First Germany, then Canada, and now Australia. Antifascists are making a global comeback.

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

OK, its not a question of whether the phone is compromised. If you are the spy chief of a major country's intelligence service and your people have not compromised this phone, you should resign and find some other line of work

I remain surprised that anyone finds this surprising. I am not sure why it’s worth paying someone nearly half a million dollars a year to say “everything’s fine” and then hide some more. Surely there’s an inexpensive bot that can provide the same service www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/5f2c11f...

Twitter is down. Tesla stock is down. A SpaceX rocket went down. Prices are up. Inflation is up. Maybe Elon Musk… isn’t the best at this?

The thing about delaying auto tariffs a month is that, guess what, you're still going to be dealing with the Canadian/Mexican response, and both have significant leverage. Also: delaying a month does nothing to solve the problem of totally integrated supply chains.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

We cannot ignore how shockingly abnormal it is for a private citizen — who himself has contracts with the federal government — to dispatch a private army of executives, data experts and recent high schoolers to dictate policies to federal agencies. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/elon...

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

The irony of claiming fear about measles and TB from those seeking asylum while appointing an anti science anti vaccine grifter to HHS is just too much. Fucking post truth world.

After American airspace was closed on 9/11, over 230 flights with 30,000 passengers and crew were diverted to Canadian airports. Transport Canada received thousands of calls from members of the public offering to help the stranded passengers. Thinking about that today, for no particular reason.

In the space of half a day, the new administration has trashed the Constitution, subverted the independence of the DOJ, granted a broad amnesty to traitors, abandoned the global community on climate and public health, and launched a wide-ranging attack on minority rights.

CNN is hopelessly broken. 1. This "expansion" would require military invasions of several allies in violation of international law. 2. It would violate several treaties. 3. The Louisiana Purchase was the sale of land by a colonial power (France). These are sovereign nations.

CNN is cheerleading and sanewashing Trump’s international aggression. This is the equivalent of German newspapers cheerleading Hitler’s designs on Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland.
