Attending my first @chicagoskycam.bsky.social game this year. Here's a controversial take. This team is bad. Can't score. Cant even hit a layup. Missed several so far. Cant hit free throws. Embarrassing.

Next on CNN...did Joe Biden's cognitive decline cause Donald Trump to sit in the Oval Office today and spin a racist conspiracy theory about white genocide in front of another world leader? Yes. Yes it did.

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

Capital flight is not good for anything, anyone, or any country. This is what happens when instability and uncertainty move beyond investors' risk tolerance.. Biggest consequences right now are the rise in interest rates on America's debt and the stability of the dollar. Both of those mean mkt drops

“He’s not a monster. He just plays one in the White House.” Whether it’s Bill Maher’s obsequious attempt to normalize Trump, or Tucker Carlson’s fawning over Putin, weak men have been capitulating to power since the beginning of time.

Okay, but besides wrecking the economy, sharing war plans over text message with an editor, destroying our cancer research capacity and public health system, spreading communicable diseases, and giving everyone's social security information to a teen nicknamed "BigBalls" - what has Trump done wrong?

This is true: The Trump administration said it has imposed a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory, whose only inhabitants are the U.S. and U.K. service members at the military base on Diego Garcia.

Trump hates American democracy. He hates open societies. He’s jealous of Xi and Putin. He wants America to be like Russia and he’s doing everything he can to make it so.

How stupid can these people be, part six thousand: I have zero public-office role, and from the start had all Venmo settings changed to "private." These people are the National Security Advisory (!!!) and the WH Chief of Staff (!!!!!) and did not know to do this. (See also: Signal.)

It's pretty wild to me that that Democratic leadership in Congress are struggling with rapid response and messaging generally, and somehow, there's J. B. Pritzker, a center-left Democrat from the Midwest, making it look easy and winning over folks across the ideological spectrum.
