Elon Musk Wants a Do-Over on Twitter Trial After Jury Pool Couldn't Hide Its Disdain Elon Musk’s legal team filed a motion for a mistrial in the case, a move that often hints the defense thinks the trial isn’t going its way.

Shareholders accuse "Musk of allegedly violating securities law by making misleading public statements in an effort to push Twitter’s stock price down before he bought the platform in Oct 2022."

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.

Looks like @shawnforcongress.bsky.social is performing very well tonight in the special election for MTG's seat. He'll be in the runoff in early April. Give him a follow and help boost his campaign.πŸ’™

DHS leadership reportedly removed top privacy officials after they objected to government records being mislabeled to keep them from the public.

According to WIRED, the officials raised transparency concerns and then were pushed out of the department.

A democracy cannot survive when billionaires are allowed to utterly deform its politics.

Did we ever find out what Tulsi Gabbard got caught doing last month? That story disappeared after it was reported that Wiles put something in the WH vault.

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiarβ€”far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

From education to creativity to social interaction, techbros keep inventing tech to skip things they find hard or dull, and are genuinely confused we don’t crave the same
liberation they do.

Helping Netanyahu and his PIGGY! Wants his Pedo palace built by U.S taxpayers so why not drag Americans into a never ending war! I recall the whining about Biden’s pull out of Afghanistan, how many US soldiers are dead already? Lying sack of shit needs his ass removed from office. Incompetence.

The fact that Donald Trump is going to try to subvert the 2026 elections doesn't mean he will be successful. We have shown before that we can fight back in court and win. The key is that we must educate everyone about what is going to happen and what they can do as well to defend democracy.

The story behind the BBC refusing to air a documentary about Israeli attacks on Gaza hospitals Two veteran journalists produced a documentary that showed evidence of war crimes in Gaza. But the BBC refused to air the film. Why?
