When things are grim and heavy, I always try to take some time to laugh. Watching Gary Oldman absolutely lose it was a shot of serotonin today.

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats. An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

These clips are doing more for the Democrats than anything else right now and honestly maybe their response to the state of the union should be airing these clips and that’s it

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Both the leaders of the US and of Ukraine were actors. One of them turned into a politician and the other turned into a Russian asset. And it's not who you would normally think.

I’ve long believed that the American media would be more clear-eyed about the return and actions of wanna-be dictator Donald Trump and the coup by Musk if it was happening overseas in a foreign country. Here's the story the US should be writing this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/king-donal...

American institutions—from the media to Congress—continue to underreact to the unraveling of our democracy. Overseas our media would not hesitate to call what we’re living through a full-blown autocratic coup. Here's my attempt at the story they should write: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-trump...

Following on the overwhelming response to last week's column, I wrote a second dispatch imagining how the Musk takeover would be covered by the US media if it was happening overseas, and they felt comfortable calling a spade a spade.... www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/white-nati...

When asking questions to the press secretary, reporters should refer to Musk as President Musk just to see how Trump would respond.

Watching mainstream TV news the past couple of days has been genuinely shocking. The wealthiest person in the world has taken control of the government’s payments system and they’re still doing endless segments on Groundhog Day and Super Bowl recipes.

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

maybe there was actually a pretty good reason for the 14th amendment to have banned insurrectionists who tried to overthrow the government from serving in government and the decision to just decide it was a dead letter and ignore it was a horrible mistake?

One of the big things that helped me get through the isolation of Covid was combining my love of 3D modeling with my love for maps. Add in a bit of Python, and I started producing maps in my spare time. And I've loved every minute of it. #gis #blender #art #cartography

Took the drone up for a panorama. The clouds were too close, too tall, and my lens not short enough to capture the tops. #kswx #FallStorms
