“I think his legacy is not going to be an EV or putting rockets into space. I think it’s going to be unnecessary death, disease & disability. That's not what it means to be an innovator, that's not what it means to be an American, that's not what it means to be a man" ~Scott Galloway #ElonMusk

#ProudBlue Every word that Scott Galloway said 👏👏👏👏👏👏 I feel it all to my core. I’ve been screaming this since Trump came down the escalator. Why are we excusing their abhorrent behavior? Musk & Trump are morally bankrupt. Kevin O’Leary doesn’t even know what to do with his face.

Donald Trump sued me for racketeering, I won and did not back down. Donald Trump tried to have me investigated, I did not back down. Donald Trump named me in executive orders, I did not back down. If your lawyers are so afraid that they are cutting deals with Trump, you have the wrong lawyers.

We make jokes about this sometimes because it’s laughable. But when journalists try to make sense of the nonsensical, rational out of the irrational, and coherence out of the incoherence, they affirmatively do the public interest great harm.

"Trump is unique among the nation’s presidents in having no interest in presiding over a functioning govt, let alone building institutions that will survive his term in office. That's why the analogies pundits have tried to draw between the early periods of other presidencies fall entirely flat."

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.

One of the keys to covering Donald Trump, @jenpsaki.msnbc.com explains, is not to be distracted by whatever shiny object he is waving. ( @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social premieres Tuesday at 9pmET on MSNBC )

When did WWII start? Everyone knows: 1939 But not in the russian version of events. They like to believe that the war started in 1941 because that convincingly ignores Nazi-Soviet alliance. For those in the back, let me say it again: Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia started WWII together as allies!

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

this is an unsurprisingly good piece because miles does reliably excellent work and a thing that does not escape my notice is that when @rollingstone.com has conversations about trans people & trans issues, they have them with trans people or have trans writers lead them.

I am convinced a major factor in the tariff disaster is that Trump has so consistently been met with cowardice and capitulation from every quarter in American politics that he imagined other countries would just as easily fold to bullying.

If the agent of an embittered KGB officer somehow won the US presidency and entered into the office bent on destroying the USA in its national influence, network of alliances, and the American people’s quality of life, what would he be doing differently?

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.
