Sanders: I will tell you what I think the worst addiction in this country is, the most dangerous, and that is the greed of the oligarchs. Everybody wants to do well. These guys already have billions, tens of billions, hundreds of billions. How much money do you need?

Elon Musk posted these two tweets the same day, just hours apart. Don’t sugarcoat it — he’s not just a far-right authoritarian, he’s an outright fascist.

Musk isn’t even trying to hide his true intentions at this point. STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR HIM.

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

RFK being an addict isn’t the issue — no one better understands drug misuse than a former user.

RFK being a fanatical pro-life, queerphobic, mental illness-denying anti-vaxxer, ‘nutrition huckster’ and conspiracy theorist is the issue.

If you are supporting Trump’s and Elon’s action, you are on the wrong side of history and the object of villainy in movies to come.

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework.
Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.
