Elon Musk is planning to spend at least $100 million to help Republicans in this year’s midterms. That’s just 0.014 percent of his current $702 billion net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.
I have worked in reality TV for over 26 years. Over the past 3.75 years, I have produced 61 episodes of BELLE COLLECTIVE, 41 as showrunner. And with this reunion, I have my first solo credit card as Executive Producer. I am so proud of this cast, this crew, this show and of me! #bellecollective
I’m flying internationally next week so I’m prepping for it thusly: 1) Getting flu and COVID vaccines 2) Downloaded “Yakety Sax” to my phone to play loudly in case someone tries to preach during my plane ride.
The fact that Trump is underwater (!) in Texas (!!) on a Fox News Poll (!!!) surprised me. Well damn. We’ll see if this holds.
4. The governor’s race is essentially tied, with Greg Abbott at 50% and Democrat Gina Hinojosa at 49%. Trump is underwater in Texas, with 45% viewing him favorably and 54% unfavorably.
It's amazing to me how absolutely tone deaf this administration is. You really think people are going to choose to eat liver over beef or other cuts of meat? Really? Smh...
RFK Jr. suggests Americans can more easily afford groceries if they start eating liver instead of beef: "Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. ... You can buy liver"

I don’t think the Dr. Fauci diary “scandal” is going to lower the price of gasoline or ground beef. I think voters care more about the economy than an 85-year-old doctor who got star struck by Barbra Streisand. 🎶The Way We Were🎶 is iconic so I get it.
what an absolute breath of fresh air at a time when the most miserable dregs of humanity are in charge and would love nothing more than for us to give up hope
This mayoral administration is improving life for everyday New Yorkers through a politics of joy.

Really not the point here but he's like pretty virulently Islamophobic on main and anti-Black behind closed doors. Allegedly.
KANEW: “Bill Maher says he’s open to voting for Vance in 2028… Bill Maher is not your friend, Democrats. He’s John Fetterman with a talk show. Time to turn him off.”
Saw THE ODYSSEY last night. Tremendous film. Loved it. And Miss Anne Hathaway better be nominated for an Oscar for it. Because she was incredible! #theodyssey
That is not true. They DO require two sets of ID’s for the unlimited soup, salad and breadsticks…
Scalise: "For God's sake -- you can't get pasta at Olive Garden without a picture ID! Why not be able to show a picture ID to vote?"
Now, you know how earlier today I said we need to stop conflating morality with intelligence? This lacks both. Have at it.
