When technology gets a little too intense even for Elon Musk, maybe we should start to worry.

It seems ludicrous that Mitch McConnell could ever be viewed as “too liberal” within the Republican Party to maintain his leadership role, but that’s where things stand at this point in the Grand Old Party.
