Elon Musk calls federal spending on Social Security, benefit programs "the big one" to eliminate
Folks, we knew this was coming, but its arrival is no less jarring and the consequences no less catastrophic. Elon Musk is predictably pushing thoroughly debunked theories about Social Security while describing federal benefit programs as rife with fraud, suggesting they will be a primary target in his ongoing crusade to slash government spending and inflict untold pain on tens of millions of Americans. The ketamine enthusiast suggested that $500 billion to $700 billion in waste needed to be cut. "Most of the federal spending is entitlements," Musk told the Fox Business Network. "That’s the big one to eliminate." Did you hear that? ELIMINATE. Please believe them when they broadcast out loud exactly what they intend to do.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Fox News disses Trump as markets crash
If the market continuing to tank yesterday wasn't already bad enough, the way that even Fox News seems wholly disinterested in running cover for Trump really is the nail in the coffin.

Elon Musk busted pushing FAKE ADS in Wisconsin Supreme Court race
WisDems: There’s a must-win state Supreme Court election in Wisconsin on April 1st — and Elon Musk just dropped TENS OF MILLIONS dollars into deceptive and misleading attack ads that look like they're from liberal candidate Susan Crawford in an attempt to steal back the court for Republicans and put anti-abortion extremist Brad Schimel into power. Wisconsin is one of the most important swing states in the country and the integrity of our future elections is at serious risk if the GOP retakes control of the state’s highest court. Will you make a donation to Wisconsin Democrats and help stop Elon from buying ANOTHER election with his dark money?

House Democrat mocks Republicans for seeking their help in avoiding shutdown: "Put on your mandate pants and pass whatever"
Rep. Jim McGovern of Massachusetts scoffed at Republicans who insist that Democrats should help them avoid a government shutdown set for March 14 if the GOP-controlled Congress does not pass a spending bill and issued a blistering retort: "Last time I checked, you have the majority in the House and in the Senate. And you control the White House. The idea that somehow Democrats have the responsibility to pass a CR or any bill, quite frankly, where we don't have any input on, I think is is ridiculous. I mean, you run around bragging about this big mandate. Well, put on your mandate pants and pass whatever you wanna do." And THAT is how you operate from the minority. Are we finally paying attention, Democrats?

Lara Trump thinks Americans should be "kissing the feet" of Trump and Musk
Wait, we thought they already had that covered? Also, is it just us, or does this sound decidedly North Korean?

Tesla’s stock tanks costing Phony Stark $18 billion as DOGE crusade continues
That sound you hear is the world's tiniest violin playing super-sad songs for the world's still-richest-man-toddler. Here's a thought, Elon: Put the chainsaw down, stop it with the sieg heiling, stop harassing lifetime public servants and let them do their jobs, and turn your obviously finite attention back to your own hemorrhaging and literally exploding business ventures.
Trump pick for Washington US attorney made derogatory and racist comments
You will be SHOCKED to learn that Ed Martin, the MAGA cult leader's appointee as interim US attorney for the District of Columbia and nominee to hold the position permanently, has repeatedly made derogatory and racist comments in past social media posts and columns. Martin’s rhetoric includes falsely claiming Kamala Harris "self-identified" as Black and calling her the new Rachel Dolezal, claiming Planned Parenthood targets Black communities for abortions, claiming that Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor made racist comments to white males about her own identity, and invoking false claims about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to affirm support for the Republican Party and the Tea Party movement. But wait, there's (always) more! Just last week, Martin wrote a letter to the dean of the Georgetown law school, telling the school to end any diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, claiming his office would not hire anyone associated with a university with DEI programs.

RFK Jr. makes outlandish claims linking measles to poor diet and exercise
Ah, for f*ck's sake, Robert. Please shut the f*ck up. Pretty sure it wasn't lack of cod fish oil, low levels of calcium, or poor push-up form that tragically took the life of the UNVACCINATED child in Texas last month. Why the f*ck are we entertaining the fanatical musings of a worm-addled, ex-heroin addict, anti-vaxx lunatic and re-debating long-settled science? Oh, right. MAGA.

The USA, today
