We didn’t know what the ultimate motherfuckers looked like until this year. It’s probably time for someone to come up with even nastier words

I sold my tiny bit of Tesla stock years ago, when I stopped thinking Elon was pro-environment. But for a year I’ve looked at the price every morning - like checking the weather. It was a very cold winter, but today Tesla’s price feels like Spring is coming! Keep fighting!

Cheers for Washington Post columnist extraordinaire @danamilbank.bsky.social, who writes today that "the single greatest threat to 'personal liberties and free markets' in the United States today" is "President Donald Trump." wapo.st/3DaSKxX (gift link)

Opinion | Trump is fast dismantling the free press. We all have to stop him. It’s part of a broader crackdown on the civil liberties of those who disagree with the president.

Trump is fast dismantling the free press. All of us -- journalists, media owners and the public -- need to fight back -- now. My latest column (gift link): wapo.st/3Dq7VU1

It’s hard to decide which of trump’s activities are most evil, but in the long run destroying our free press may be the most destructive of democracy.
Let’s find more ways to fight back!

I know every is rightfully enraged at Jeff Bezos but go to the @washingtonpost.com rn and see all the good work. It is but a tiny fraction of a penny to him, but your support can save their good work. Cancel Prime instead.

This is not a problem for Elon - the stock remains close to 100% above the price one year ago, and he has billions to play with. We need to see a huge reduction in US sales

European sales suggest a great trend. But the stock price remains twice what it was a year ago.

Too many Virginians can't afford job training programs and too many employers struggle to fill skilled labor positions.

I have a solution: my JOBS Act will allow students to use Pell Grantsβ€”education grants for lower-income folksβ€”to pay for shorter-term job training programs.

I find my taste has changed… I cook dry beans for a shorter time than when I started, because I find there’s a freshness that I like. Now canned or over cooked beans feel too mushy, and the slightly dry ones feel just right…also, try adding corn with your rice and beans

I agree. It makes me sick to see how D’s often attack committed Democratic leaders because they don’t meet someone’s idea of perfect. It’s damn hard to accomplish anything in this complicated policy arena, and Biden’s list of achievements is amazing.
