Elon Musk has a message about the new documentary Musk: he calls it a “hit piece.”

Directed by Alex Gibney, the nearly four-hour film examines Musk's business empire, political influence, and controversies. Musk didn't participate in the documentary, and the film has already sparked a public war of words.

That raises an interesting question: How do we tell the difference between a documentary that exposes important facts and one that presents a one-sided story?

You don't have to be an Elon Musk fan to ask questions about how a story is told.

Would you watch this documentary? And how much does a filmmaker's point of view influence whether you trust what you're watching?

Let's hear your thoughts in the comments.

Well, this is an interesting turn of events.

President Trump has canceled plans to livestream the Fort Hood shooter’s ex*****on. The ex*****on itself is still scheduled, but it won’t be broadcast to the public.

So here’s a question for everyone who was cheering the idea of a public ex*****on: Have you changed your mind now that Trump has changed his?

Genuinely curious to hear your thoughts. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crx23qlnj27qo

Our Word of the Week is strong-arming. Have a watch!

This is beyond troubling. What is Trump doing?

Federal agents with Homeland Security Investigations searched Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s home in Washington, D.C., just weeks before the midterm elections. Authorities say the search was part of an ongoing criminal investigation. Omar says it is an attempt at political intimidation.

Here is what concerns me: President Trump has repeatedly attacked Omar publicly, and now federal law enforcement has searched her home at a politically sensitive moment.

We should be able to investigate credible allegations and enforce the law. But we should also be able to expect transparency, impartiality, and a government that does not use its power to intimidate political opponents.

The timing deserves scrutiny. When a president is facing a critical midterm election, Americans have every right to question whether political considerations are influencing the use of federal power.

Is this legitimate law enforcement, political theater, or something the public needs more answers about?

We are better than turning our justice system into a political weapon. What do you think?

The Pentagon's plan to livestream Nidal Malik Hasan's ex*****on is raising serious questions about who we are as a country.

Let's be clear: Hasan was convicted in the horrific 2009 Fort Hood shooting that killed 13 people and wounded 32 others. The victims and their families should never be forgotten. They deserve justice, dignity, and our continued respect.

But broadcasting an ex*****on for the public to watch? Turning a government killing into a spectacle doesn't bring those victims back. And it raises a much bigger question about the values we want America to represent.

We are better than this. We can take violent crime seriously, demand accountability, and still recognize that human dignity matters.

Justice should never become entertainment.

Where do you stand? Should the government livestream an ex*****on, or is that a line America should never cross? I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Think you’re in the clear because you’re not the one using drugs? Not so fast.

If you’re at a party where illegal drugs are being used and the police arrive, the situation can get complicated quickly. Being present doesn’t automatically make you guilty, but the circumstances matter, and you don’t want to learn that lesson the hard way.

In this video, Tad talks about the legal risks of being around drug activity and why making a smart decision about where you spend your time can save you a whole lot of trouble.

Be honest: If you found out drugs were being used at a party, would you stick around or head for the door? Let’s hear it in the comments.

“I’ll only be a few minutes.” We’ve all heard that before, but when a child is left alone in a car, even a quick stop can carry real risks. 🚗
A Harris County report brings this issue close to home. What does Texas law say about leaving a child unattended in a vehicle? And why is it so important for parents and caregivers to think twice before stepping away?
Take them with you. A few minutes just aren’t worth the risk. ❤️
