"One source familiar with the talks described them as "a departure from the usual acquisition process. There's an attitude that the national security and defense community has to be sensitive and deferential to Elon Musk because of his role in the government."

ELECTION RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, have been pushing anti-LGTB policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship.

Voters just ousted all three of these city councilors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by a local LGBT group.

I usually agree with you, but not on this. I'm here for anyone who is ready to reject Trumpism and the massive harms it causes. Even if it's just because the harm just reached them personally. If you're ready to push back: welcome.

Protest video shared with me from Massena, New York, a rural town on the Canadian border of ~12k people. Estimated 250+ in attendance. Amazing.
