Embarrassing week for Musk.
Quote Tweet
Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: @Donie O'Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar and the Washington Post's @drewharwell. Rupar tells me he has "no idea" why it happened.

"I don't know that I can divorce the power part out of it. If Kanye went off but hadn't actually lost his Adidas contract and hadn't gotten de-banked, what would the difference have actually been? It seems like those are the things that got him to sit back in his seat."

174 Democrats and 176 Republicans just came together to pass an $858 billion war budget for 2023, which is the biggest in history. If you haven’t figured out that both parties exist to preserve our decrepit capitalist and imperialist system then you’re not paying attention.

“They get these (committee) assignments & do nothing; soc security, living wage, corp crime. They don’t put bills in most of the time...only a bill# citizen groups rally for; that’s a repudiated argument. The only way to get anything is to say no, withdraw votes, then negotiate.”
