Fifth worst day for the Dow -- EVER

And guess who rang the bell at the NY Stock Exchange this morning?

Rudy Giuliani, that's who 😂😂😂

Maybe Newsom could stop kissing up to fascists on his podcast, and do something about PG&E extorting Californians instead of profiting from it. He can stop pretending to have the moral authority we need in this moment.

Dear God.

The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.

This week, as the number of confirmed measles cases rose to 483, the CDC buried a report that would’ve stressed the importance of getting vaccinated.

The move was “not normal at all,” one agency staff member said.

He is high on the list of people responsible for getting us here. Not really interested in his criticisms unless they come with an apology. Maybe not even then.

At what point do we start calling what Elon Musk is doing inside our government a coup

Musk didn't just wave his hand. He brought his right hand to his chest then immediately extended his right arm straight with his palm facing downward.

Here's a side-by-side comparison for context. This is an intentional multi-step gesture. It is not an accidental movement with a faint resemblance.

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."

She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

Agreed. IF Biden's administration understands the dangers of retaining Elon's contracts, AND they do nothing because trump will just "undo" it, THAT is obeying in advance. Throw sand in the gears. Make trump do his own dirty work. REVOKE his clearance and his contracts.

All of this. Every word of this.

I hope Aileen Cannon isn’t queued up to be next

When Nikki Haley is mocking you for being a fraud and a sellout, that’s when you know it’s really bad because she’s an expert.

Being “the new Jim Comey” is NOT a defense.

Does he even care anymore? He got what he wanted.

Gen Jones! 🙋🏻‍♀️

I, like many of you, have been contemplating our predicament since election night.

We are in a losing war for our democracy and I'm not sure we collectively know who our true adversary is.

It's not the voting blocks...white women, Latinos, Gen X. It's not MAGA. It's not even Trump.

I’d love a follow-back, but I’m with you either way - so glad you’re here!

This is really bad. Turns out this is Brock Pierce and friends. Pierce is tight with Bannon, Eric Adams, Brittany Kaiser. Russia capture, ultimately. Ride it while you can I guess but expect disaster down the road.

Let me guess - the Ivies all rejected Barron.

Another ex-subscriber here! Very sad that a once-decent paper has been taken over by yet another autocratic South African “broligarch.”

It is nice to be on a social media platform where you do not feel like some weirdo billionaire is Wizard of Oz-ing a bespoke nefarious algorithm from behind a giant curtain

So glad you’re here, Joyce!!

Does a grandcat work?
