800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel.
Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire.
Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year.
Glad everything worked out for them.
How about you?

This is an important thread. It seems weirdly disrespectful to try to turn Kirk into something he clearly despised.
As someone who spent many hours listening to Kirk’s show on AM radio, I would say that he made Rush Limbaugh seem like Walter Cronkite by comparison, in terms of rhetorical tone and empirical rigor. The subtext of every show was “You don’t hate the left enough.”
My sense is that most Americans had not heard of Charlie Kirk until yesterday. The first and perhaps only thing they're going to hear about him from the most trusted and important voices in American politics is that he was a model and constructive participant in good-faith political discourse.

Dems should Polarize The F--- out of the national debate over RFK, vaccines, and public health
Big news: California, Oregon and Washington State just announced a joint "West Coast Health Alliance" to counter Trump/RFK destruction of our public health system.
As I argued last week (see below), this is becoming a new frontier in Dem Gov resistance to Trump.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.
If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.
If you're under 28, the number is 100%.

Really fascinating that years ago all political and economic focus was steered toward tech to the detriment of education, critical thinking, and disciplines like the humanities that promote empathy and we ended up in a fascist tech dominated dystopia where everyone’s drowning in conspiracy theories.

Dead serious about this: Democrats should start publicly building the case that Melania Trump and Elon Musk both obtained citizenship fraudulently. Promise to strip it and deport them once it's proven during the next Democratic administration.

NEW: A federal judge raised alarm Friday that the Trump administration appeared to have deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with "no meaningful process" — even as her father was fighting to keep her in the country.
