Elon Musk is on trial for securities fraud right now in San Francisco.
I wrote a 2,000-word breakdown of the case, what happened in court, the mistrial motion, and why it matters.

True.
Iβd have to add wholly ILLEGAL behaviour that he will be prosecuted for in the future.
Also highlights necessity of new legislation ASAP.
I think he thinks he's being clever and knows if he's honest things won't work out well for him but he's learning in real time that the bad faith behavior he's learned won't work in this situation. Bad faith trolls poison discourse to avoid speaking about details honestly. He can't avoid it here.

WATCH β @jamestalarico.bsky.social : βEvery dollar we spend bombing people in the Middle East is one weβre not spending here at home. Weβre always told we donβt have enough money for schools or healthcare or for veterans, but thereβs always enough to bomb people on the other side of the world.β
Yesterday I spent more time helping patients figure out how to pay for their medications than discussing their actual medical concerns. This is how the souls of physicians die. Not all at once, but one paper cut at a time.

Jeebus,
Exactly why people are warning of the danger of AI overuse.
Utter lack of logic or understanding.
Fools who are firing real experts and cutting funds to critical research, departments and funding.

Mediocre white boys don't do very well in depositions when faced with practiced and studied attorneys who are far superior intellectually than they could even fathom.
Internet philosophizing does not equal intellectual dominance.
Case in point.
We all know this is a senseless wars with no objectifiable goals or endings.
We all saw very ignorant FOX hosts trying to tell us what a long range missile is and why we are hitting girlsβ schools.
Why no warning to in country citizens or our alliesβοΈ
No answers; because none exist.
3/ Second, they confirmed "regime change" is also NOT on the list. So, they are going to spend hundreds of billions of your taxpayer dollars, get a whole bunch of Americans killed, and a hardline regime - probably a MORE anti-American hardline regime - will still be in charge.
5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
4/ Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories.
But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production?
They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.
2/ Maybe the lead is that the war goals DO NOT involve destroying Iran's nuclear weapons program. This is, uh...surprising...since Trump says over and over this is a key goal.
But then of course we already know air strikes can't wipe out their nuclear material.
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
Great read!!!

NEWS: Democrat Shawn Harris has forced a runoff in the special election for Marjorie Taylor Greeneβs deep-red Georgia seat (Trump +37).
With ~70% in, Harris leads with 38.3% to Trump-endorsed Republican Clay Fullerβs 34.5%.
Runoff set for April 7. A major warning sign for MAGA.

They're hiding their incompetence behind the valor of our men and women in uniform.
As if to question why we're at war is to question our heroes. No, it's to make sure the mission is worth their sacrifices.
Our troops will always do their job.
Republicans need to do theirs.
Tweeting hateful garbage doesn't magically make you an Americanβor a real Christian.
Christian Nationalists are unable to assimilate; they all have to go to hell. (And quickly.)
They hate me because I fight. They attack me because I win.
I will do everything I can to protect free and fair elections. I will never back down.
Hold them all accountable!
