Free speech king!
Musk’s interview went great: Reporter: What is your thought on the ban of foreign students, you were one of those kids, right? Musk: “I think we want to stick to talking about spaceships.” Reporter: I was told that any topic is good. Musk: “Well no.”

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, CNN's Senior Data Analyst Harry Enten just HUMILIATED Donald Trump making clear that President Obama soars above him in terms of popularity with the American people. Retweet this to ensure every American sees Trump's worst nightmare come true.

After Hitler invaded Poland, some “hoped” he’d stop there. Hope is not a strategy.

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet. He just seems to have trouble pronouncing it when it's my name.  I don't care how he pronounces my name. I don't even care that he remembers my whole name. Because he can just go on and call me senator after November.

Obama can spell dumb.
Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

We need to teach history in this country and quickly.

The amount of people who had to approve this is staggering and yet here we are.

Maybe they gave a dust allergy you asshole. Meanwhile maybe you should stop killing children with your anti-vax rhetoric.

A woman survives childhood abuse, becomes a doctor, and runs for governor. Republicans somehow decided the villain in that story was the woman.

Nothing like bragging about hanging out with a basket of deplorables.
RFK Jr. explains why socializing with Jeffrey Epstein wasn't such a big deal for him: "…I ran into everybody in NY. I mean, I knew Harvey Weinstein, I knew Roger Ailes, I knew -- O.J. Simpson came to my house. Bill Cosby came to my house.” (2024)

How do they still believe this total nonsense?
"Trump is a Godly man. He’s working for God. He really cares about us. He cares about what happens to us. He didn’t come in there because he wanted money. He is actually working for God...and God is on his side." - Trump supporter on President Trump.

Excellent advice here from JD. Vote dems!
JD Vance makes a recommendation on who to vote for in the midterms: "Vote for the people who have solutions to lower the cost of gas, don't vote for the people who made the problem to begin with."

The war with Iran put so much at risk. We are seeing that more with each passing day and these manifestations will only accelerate now. Totally foreseeable and thus avoidable. There is no amount of denial or propaganda that can overcome this reality. If it ended tomorrow with a successful negotiation, it would still be a massive loser strategically for the U.S.

Abdul El-Sayed gives a BRILLIANT response to a guy asking him is he disavows the Muslim Brotherhood (he disavows them). Why doesn't every Christian candidate get asked if they disavow the Proud Boys, or the KKK, or other Christian Nationalist terrorists?

Praising an indicted war criminal and dictator who bombs civilian sites and kidnaps children to destroy a neighboring democracy. This is deplorable.
Vance: "I've never met Putin in person. I've spoken to him on the phone. He was calmer than you might expect. The American media has a stereotype of him. He's very deliberate and measured in his words. I think, at his core, he's someone who cares about Russia's interests as he sees them. One reason he respects the President is that he recognizes the President cares about the interests of the American people."
