www.bloomberg.com/news/article... Both steps amount to an “immense strategic gift to China,” Summers said. “If there is more of a spring in the step in Beijing, it has a lot to do with the idea that China is going to be able to inherit the world order.”

In what way is Menendez a political operative?

Oh wow it’s amazing how carefully you constructed your rant. Reid and Hasan are media people who are completely unconnected to the employment situations of Scarborough, Steele and Wallace. Sheesh.

RT JerryRigEverything @ZacksJerryRig Yosemite Nat'l Park's budget is about $30 Million / year trump spent $30 million dollars in the last month just visiting the Super Bowl and Daytona 500. I'd say leave the parks open and have him turn on the TV. But what do i know about government efficiency?

well, Elmo is truly a dolt

seems you give/take no consideration of an election coming up _________ Hochul’s stance is highly...

@steverattner.bsky.social please show the decline of federal tax revenues -- before the 2017 tax cut, and even more so thereafter

!!!!!!!!!!!!

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

This is who Republicans just made FBI Director. Kash Patel calls for “offensive operations” to jail Americans who they consider “the enemy.” “We will go out and find the conspirators... Yes, we are going to come after the people in the media”

yes!!!!!

yes, #notacourt

a warning of Russia ‘preparing for war w/ NATO’ ukdefencejournal.org.uk/intelligence... Estonia’s Foreign Intelligence Service reports that Russia is expanding its armed forces in a way that “not only supports Russia’s war effort in Ukraine but also prepares for a potential future war with NATO.”

They’re going to try and prosecute their political enemies

I see a lot of people getting irate at folks resigning in protest, but that's off the mark. Unless you're disputing their power to fire you, which isn't applicable in most of these cases, then resigning lets you say why, on the record, on your own terms. In most cases it is the correct thing to do.

Have you had this thought lately? “I couldn’t possibly affect this situation, so I’m tuning out” Here’s one thing you can do every day: Email your reps and share your voice!! www.aclu.org/action

lots of evil prevails in the crew assembled by the orange turd

I try to keep the language on here… PG… but in this case i can’t. You, Trump, are a traitorous piece of shit

brava on the milestone AND the decision

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

There's no defense for what Trump prattles on about; of course Trump's message is the most pernicious of his nonsensical statements. However he was created & however the BS narratives are being fed by his allies, it's evident that he lives in a make believe world and must be opposed -- constantly.

The very first thing he did was a Nazi salute.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy's speech at the Munich Security Conference ends with prolonged applause👏

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

terrific!

does he raise that child?

There’s a benefit called “pretrial diversion” where, extremely rarely, the feds will dismiss criminal charges against you if you stay out of trouble for a while. Never seen it as “if you run a major city the way we want for a year.”

If Congressional Democrats vote for a budget and debt ceiling increase while Trump and Musk are breaking very serious laws and usurping Congress's power of the purse, it'll be enablement. Validation. A pathetic path to historical infamy. I strongly agree with @brianbeutler.bsky.social. Take a stand.

This is an absolutely astonishing report. DOGE did a complete takeover of CFPB’s systems at the root. This is identical to worst case scenarios for the most devastating cyberattacks by foreign actors, only this is an *internal* threat

Jennings is an arrogant ass

Gaza Development Plan = send in U.S. troops to permanently remove 2 million Palestinians and turn it over to Donald Trump to build a beach and casino resort. Literally the plan.

Can the President Pardon Contempt of Court? Probably Yes. crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/...
