WaPo doing my friend Acyn a solid on the open market with the ladies by noting that this single 40-something watches TV 18 hours a day. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Well-deserved recognition for one of the single-most talented people on the entire Internet. You all know MeidasTouch senior editor @acyn.bsky.social’s clips. Now learn more about the man behind the posts.

Senator Warner just passionately demanded the Trump Administration to explain why the President just slapped Australia with a tariff despite America having a trade SURPLUS and them being a critical security partner. It did NOT go well...

For those wanting to make sense of what happened today re tariffs, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social Senator Chris Murphy’s explainer, below, is worth a read! 👇🏻

Oh the irony!!! Is that the far right’s playbook? When the radical right can’t win via democratic vote, they abuse the legal system to jail their opponents. This is their standard playbook throughout the world. www.politico.eu/article/elon...

Fantastic!!! 🤣🤣🤣

This is spot on!!! The problem with just attacking with the truth is it’s not as interesting or appealing as a good made up story. You need to back up the truth with facts and by the time you do that people have lost interest. Time to cancel this terrible show. www.facebook.com/share/15ssw5...

Wow! Incredible read!!! “We, the opposition, are the majority. Take heart. “ www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/they-are-a...

If Donald Trump is such an aviation expert, then why did his Trump Shuttle airline fail? Riddle me that, MAGA.

JUST IN: Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski will NOT vote to confirm Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense

BREAKING: Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship is "blatantly unconstitutional," a federal judge said, temporarily blocking it nationwide.

“It’s an insult to the Capitol Police, to the rule of law and to the nation. If I accept a pardon, I’m continuing their propaganda, their gaslighting and all their falsehoods they’re putting out there about Jan. 6.” Good for her! www.nytimes.com/2025/01/22/u...

Checkmate!

Trump is already killing manufacturing jobs in America.

Ouch! Mizrahi doesn’t hold back! But he’s not wrong.

I love how Denmark isn’t taking any shit from Donald Trump. 🇩🇰 🤣

It’s been 50 years since Cyclone Tracy hit Darwin and she left about 10,000 houses destroyed and 40,000 people homeless from a city population of 47,000. The damage bill at the time totalled A$800 million. More than 30,000 residents were evacuated, about 60% of whom never returned. 66 people died😢

Russia has helped Bashar al-Assad to keep his rule in Syria for many years until rebels took over the country in just a few days. The Kyiv Independent’s Natalia Yermak sat down with Neil Quilliam, a Middle East expert at Chatham House, to talk about what it means for Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Mitch McConnell: “We’re in a very, very dangerous world right now, reminiscent of before world war two,” he says. “Even the slogan is the same. ‘America First.’ That was what they said in the ’30s.”

And the new era begins. My Substack is alive again, and here's my first post paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-fraudu...

I thought this would be a fun Starter Pack to share. It’s basically the folks I discovered were on Bluesky whose presence here caused me to say, “Whoa, really? Already?” when I found them (journalists and commentators excluded). Essentially, these are the earliest signs of this platform’s growth.

A billionaire brigade is undertaking Trump‘s transition staffing and planning. Dozens of people who literally know nothing about government, and probably could not pass a civil service exam, are staffing and organizing Trump 2.0. What could possibly go wrong?

Assad has resigned and left Syria, Russia’s Foreign Ministry says, a stunning fall for the longtime dictator that ushered in hope and uncertainty after rebels opposed to his rule stormed across the country in a lightning offensive. www.nytimes.com/live/2024/12...

What a star! And apparently he has a younger brother who potentially could be better than Gout Gout!
