Wonkette continues to provide context and reporting sorely lacking from other coverage of German politics and Musk’s endorsement of a Nazi party there. https://www.wonkette.com/p/elon-musk-boosting-german-fascists

“Musk’s politics have never been particularly mysterious, unless you are a political reporter for The New York Times.”

His politics are so mysterious!

The American Meltdown Begins

Elon Musk is now running our government and is executing an agenda that is against our national interests. But many people, especially Republicans, have not yet awakened to that fact, or to the reality that American democracy has been fatally compromised.

MANAGING FINANCIAL INSTABILITY IN 2025

Powerful words from true journalists at @ProPublica

"We face the biggest test of our professional lives. Now we get to see if we really meant it when we said we will hold power to account. Will we do so when our subjects have true power on their side and a willingness to use it? We may be harassed. We may be sued. We may be threatened with violence. We may be ignored. Are we just sunshine journalists or are we ready?"

What We’ll Be Covering in a Second Trump Administration

We’ll be devoting a significant part of our staff to detailing what are expected to be dramatic changes in the role of the federal government in the lives of Americans.

"As Trump tiptoed toward 'yes' in a television interview, you could see him processing, in real-time, his craven calculations. But he misjudged the backlash. So the next day, he walked it back. Or, more accurately ran back around in a circle, mumbling incoherently and hoping no one would notice.

But that’s not going to work, and you can bet there was a sweep of excitement at the Harris-Walz campaign where they were certainly paying attention."

"It’s blown up because it’s a microcosm of Donald Trump’s moral squalor. ...

What happened at Arlington National Cemetery earlier this week was much more than an erroneous photo op. It was Trump on full display."

Podcast Aficionado & loose-lipped “Quote Factory” #JDVance unending hatred of Women…is a Dem gift that keeps on giving!

“Vance represents a new articulation of #rightwing politics that is bridging the #christian right & a tech-influenced hypermasculine conservatism.”

“What they share is the view that #women shouldn’t be in pd work: they should be in the home & rearing children. But the public line isn’t ‘we hate women’, it’s ‘women will be happier if they stay at home’”

Accounts pushing disinfo/misinfo about Iran vs. Israel appear to be crowding out the few credible sources remaining on Twitter/X. As @jsrailton puts it: "Twitter is awash with a flood tide of falsehoods tonight. Some is the work of people trying to farm revenue. And some is disinformation seeking to seed specific false perceptions."
