🧵 I’ve decided to run against Nancy Pelosi to represent San Francisco in Congress. I know some of you might be surprised that Speaker Emeritus Pelosi is running again, but she is — for her 21st term! We need new leadership in the Democratic Party.

“Mr. Duffy said the young staff of Mr. Musk’s team was trying to lay off air traffic controllers. What am I supposed to do? Mr. Duffy said. I have multiple plane crashes to deal with now, and your people want me to fire air traffic controllers?”
I LOVE this interview that @ddayen.bsky.social and I did with a corporate procurement expert on DOGE. It's amazing to see how absolutely bloated and fucked up big business really is.

A screenshot of a New York Times update that says: In Grand Central Terminal, Leon Chang, 26, of Brooklyn, said he had not heard of congestion pricing and asked what it was. When explained it was a toll for cars entering Manhattan, he then asked “What do you mean? What is a car?” Walking outside, we showed him a vehicle parked on the street. He gently touched the hood of the car. “You wish to forbid these majestic beasts from entering the city,” he said in a wistful tone. “It is a folly of man. The desire to tame the world around us.”
where does the new york times even find these people

It appears Musk came to US on a student visa, did not attend school and worked illegally here.
If he lied in his subsequent immigration applications he committed a felony level crime and could be stripped of his citizenship and security clearances.
Musk's brother: "We were illegal immigrants."
