So, far right trillionaires Musk has donated around 400m to Republican midterms races. The US limits what businesses and political organizations can donat to politics, but an individual can attempt to buy an election.

Netflix is laying off 1,000 workers — its largest layoff ever. In 2025, Netflix had a net income of $11 billion (up 26%). Its CEO was paid $53M (255x more than the median employee). And it just raised prices for the second time in just over a year. Corporate greed in a nutshell.

every single thing Trump has done since coming down that escalator has been to help Putin but he just did a few head fakes to throw people off the scent

sure, Musk totally has a problem with military use ... he's moral like that, did you know? Democrats should campaign on taking everything Elon has and throw his traitor ass in prison.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Rachel Maddow: Trump’s schedulers send him to the reddest parts of the country, and protesters show up anyway. I love that refusal to fall in line. Paint the whole damn map red. You still don’t own our voices, streets, or our right to tell you no. Take that to the ballot box! #momsky#sheshed
