As an Elon Musk biographer, I would peg his IQ as between 100 and 110. There’s zero evidence in his biography of anything higher. And I want to repeat that now, lest you think it a typo. There’s zero evidence, from his life history, of Musk having anything higher than a 110 IQ.

Update on Victoria/Victoria Brownworth from The Wife's bestie. Friday is Victoria's birthday. Thursday PT got her out of bed for the first time since her admission Jan 22--a monumental achievement. She is finally on track to going home and back to fighting for democracy. Prayers welcome.

4 a.m. and our Republican colleagues just voted against Warren/Kelly/King amendments that would have stopped further tax cuts for people making over $10 million; then $100 million; and then $500 million. No it isn’t a dream. 😴 They just did it.

Tonight, I am kicking off my coast-to-coast Fighting Oligarchy tour in Nebraska. I hope you’ll join us.

Most families could not adopt children with disabilities without the financial support of government programs. So, what do the Republicans want for those kids?

Many adults with disabilities can’t survive without Social Security.

Update on my Medical Travels: I’m Cancer Free! PSA 55 to PSA 0.09 to PSA <0.03…Yes! If you know prostate cancer, you know the happy story of those numbers — and the relief of hearing my surgeon say, “You can now consider yourself cancer-free.” Life has been a whirlwind lately,

I owe the television part of my career to Joy Reid, as do so many other Black voices y'all never would have heard of if not for her. And *that's* why she's gone. They can treat black folks as interchangeable, but everybody Black knows that Joy was indispensable.

Is Donald Trump going to respond to Musk’s email and report on what he did last week? To help, I’ve gone ahead and done it for him. A thread:

1. Purged the military of experienced and qualified senior officers, putting our national security at risk. 2. Promised to protect Medicaid only to backtrack <24 hours later by endorsing the House Republican plan to cut health care to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-rich.

3. Fired the experts working to end bird flu (as egg prices go WAY up). Now frantically trying to find and rehire them. 4. Stopped the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau from helping people who get scammed by Wall Street and giant corporations.

Elizabeth Warren Elon’s list ◦Falsely claimed millions of dead people get Social Security checks. ◦Performed a giggling chainsaw skit. ◦Softball Hannity interview with minion Trump. ◦Read plea from mother of three of his children for help in their child’s medical crisis. ◦Threatened to fire

This is a metaphor--some of us are this lovely flower fighting against the cold brutal concrete. Don't lose that thought. We must be the opposition and force the Democrats to sound the alarm every day.

Speaker Mike Johnson Mike Johnson wants you to believe he’s a man of the people, a fiscal watchdog sniffing out freeloaders. He paints this picture: a 29-year-old guy sprawled on a couch, controller in one hand, Medicaid card in the other, living off the system while decent folks foot the bill. It’s

Brett Meiselas: Right now, we have a president and his billionaire oligarch buddy, who are essentially leading a coup against the United States from within. And I think people are looking right now for people to call this out for what it is every single day, unapologetically,

Acyn Does Mike Johnson understand that generally half of every House rep's constituents are Democrats? Constituents are not just Republicans and all voters should be welcome, not just those you agree with.

💯 this. We need the Democrats to get tougher and be that strong opposition party we need.

There are measles outbreaks solely because people are listening to anti-vaxxer rhetoric and putting their kids' lives at risk. No child has died from measles in the US in a decade. If you love them, get your kids vaccinated.
