Zuck is now only the 6th wealthiest person in the world.

But when measured against his fellow multi-billionaires for sheer obnoxiousness, he's still #1.

(Because Trump isn't yet multi. And Elon is now a Trillionaire).

If I'm doing the math correctly, Musk's big pay packet yesterday could have made each of these now-dead people millionaires instead.
He is among the sickest men the world has ever produced.

But it sure fits with sooooooo many definitely-real ones:

Several allegedly-Dem Senators (Fetterman, Shaheen, perhaps others) have been advocating exactly this.

GOP "deal": Give us 7 votes for government funding, and we'll give you 0 votes to restore Obamacare subsidies-- but we'll let you express your opinion on the Senate floor.

Labor Department social media campaign depicts a White male workforce The campaign has drawn scrutiny, with critics saying it is not realistically portraying the countryโ€™s diversity and is sending messages that feel exclusionary.

Trump's Labor Dept is focused on getting more jobs...
...(but only white guys need apply).

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.

12 days of work in 107 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
