It took Elon Musk 20,059 days to make his first trillion dollars and only 37 minutes to make his second. Let that sink in

Retired 4-Star Navy Admiral and former Navy SEAL William McRaven on Donald Trump: "Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation." RETWEET if you stand with Admiral McRaven!

Wisconsin friends - as we watch the confusion coming out of Texas and people finding their proper voting location, a reminder that you can go to myvote.wi.gov and locate your polling location and a sample ballot!! It’s good to check because voting locations sometimes change!

BREAKING: ICE officials are reportedly worried that, if Congress requires ICE agents to unmask and wear identification, 75% of the agents will quit rather than be ostracised for the rest of their lives by family, friends, employers, and society.

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

its clear to me that the goal here is to keep escalating until something gives and people push back. and then use that as a means to implement martial law and engage in mass repression. Minnesota is a testing ground.
ICE agents detained a U.S. citizen legal observer in Minneapolis, smashing his car window, dragging him out, and placing a knee on his neck, conduct banned under Minnesota law after George Floyd.

Americans no longer trust legacy media in part because an avalanche of grifters have told them exactly what they want to hear on algorithmic social media sites designed to funnel highly curated outrage, and it's all undermined real journalism in the process.
Americans no longer trust legacy media. @TonyDokoupil wants to change that. “Here’s my promise to you: you come first. Not advertisers, not politicians, not corporate interests—and yes, that does include the corporate owners of CBS.” The new @CBSEveningNews begins Monday, January 5, at 6:30 p.m. ET.

Big ‘who else is tired of only pilots flying this plane’ vibe.
"On too many stories, the press has missed the story. Because we've taken into account the perspective of advocates and not the average American. Or we put too much weight in the analysis of academics or elites, and not enough on you." That changes now. The new CBS Evening News starts Monday at 6:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
