singled out only because he is my son – and that is wrong. There has been an effort to break Hunter ... In trying to break Hunter, they've tried to break me – and there's no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough."

If we’re going to take on Trump, Republican extremists, and move our country forward, the Democratic Party needs to be stronger. I'm running for Chair of the Democratic National Committee to unite the party, fight everywhere, and win. Join me. 🧵

. @benwikler.bsky.social is the right choice for DNC chair.

Agreed 👍

Ben Wikler should lead the DNC. A better grassroots, pragmatic and capable candidate could hardly be imagined.

Happy thanksgiving bluesky!

How about @mcuban.bsky.social ?

Senator Schumer on the Staten Island Ferry, June 28, 2023.

Blue skies, smilin' at me. Nothin' but blue skies do I see.

I wouldn't purchase a Tesla even if they dropped the price of the model x to $15,000

Overall, those with an unfavorable view of Tesla climbed from 26% in January to 38% this week. That's an increase of 46% for the stats geeks out there.

Biden & Harris should not go to his inauguration.

He’s refusing FBI background checks.
He’ll use the military to carry out mass deportations.
He’s trying to bypass Senate confirmations.
He’s declared war on the DOJ & FBI.

That’s just the start. Biden & Harris shouldn’t go. Do not normalize him.
