Elon Musk has been summoned to Paris, where investigators are looking into allegations of misconduct related to the social media platform X, including the spread of child sexual abuse material and deepfake content.
this is so profoundly dishonorable
When Trump talked about ushering in a "new golden age," he was talking about a new golden age for his family's pocketbook.
Seniors on fixed incomes can't absorb rising costs the way others can. In Arizona, 1 in 5 residents is over 65. Washington doesn't talk about that enough. My Cost of Living Emergency Act is designed to protect them and the retirement they earned.
Arizona already has universal school vouchers, and it’s led to wasted money and underfunded schools. Now, Congress plans to spend tens of billions of your tax dollars to take it nationwide. I’m fighting to stop this to protect public education and our kids’ futures.
Hegseth has just proudly announced on Twitter that flu vaccines will no longer be mandatory for US Servicemembers.
Before The Regime took power, the DoD correctly said that vaccine refusal is a national security threat.
A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job.
One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution.
Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?
GOOD TO KNOW:
As California Attorney General, Xavier Becerra sued Donald Trump to stop family separation during his first term. As HHS Secretary, he rolled out programs to reunite unaccompanied children with their families.

The Democrats Who Joined Republicans in Opposing Measure to Block Arms Sales to Israel a wonder why
Voting rights groups launched a legal challenge Tuesday against the Trump administration’s effort to sweep up sensitive data on millions of Americans, arguing that the DOJ is building a dangerous centralized national voter list ahead of the midterm elections in November.

Warsh may be a reasonable guy and capable economist just playing a role here. But if integrity and independence are qualities we value in a Fed Chief, he does not have them.
Every nominee who dodges this question tells us that they have no meaningful commitment to American democracy.
Anyway, at the risk of sounding like a weirdo who is too online--
I'm really grateful to y'all, Bluesky. We are strangers-- but not, as many of you have supported me through the WaPo firing, my fighting journeys, through my father's passing--
--and basically rebuilding my life at nearly 40.
Republicans in the states are redistricting early at the behest of Donald Trump.
The response by Dems in Virginia, California, and elsewhere to counter-balance is being triggered only by a blatant plot to steal the midterms.
This isn’t a race to the bottom.
It’s a means of avoiding the bottom.
This is so ridiculous!
Fanaticism brought to you by a convicted sexual predator with taxpayer dollars!
Today I wrote about why you should vote for Democrats and that is not in fact an abdication of your political agency
Trump is on a looting spree before he gets voted into a lame duck.
😡😡😡
"This is an important thing to think about."
In office for more than a year, counterterrorism chief Sebastian Gorka has yet to issue a blueprint to combat threats.
"Instead of addressing our concerns, our legitimate concerns — instead, they turn toward investigating me... And I was instrumental in leading the group. So I think that clearly they were trying to chill [the] activity of workers and that should scare every worker across the country."

And .. here come the Freedom of Information Act requests for Kash Patel records
DC watchdog group Democracy Forward has formally requested Patel's calendars & any messages from security detail that include words "drinking", "hungover", "inebriated"

🚨 BBC has examined trade volume data on several financial markets & matched them to some of Trump’s most significant market-moving statements.
It found a consistent pattern of spikes just hours, or sometimes minutes, before a SM post or media interview was made public.

thats because court commentators are largely part of the media/politician club and are disconnected from reality
“The US has provided no evidence that any of the vessels were involved in drug trafficking, and legal experts and rights groups say the attacks amount to extrajudicial killings as they apparently target civilians who do not pose any immediate threat.”

So you and I and everyone else are in effect now refunding American corporations for import tariffs, although we paid for most of them in the form of higher prices — which they won’t now lower because they have monopoly power to keep prices high.
The Art of the Deal.
Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.
Only when it was staged to look like an attack that never happened.
