Either this is a distraction, which is irresponsible, or it’s serious, which is insane. You choose, Mr. Trump.

a good example of how the world is getting dumber. the new politico playbook writer didn't know who FDR was until a reader told him about that whole "new deal" thing. this newsletter is read by every important person in DC.

I hope people understand what we are seeing here. 1) Trump and Putin are preparing a common plan to dictate to Ukraine. 2) Ukraine will surprise them (at least Trump) by refusing. 3) The War will continue. 4) The role of Europe will be decisive.

OTD in 1994 trilateral agreement between Russia, Ukraine & USA was signed. "Ukraine commits to full disarmament, including strategic offensive weapons, in exchange for economic support & (this is the best part) security assurances from the USA & Russia" So you can trust us now on a new deal.

Elon Musk has used the LA wildfires as an excuse to attack racial and sexual minorities, going so far as to highlight individual minority firefighters for his supporters to harass. But what are his true political beliefs?

the incredible conclusion of this thread: "Zuck seems to have been fed *the false narrative* that has circled around the Jim Jordan / Matt Taibbi / Elon Musk circus, *rather than* what *actually happened* at Meta by TALKING TO THE PEOPLE AT META who dealt with these issues"

My single prediction for 2025 in tech: Trump is asking for the delay in ban/force sale going into effect, so Elon can make a bid for TikTok, prolly with involvement from Larry Ellison (again) and other Twitter investors (again) in order to turn a lemon into rancid lemonade. China will cooperate.

At least to my knowledge and in my experience, this is the most benign any U.S. corporate media outlet has ever made war crimes that would destabilize the planet sound And if you can believe it, this headline is an edit of a previous headline that coyly said Trump was "teasing" these acts of war
