3/ As a Jew, I find the Nazi / Holocaust comparisons challenging. While both are terrible, they're not the same for me. The Holocaust was an attempted genocide of the Jews, who made up the majority of those murdered in the death camps.

. @elonmusk is right to stand up to Trump and the GOP for caving on spending. None of us are on any team other than America. I was never a Dem and im not GOP now either.

The choices keep getting slimmer.
