It’s entirely plausible. He is a Putin acolyte.
It really seems that his objective is to destroy our country.
This cartoon is so on the nose.
SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆 With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever! THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏
Every voter in November should determine on which candidate the big money is being spent and vote for their opponent. Reject the oligarchs.
Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
Happy birthday to an actual President, Barack Obama. 💙

Reportedly, Elon Musk is donating $120 million to Republicans in the midterms. That should piss you off. It does me. We have to vote in great numbers in November, and not let any Republican voter suppression tactics deter us.
Vote In Numbers Too Big To Rig

The orange felon is the most corrupt presiden, easily surpassing Richard Nixon. Ironically, his lawyer has that 5 O’clock shadow reminiscent of Tricky Dick.
Jeanine Pirro didn’t choke, she told the truth. Telling the truth is choking in the eyes of the pathologically lying orange felon.
Taco insists the Reflecting Pool was vandalized. Perhaps the finger should be pointed directly at his pool guy, Vinnie Boombas, whose company did a rushed and botched job, according to the DOJ.
Republicans are really going to approve Todd Blanche, the orange felon’s personal lawyer, for attorney general, while his boss runs the most corrupt administration in our nation’s history. Our last chance to stop them is Election Day, less than 100 days away. I shudder to think of the alternative.

When Taco said he’d deliver a new golden age for the country, he meant he’d paint everything gold and call it a day.
We can hit them over the heads with our votes. Let’s do this!
It's interesting how they literally tell us what they do.

Greece, France, Canada, the US and other counties are having huge wildfires caused by climate change—hotter temps, longer droughts, and drier vegetation. The oil industry must not continue getting a free pass to rake in larger and larger profits without paying for the damage it’s causing.
I have no reason to discount this. Musk is a uniquely strange human being. But he’s also been known to follow the move fast and break things credo, which might be fine in software development, but clearly disastrous when talking about USAID and other critical operations.
Agree with @jamellebouie.net that it's pretty clear Elon Musk wanted to eviscerate USAID *for the purpose of killing as many African people as possible.* Mass death wasn't an accidental byproduct of his "deep state" paranoia; it was a key mission of DOGE. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/29/o...
When a Republican congressman says this, in light of the heat he’s likely to take from his own party and a vindictive president, the situation is dire.
No Lies Detected. The current regime doesn’t want people to know this, especially from one of their own. The president of The United States is a liar
