It was just last week that Elon Musk played buddy-buddy with President Donald Trump in a friendly Oval Office event that marked the end of his White House service. Now — mere days later — the split between the two has become increasingly bitter, and each is going after the other publicly. And the spat isn’t just personal.

Elon Musk is stepping back from his Trump administration work with a trail of wreckage — and failure — behind him. Musk said Wednesday that his time as a White House employee — already scaled back to one or two days a week — was now coming to an end. But he’d already had his power reined in, becoming far less powerful in Washington as his grand ambitions hit a wall.

President Donald Trump’s second term has so far been dominated by his aggressive use of executive power — but now, he’s finally trying to get something through Congress. This week, Republicans in the House of Representatives will attempt to pass what Trump has deemed the “one big, beautiful bill.” It is the centerpiece — really, the only major piece — of Trump’s legislative agenda.

Markets rejoiced as the US and China reached a temporary truce of sorts in their trade war Monday, sharply reducing tariffs in a “90-day pause.”For Trump, this was a climbdown. He had severely escalated the trade war against China, starting on “Liberation Day” when he began hiking tariffs through the roof — all the way to 145 percent — in a series of tit-for-tat exchanges.

Pretty good proxy for the drop in how much of the day we've spent thinking about him https://t.co/vFvEepUaVP
Not knowing field this is obviously premature but I can definitely see scenarios where SC going first *lessens* its impact. There are big benefits to going just before Super Tuesday and "settling" things. But if SC's first, a progressive can flop there & say "well, it's just SC"
Totally forgot about SC calendar switch. A testament to Biden’s power grab of early 2023 and the ways the party was cynically using the language of representation at that time. Gonna be interesting to see if they switch it again by 2028 or it’ll shape field in unexpected ways
What’s the influential online political movement or faction of recent times that had the least toxic supporters? Just a pure “good vibes, no assholes” political movement. Does one exist?
Abundance probably would’ve gone over better with ‘the left’ if it was just the two authors promoting it. Some needed ideas in there. Once it got a posse of dudes who can’t say an idea without punching left in smug and counterproductive ways, it got mired in this stupidity.
