NEW: One of my favorite columnists, @jenrubin.bsky.social has left the WaPo, to join with Norm Eisen in launching a new publication: The Contrarian. In a parting kick in the nuts to Bezos, the tagline is: “Not owned by anybody.” Rubin told CNN it's pro-democracy, with two dozen contributors aboard.

Hard to process the devastation I’ve witnessed in the last two days. Still in a state of shock for those who have lost so much in such a short period of time. #NoWords 💔

Chip Carter, the son of former president Jimmy Carter and Rosalynn, on his parents: "He was held up and propped up and soothed by an amazing woman, and the two of them together changed the world, and it was an amazing thing to watch from so close." My eyes won't stop watering. 😭

ICYMI, China carried out a cyber-attack on 9 telecom giants, including Verizon and AT&T -- giving them access to your calls and texts. We're “in a new realm here," says cybersecurity expert Samm Sacks. “We have to look at cyber-attacks as an extension of military power." #Velshi

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was ProPublica reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social. propub.li/3DGXECO

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Thank goodness for people like former WAPO cartoonist @anntelnaes.bsky.social, American hero. This may only be the rough of the cartoon she planned to run before she was told she couldn't, but it speaks volumes, perhaps, especially in this form.

Why are Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, Pichai and Tim Cook visiting and giving money to Trump ? Because they are in “The Race “ to become the dominant platform in the world. Amazon/Anthropic vs FB/LLama vs Google/Gemini vs Twitter/Grok, vs IPhones/ChatGpt is the penultimate global power war ever.

The sad reality is, the overwhelming majority of Americans don't know there's a voter for the Speaker going on, don't care & won't be able to name him after the vote. This is what happens in a country where civics education is no longer universal. Its absence lets darkness settle in over democracy.

In this age of increased terrorist threats and actions, we strongly need an FBI run by seasoned and competent leaders, not political hacks like Kash Patel.

Wow, I never knew he said this. Jimmy Carter was ahead of his time—a man of unmatched kindness and integrity. Truly, he was too good for us.

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others” For me, nobody epitomizes this quote better than Jimmy Carter. Rest in peace, good Sir. May your character, compassion and deeds inspire generations to understand the true meaning of a life well lived.

Statement from the Obamas: "Maranatha Baptist Church will be a little quieter on Sundays, but President Carter will never be far away – buried alongside Rosalynn next to a willow tree down the road, his memory calling all of us to heed our better angels."

Please remember that President Carter appointed more minorities and women to the bench than all previous presidents combined. He was the first President to embrace the concept of bringing racial diversity to the federal bench. A key aspect of his legacy. www.washingtonpost.com/archive/poli...

I can’t think of a better way to honor Jimmy Carter than donating to Habitat for Humanity. He and Rosalynn first began volunteering with the nonprofit in 1984 — 3 years after leaving the White House. They volunteered every year until 2020, eventually helping to build and repair 4,390 Habitat homes.

Rest in peace to Submariner LT James Earl Carter Jr, USN (Ret). Carter, the only U.S. President to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy, leaves a legacy of service. The USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23), a Seawolf-class fast-attack submarine, carries his name in honor of his dedication to our nation.

Trump’s plan to reverse Obama’s 2015 decision to name Alaska’s tallest peak Denali has drawn backlash. The name, meaning “The High One,” honors the Koyukon Athabascan people. Why undo this?

“Elon has billions in government contracts, you don’t see a conflict of interest there?” New Hampshire’s Gov. Chris Sununu: “Everyone has a conflict of interest on some level… he’s so rich it doesn’t matter to him.” 🤡 A full-throated endorsement and defense of corruption.

CNN shows Bannon referring to Musk & Vivek as “big tech oligarchs” and “geeks” who were “stuffed in lockers” Bannon is more in touch with Trump’s MAGA base than Elon. Will Trump side with them? Or abandon them for his new rich tech buddies?
