"because I'm a lifelong republican.... democrat" Bruh
Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.
This seems fine, I can’t think of any reasons why we might need counterterrorism expertise right now

The kids these days will hardly believe it, but a mere two years ago, the mental & physical (lack of) acuity of Elderly Presidents was the Great Issue of Our Time. Someone should tell Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson, so they can write a book on it.

Why doesn't Trump want you to see his deals with Big Pharma? Maybe because it's a scam that's loaded with giveaways to drug companies—but no real savings for the American people.
Secret contracts reveal undisclosed terms in Trump’s drug-pricing deals
Agreements with Pfizer and Eli Lilly include tariff protections, overseas pricing inducements and broad confidentiality clauses.

TV Networks to Resume Trump Coverage, Even as White House Excludes CNN
The White House TV pool went dark this past week amid a standoff between CNN and the president. Network leaders, however, believe an indefinite suspension may be untenable.

"Julia" shared this photo with us from the carrots in the Cuyama CA area. "We are paid piece rate and we only are given 4 hours of work a day. This makes it impossible to cover our expenses. The high was 97° when this photo was taken." #WeFeedYou
A familiar story for anyone who follows @volts.wtf. “The Chronicle spoke to more than half a dozen grid experts…to try to understand why Texas’s notoriously unreliable grid had a remarkably reliable summer. The answer was unanimous: solar panels and batteries.”
Texas shattered energy demand records this summer. Here's why the grid held up.
Texas repeatedly broke electricity demand records this summer, but ERCOT avoided emergencies as booming solar and battery capacity helped keep the grid stable.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 12h agoAssistant AG for Fraud Colin McDonald: "Apparently 35% of people have never even used their Obamacare account for any health services. That is a statistical impossibility and it's because these are not real people seeking real care. These are fraudsters."
WOW this is powerful and heartbreaking. Meet Sarah, she’s a constituent of Iowa who is battling cancer. Her senator is #HinsonIsHiding Ashley Hinson. Hinson voted for Trump’s Budget bill that cut Medicaid. Sarah was kicked out of a Hinson event…
The White House is using taxpayer money to run pro-Trump propaganda ads just weeks before the midterm elections. @swin24.bsky.social and @andrewperez.bsky.social report how the ads violate federal laws and why this ad campaign even exists. Read more: zeteo.com/p/trump-love...
Paying expensive healthcare premiums but never using the insurance is a odd way to commit fraud.

When I came into office, there had been 24 credit downgrades and 20 years of unbalanced budgets. I’m proud to say that under my administration, we’ve achieved eight consecutive balanced budgets and 12 consecutive credit rating upgrades.
Bond yields at two-decade highs in largest market correction in generations

"Getting French-Canadians to the point of embracing the mindset of 'we must all hang together or we shall all hang separately' is an amazing feat. Only Trump could have made the US seem so awful that the Quebecois would embrace Canada First."

Trump once again: “A 5000 Dollar Dividend to all adults if Republicans WIN!”
If this isn't a sign that internal polls for the GOP are absolutely brutal, I don't know what is.
