This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.

What's funnier still is the fact that the Cybertrucks have become so despised and devalued that Tesla dealerships will not accept one in trade for another Tesla vehicle! How's that for sorry AF? 😄👏

Happy birthday to an actual President, Barack Obama. 💙
Yeah, baby! That's what I'm talkin' about! Listen to Neil. He's smarter than you, me, and anyone either of us knows personally. Not to mention the entire House Republican Conference, which favors a return to 18th century American culture.

It’s always good to hear from a friend! He sends his best to everyone. His resolve hasn’t wavered. His message hasn’t changed. Impeach. Convict. Remove. Keep showing up. Keep speaking out. Keep reminding those in power that the American people are watching. #TheGoodTroubleSquadron #DOOR
Republicans promised they wouldn’t touch Medicare. Then they passed a bill that triggers tens of billions in cuts. Seniors will feel it in higher costs, fewer providers, and harder choices between medicine and rent. Broken promises have consequences. #RepublicanMedicareCuts
Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."
Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "
Our thoroughly corrupt electoral system.
trump has directed contractors to redo weeks of work on his planned White House helipad, frustrated with its appearance and questioning whether the slope of the White House lawn needs to be changed, according to two people who spoke on the condition of anonymity. 🤨🤦♂️🤮 archive.ph/7jQLK
Todd Blanche faces a key vote today in his bid to become attorney general. Two GOP holdouts said they will now back Blanche after he agreed to nix one key aspect of President Donald Trump’s controversial deal with the IRS. Other legal aspects of the agreement remain in question. archive.ph/Xw7Cv

The gaslighting is off the charts with this one. Every word is a lie. His actual approval rating is the second worst in modern presidential history, behind only Nixon’s 24% just before he resigned.
The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.
11 years ago today, Ken Paxton surrendered at the Collin County Jail on felony securities fraud charges. This is his mugshot.
I mean this in all seriousness, this is a severely mentally ill & delusional person who not only should be removed from office under the 25th amendment, but he should be in a psych ward. This is pure insanity on so many levels. He lives in a fantasy world. He is unwell & has lost touch with reality.

This attempt at a legal 'end run' is straight-up, obvious-as-rain evidence of what amoral and unprincipled criminal scumbags both of them are! It's called a CONSPIRACY!! 🤨🤬
Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 2d agoFYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

On 11th August here, in 🇹🇼Taiwan, we will be having 30mins war preparation. So during that, everything will stop - public transport stopped, no vehicles on the road, no internet. Why this world has to be full of assholes that initiate wars is a mystery I will take to my grave.

Ms. Taylor is a keen example of the sort of individual we need leading the U.S. into the future. Now we just need to find scores of such brilliant young people, and steer them into public service. Brava, young lady! 🏅👏💯
