Musk, worth $829 billion, owns X.

Bezos, worth $234 billion, owns The Washington Post & Twitch.

Zuckerberg, worth $231 billion, owns Facebook, Instagram & WhatsApp.

And now Larry Ellison, worth $202 billion, is about to control CNN, CBS, TikTok & HBO.

Yes, this is oligarchy.

What an easy governing philosophy Republicans have. Just blame every problem on Biden, Democrats, and migrants. Then you never have to solve anything and can blame all your failures on other people. This is especially useful when you are grossly unqualified for your position.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

We need an HHS Secretary who respects science and does not make policy based on conspiracy theories.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Kennedy is threatening the health of our kids and all Americans.

He must resign.

Who amongst us guessed that β€œThe Golden Age of America”would feature concentration camps?

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:

A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Also, I’m not sure that our Secretary of Defense could talk cogently about the politics of the Middle East for three whole minutes, so there’s that too. We are careening toward a geopolitical abyss with only Bibi Netanyahu in charge.

I agree with Speaker Johnson.

No one should wonder whether a lawmaker is advancing their own financial interest or the public interest.

It makes no sense for lawmakers to own individual stocks. Just ban it.

Members of Congress shouldn't even have the appearance of conflicts.

Taking a bribe in a very public way doesn't mean you aren't corrupt, it means your corruption is shameless.

Nothing says teacher appreciation like gutting the Department of Education and firing half of the people that make the agency run.

Exactly. And if he had committed a thousand crimes, it wouldn’t be a heavy lift to prove just one. But DHS and the White House offer nothing but conclusory bullshit.

They don’t care.

They don’t care that the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring an innocent man home to his family.

They don’t care.

They think it’s funny.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

We’re sending the guy with 0 felony convictions to a horrible prison in El Salvador and keeping the guy with 34 to run the country?

Insane.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a β€œterrorist,” who was β€œsent to the right place.”

This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent.

He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

In fairness, China's pronouncers of state propaganda have a much better game then America's.

Forget about the legal case.

A man was wrongly deported and placed in a notorious prison with leaders of a gang out to get him.

Anyone with an ounce of basic human decency would fix the mistake and return that man to the United States

We have the most anti-free speech government in modern American history.

(And yet, in true Orwellian fashion, they claim to be champions of free speech.)

Our government mistakingly put an innocent man in a foreign jail, and our Justice Department is now arguing to keep him there. Under Trump, our Justice Department is now working AGAINST justice.
