“This debt …should be at the forefront of our minds this Memorial Day….We are being asked not to charge into a hail of …artillery fire but only to speak up and to stand up in the face of foundational threats.” Historian and former Harvard president Drew Faust. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/26/o...

In my latest for @nytopinion, I explain why Trump’s plan to revive American manufacturing is incoherent and misguided. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/o...

This is f*cked up! Stories of ICE luring immigrants to hearings just to arrest them keep coming—now they’re going after kids. Martir Garcia Lara, a fourth grader from Southern California, went to a hearing in Houston with his dad. Instead of an update, they were both detained and separated by ICE.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

How Elon Can Take Revenge On Trump An Open Video Letter To Elon Musk open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

Stephen Miller canceled on Kudlow last minute for an “emergency meeting” in the oval office Wonder what they could be discussing! 🤷🏻‍♂️

“Fascists are ultimately cannibals. They inevitably eat their own.” @wajali.bsky.social writes about the very public breakup of Trump and Musk, breaking down a day of petty threats and insults–tap link in bio to read and bring some popcorn!

In a historic first for this Trump administration: Trump and Public Citizen finally agree on something!

Chicken--Banana...

100% correct.

Chancellor Merz revealed that Trump's televised ambushes in the Oval Office can work both ways. (Carney understood this too.) Trump thinks he is the master of the media. But he is an idiot. And his obliviousness allows him to be shown up by his visitors in ways that score points for them worldwide.

Adam McKay is drafting a scene about this already for his next big movie on a major financial crash

And this, my friends, is all you need to know about Trump.

“So the obvious question is who’s on first, what’s on second, why are we having these trade talks? And I don’t understand based on his answers,” Kennedy explained. https://trib.al/N212A1D

Damn

The feud, 3 takeaways: - is doing a lot of damage to an already weakened Trump - it’s good Elon is helping stop Trump’s terrible bill - Elon is a serial criminal and should be prosecuted for his illegal and destructive dismantling of the US government.

It didn't take Steve Bannon long to come up with his solution to the Trump-Musk breakup.

I spoke with my good friend @djrothkopf.bsky.social and my other good friend (maybe I only have two?) @joecirin.bsky.social about whether Trump will get an Iran deal and just how big a scam is Golden Dome? thedsrnetwork.com/emergency-po... Thanks to @thedsrnetwork.bsky.social as always.

I regret to inform you that ackman is at it again

More power to Wired, leading the pack in journalism for this moment.

And it is the right belief, too.

WSJ reporting economists are questioning the quality of U.S. inflation data, after the Bureau of Labor Statistics was forced to use a less accurate method for guessing price changes, given staffing cuts and a hiring freeze limited the number of companies that were surveyed. How convenient.

Hi @djrothkopf.bsky.social and @normornstein.bsky.social, I just listened to today's Words Matter, as I do every week. Your evident joint sadness at the loss of your once great nation's status on the world stage reminded me of my experience as an EU-loving Brit when we were going through Brexit.

It’s like veep but much much much stupider

@normornstein.bsky.social Just received this in the mail what a difference to the present president.🥺😢🤦🏼

I'm sorry, as much as I am enjoying this spat, how can you take seriously someone who spent 100s of millions of dollars electing Trump, then went to work for Trump, left government just days ago praising Trump, and is now calling for Trump's impeachment. Just unserious people.

On this Memorial Day, thanks to all those who gave their time to fortify and secure our democracy. 💪🇺🇸🗽

They’re ignorant of how things work, but that’s their problem. We won’t forget.
