Sunday thought
The tide may be turning







Friends,

It’s easy to be depressed, discouraged, dumbfounded by the cruelty and brainlessness of Trump and the people around him.

But today I want to celebrate what may be a turn in the Trump tide.

Elon Musk had to exit Trump world not because he couldn’t continue as a special government employee (there are a hundred ways around this), but because most Americans have become infuriated with Musk’s attacks on things they value, like veterans benefits and Social Security. Musk had become a huge political liability.

I call this progress.

Musk also had to leave because Tesla was tanking, partly thanks to you and so many others who wouldn’t be caught dead in a Tesla after what Musk has done.

I call this progress, too.
