Elon Musk Rant
I've seen the headline again that "Elon Musk Breaks the Guinness Record for Losing the Most Money of Anyone in History"
He's lost more money than anyone, EVER, and his lifestyle hasn't been affected one bit. You could take half of his wealth now in taxes and he still could do anything he wanted. To say we shouldn't tax the rich makes no sense.
Welp!

And there Donald #Trump goes. He just went after Alvin Bragg by name, calling him a "criminal" and saying that Alvin Bragg should be "prosecuted." Tomorrow would be a great time for the judge to issue a gag order. Trump is a walking national security threat. He will never learn.

"Donald Trump has already begun to identify by name and threaten witnesses, prosecutors, family members, and judges in the criminal prosecution now underway against him in Manhattan. This is not surprising for him. ...
Nothing Trump does is shocking anymore. But it is literally unthinkable that a former president would put private citizens at risk."

Amen. “Mr. Fetterman deserves recognition for setting an example. He did not surrender to shame or stigmas about mental illness. Hopefully, the senator’s leadership will inspire others to confront it, and to seek treatment.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/04/03/fetterman-cbs-interview-depression-confession/
Rep Justin Jones: Tonight as Tennessee Republicans push forward to schedule vote on our expulsion, Speaker Sexton orders the gallery cleared as crowd cheers “fascists.” Media forced out as well. Then, Rep Lafferty (R-Knox) pushes me & grabs my phone. This is a sad day for Tennessee.
