Why did Musk recruit teenage software engineers for government economic positions?

What do software engineers have to do with fiscal policy?

And why has no one in the media asked this one simple question?

Would CNN hire a 19 yr old coder & programmer to streamline its corporate debt and spending?

Beautiful snow today. I’m enjoying the nighttime vibe. ✌🏼💙🩵❄️📸

Jeffries: In our nation's history, 25% of our nation's debt was accumulated during the four years of the former president, 25%. How dare you lecture America about fiscal responsibility ever.

The richest man in the world who is about to shutdown our government tweeting support for a German neo-nazi party in the middle of the night

It’s weird to think that Elon Musk will end up having paid far less for the United States Government than he did for Twitter

Just a reminder that in 2019, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine misinformation campaign helped cause a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly kids.

Do you really want him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services?

The Grinch that stole Christmas

My newest tropical hibiscus 🌺
Albo Lacinatus, aka La France

Of all of my hibiscus, I love her the most. She is perfection! 😍

My pink variegated tropical hibiscus. I bought this plant online back in April. It never bloomed all spring and summer. Timing is everything I suppose.. It decided to bless me with its first bloom on Thanksgiving. 🩷🙏🏼

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you all had a lovely day. 😊✌🏼

I wish I had a time machine to go back to 1787 so I could tell Madison and Jefferson their constitutional republic committed suicide in 2024 for wont of a “no criminals” clause.

Starting a phony transgender bathroom debate and hiding behind the guise of “protecting women” to distract from your attempts to push through the confirmations of alleged rapists, sex traffickers, and fraudsters at the highest levels of government is peak Republican Party.

On a chilly, rainy day.. there is nothing like a bowl of spicy Green Chili Beef Caldo with Mexican rice for dinner. 🌶️😋

So… 45 is putting Musk in charge of the new agency - Department of Government Efficiency, aka DOGE. 🤔 Knowing Musk’s involvement in crypto, am I the only one that finds that “interesting”? Just seems like quite a coincidence, like… there is something behind that name. Maybe it’s just me.. 🤷🏼‍♀️

For fuck’s sake, Bezos. I think you have something orange on your lips. 💋

That’s just disgusting. And again, this is another example of the differences between the working class and the ownership class… the latter being why America struggles so much to be a more perfect Union. 😒

This little guy is still busy working in mid-November. 💛🐝
As we know, bees are essential pollinators and are critical to food production. I sure hope that those who are essential to maintaining our democracy are as busy as this bee - gaming out how they will protect our democracy in these times. ⚖️

We use our boxes to make “houses” for our cat to play in as well! 🙌🏼

Prediction: Gaetz will withdraw his name from consideration & blame it on a Democratic witch hunt (unless Trump makes good on his recess appt threat, but that would require the Senate to go out of session). When he does, remember that even the GOP couldn't stomach Gaetz as AG. x.com/JulieNBCNews...

Authoritarians want you to betray each other but they also encourage you to betray yourself through an inner moral collapse- you give up your agency and let the leader "fix it," and you disregard your moral compass.

It’s the worst! 🤢

And so it begins…
The LA Times is complying in advance. 🤬

My tropicals are inside until mid-Spring. These lovely blooms are my Hibiscus Cooperii. I love the frilly petals and the variegated foliage. 😍🌺

I took this photo underneath a Roman amphitheater in Tarragona, Spain. You can ignore the ropes and literally explore the entire amphitheater. It was amazing!!
