If your 401K is bleeding today, like mine, find small solace in schadenfreude of Elon, Inc., losing a half-trillion in market cap. Poor Elon's worth only $789.5B.

The last time Democrats swept Texas was 1961. When Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act in 1964, he said the South would be lost for generations--about three, as it turns out: what it has taken to *begin* to beat back Nixon's racist Southern strategy. Much still to do.

WTF, Politico. "Whole theory of power." He has no theories. He's just an authoritarian, would-be tin-pot dictator spray-painted gold: a fascist.

Democracy to Black, Hispanic, Muslim, young, and progressive voters - and women: THANK YOU. Democrats must not fail you again. As for uneducated, white, male voters: Go back to your caves or change your ways.

"Skirts". No, #BrokenTimes, he disobeys lawful orders, thereby undermining the rule of law in this wounded democracy. Say it.

Fuck off, #BrokenTimes. It insists on bothsidesing not a mutual meltdown but one that's entirely the odious Stevens', turning it into "a major fissure coursing through the Democratic Party" and "an embarrassing and potentially costly drama." No, fools, it's unifying Democrats.

No, #MurdochJournal, sorry to ruin your wishful storyline, but the Democrats aren't infighting. They are unified against one former Democrat who's an odious asshole.

I&#39;m coming to fear Larry Ellison could singlehandedly cause a crash. He&#39;s a one-man Janga economy: Oracle over-building, sonny&#39;s Skydance, collateralized investments in AI companies; any could bring his tower down, then much else with it.

What weird #BrokenTimes willful political naivete here, treating the politics it takes to both win office and get things done there as hypocrisy. I see it as more testament to how good he is. I guess bothsidesing is OK in journalism, not in politics. And remember whom he&#39;s facing! James Talarico Made His Name Fighting Republicans.

I finished high school in three years and college in three. I was in a rush. I get it. But I don&#39;t want to see an explosion of college lite for I fear vocational courses will win over humanities and social sciences; I wish I&#39;d studied more of both.
